Spend about 30 minutes looking at time zone maps.  My mind is blown by the international date line.

Tonight I'm gonna decide at midnight to sleep on the couch because my persistent cough is keeping my poor spouse awake. Then I'm gonna lay on the couch, awake and coughing, for another hour and a half, until the codeine kicks in. Then I'm gonna sleep fitfully for about 5 hours, then suddenly be wide awake because I dreamed I was playing a really cool dice game, and when I woke up I was pretty sure I invented it and I wanted to write down the rules before I forgot them. Then I'm gonna spend an hour doing that, and posting them to G+, and then I'm gonna figure I may as well have breakfast because the sun is starting to come up and I'm probably not going to be able to go back to sleep anyway.

Later, I'm gonna hate myself for being up so late last night and so early this morning, when my kids are driving me up the wall and my spouse is working past suppertime for the 4th night this week. Yuck.

(s)he gets confused
flying over the date line
her hands turn red
cause the days change at night
 change in an instant
the days change at night
change in an instant

Man, good rock music is not poetry. Not at all. Her hands turn red? I always thought they were saying "do days change to night?" as in, she is confused about what happens when you cross the date-line.

Did you uncircle me? Because I didn't see this

Am I gonna have to do this google+ thing? I . . . really? Goddammit.

It should have shown up for you -- I only posted it to people who had asked to be included in "Hobbies" posts. I'll check again to make sure you're on that list.

Nabu, join ussss....I mean, uh, let me know if you need an invite.

I got one from someone a month or two ago. I just . . . I don't have time to keep up with two social networking sites. I need to socially network in reality more.

So my new co-worker asserted today, with disturbing surety, that Randy Rhoads was in Black Sabbath. Now, I don't mind someone not knowing what band he was in (or even that he was a guitarist and not a radio personality), but being certain he was in Black Sabbath concerns me. That kind of behavior is on the co-worker stereotype list.

Did you try to correct them or was it a case of why bother?

Sometime I don't know what the fuck y'all are talking about, and I'm OK with that.

I disabused him of the notion, and gave plenty of background info so he had to know I knew the fuck I was speaking of, and he still gave me that sideways stinkeye thing. Fuck THAT guy.

Yeah, and me too - I definitely wanted to make it clear that I much prefer someone who doesn't know to someone who doesn't know and fronts.

It took me a long time to understand that "Ozzy Osbourne" and "Black Sabbath" were completely separate things. Of course, that "long time" happened when I was 15 or something.

[Nabubrush]

I bet you kept your mouth shut about it, though, because it ain't really your bag.

Trivia: most Black Sabbath lyrics are by bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler.

I learned this only recently.

[Nabubrush]

I learned this only recently.

I first learned it (if I remember correctly) whilst going through the box set (which is so very fuck*ng sweet - every fan should have a copy). There's really plush liner notes that talk about it, and discuss how Geezer was writing all this shit when his marriage was falling apart (later Sabbath). It's pretty interesting, or it was to me.
