"Evolution leads to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to bad Star Wars references. Bad Star Wars references lead to pain. Pain leads to suffering." -- Tice with a J, 2005-12-12 in a discussion that started with a quote from someone who blamed various scary things, including crossdressing, on the teaching of evolution.

My sleep patterns have gone pear-shaped. Last night I fell asleep at 17:00, waking briefly around 1:00, and eventually rising at 5:00; then I crashed again from 9:00 to 10:00 (when something fell over in anoher room).

The hoped-for upside to this is that I'll be feeling decently rested instead of crashy again when time for rehearsal rolls around this evening. Knock wood, cross fingers, etc.

The downside, of course, is that a lot of stuff that got put off until yesterday is now put off again.

For breakfast, I made something I've decided to call an "egg indecision" unless I discover that it's already got another name: a cross between an omelette and a frittata, where some of the "fillings" (including nearly all of the cheese) are stirred in before the eggs hit the skillet, and the rest are folded inside omelette-style after the mixture has cooked enough to have a cohesive shape. (Or is this just an established omelette variant that I just don't encounter in restaurants? I use roughly equal parts cheese and egg -- sometimes a bit more cheese -- if that matters.)

This doesn't mean I can make omelettes yet -- I still need more practice, and today's breakfast did fall apart as I was folding it -- but I'm making progress on that front.

Hmm. On second thought, since it's a cross between a dish with a Spanish-sounding name and one with a French-sounding name, maybe I should pick a word from another romance language...

Brief status update: showered but not yet dressed, dizzy as hell, slowing down and trying to make that pass. Still going to try to get to last half of rehearsal (last two thirds if I'm lucky). Not sleepy (unsurprisingly, given how much sleep I got last night), very much feel like I need to sit down and lean back. Waiting for lavender/basil tea to work.
