Well, damn. That's no good.

Remember, next time that you play with a stalker. Or rather, you get a cage full of starving, rabid wombats and sloths and let them play with the stalker. Depending of the level of stalker-ness, you can also include a heavy dose of Ebola virus (don't bother looking it up if you don't know about it - just relax knowing it's a very painful way to be put out of your misery).

Haha (random thought) a good way to learn about Ebola.. read The Hot Zone, very good book, and you learn all about ebola. Sounds weird I know, but it is actually one of my favorite books.

Speaking of books, I have been in a big reading mood lately, I have read about 4 books in the last week, mostly by Nicolas Sparks, I know they are cheesy love stories, but that's what I need in life at the moment haha. Plus he is a good writer I should be studying, but I am finding that I have no motivation right now, good thing spring break is next week!

I read that book quite a while ago, and while there are some scientific departures from reality, it's all in all a decent account of both Ebola and Marburg. The move outbreak was very loosely based on that book. Any by very, I mean they took the idea of a hemorrhagic fever taking over and that was about it.

When I was in undergrad at one point, I was hoping to go into virology and was reading all I could on the uglier viruses out there...Ebola, Dengue, etc. That freaked out some of my friends.

About 90 miles from here, not that bad of a trip (same time for me to get to Detroit area as to there). If ya ever end up here, gimme a hollar.

Well, I might make a trip up there this summer. I'll let you know.

and we're back for another episode of Chris' insomnia. Tonight's episode has Chris figuring out his garden as well as remembering he needs to find someone to take his ancient Roto Tiller to so it will run again. Later, after the commercial break, we'll see Chris attempt to juggle both cats and three of his fish without spilling any blood or waking anyone else in the house.

No, sleep deprivation doesn't cause insanity at all...

One of these days I'm going to finally be able to get a full night's sleep without be awoken by my stupid brain (mostly), the child, or other events which I shall not speak of for fear of losing my life.

Chris,

I try to read for at least on hour before I go to bed...this takes my mind off the days issues & alligators. Give it a try...it really works for me.

HEY, response, people! comments! WOW, YIPPEE and to think i was going to bed!

Hi Lisa! How are things in your world? I spent last night moving 13,866 files from my "dead" PC to my new one. I used a 500MB portable HD to move the files. Took three hours but I am now all set. The new PC has all the files, MP3s, Docs, and photos files as did my old one. The good news is that I upgraded to PSCS4 and also got the Topaz PSCS4 Photo Suite add-ins (www.topazlabs.com).

I sold my 5D! I had 17 offers for it

Yea!

Good morning, everyone.

Hey, wait!! It's 4:15!! I'm going back to bed. I should be able to squeeze another couple hours sleep while the sun is still on the other side of the planet.

Hi, Tom...whispers in a small voice

LOL Jim, you're funny.

Hopefully you've all had a great Wednesday... half way through!

Hi, guys! I'm having a busy week. Hope you are all well.

I am not going to be around much for a few days...have the baby tomorrow, then Friday we are off to the Men In Skirts Golf Tourney. Home Sunday night and back to work for the next 3 days.
