Wow, my body is more on Japan time than I thought. I couldn’t sleep until 6:30 a.m. this morning. (I spent the time doing some coding — geek! — and checking my server stats — ego-driven geek!) I thought after the very fine birthday party for Mark last night I’d be ready for bed. Or at least after he and I were forced to down birthday shots. But no — and as a result, I’m just waking up now. (I’m a slacker extraordinaire.)
In unrelated news, I had a story in the Religion section of the paper today. I didn’t even know it was running today until someone mentioned they liked it. I wrote that story back in August, but terrorist-related religious issues have been filling the section’s space since then, so my little piece on a religious TV show kept getting pushed back.
*ahem* I would be that "someone" and I want full credit for it, damnit. ;)
Sorry, but I cannot tell a lie: Osama told me. (He's a big DMN religion section reader.)
