A timeline of my day so far, please excuse, I have had not enough sleep.
12:00 AM - standing third row off the stage as John Darnielle leans down into the crowd to sing-scream "No Children" with us at the end of the encore.
12:03 AM - make heart-hands at the bass player, last to leave the stage.
12:05 AM - apologize to
iulia and
oliviacirce for not showing them pictures of John Darnielle before they were exposed to his actual presence.
ALERT: IF YOU LIKE SKINNY GLASSES-WEARING NERDY DUDES WHO TALK ABOUT FRANZ KAFKA AND THE EXCUSES YOU MAKE TO GO TO YOUR EX'S HOUSE TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM ALL IN THE COURSE OF INTRODUCING ONE SONG ENTITLED "HOW TO EMBRACE A SWAMP CREATURE", YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT PICTURES OF JOHN DARNIELLE AND/OR GO TO A MOUNTAIN GOATS CONCERT.
Now you can't say I didn't tell you.
12:19 AM - drop
oliviacirce off and make for Milwaukee by way of the blessedly brightly-lit Shell station and a couple of badly-needed bottles of lemonade. I may have screamed a lot and sung a lot. ETA: At the concert, necessitating the lemonade. Not at the Shell station. /ETA
1:30ish AM - DEER! He trotted out onto I-94 like one of those college town pedestrians who has picked his spot and is going to pass behind you, WHY ARE YOU SLOWING DOWN YOU'RE RUINING EVERYTHING. I swerved and braked a bit, but I'm not sure how much difference it actually made.
The adrenaline did perk
iulia and I up for the rest of the drive, though.
2:05 AM - turned off the car in the driveway at my apartment.
2:08 AM - just checked my email one time before bed, and tweeted that I was home.
2:30ish AM - finally stopped talking to
iulia and went to sleep.
6:30 AM - ALARM GOES OFF
6:35 AM - Actually get out of bed and go take a shower.
6:50 AM - Apologetically inform
iulia that I'm done in the shower and it's her turn.
7:38 AM - Say goodbye to
iulia, who is headed home to pick up her husband and then drive to Michigan, on my front porch.
7:40 AM - Leave for work.
7:55 AM - Open up.
8:05 AM - snack size Crunch bar.
8:35 AM - commence watching Wonder Boys on my laptop.
8:40 AM - open up IMDB page for Wonder Boys, marvel at appearances of Katie Holmes and Alan Tudyk.
8:55 AM - phone call from faculty member leading to more phone calls blah blah work thing.
9:02 AM - resume watching Wonder Boys.
9:35 AM - go wander around and discover that there is still no one else here.
9:50 AM - while watching Wonder Boys, check whether it is being requested/offered for Yuletide, ponder signup plans.
10:03 AM - pause Wonder Boys to teach a student how to make bar graphs in Excel 2007, which I am able to do because I google up a tutorial in the time it takes her to log in to her computer. In case you're wondering, they're called 'Column Charts' and you need to go under the Insert menu after highlighting the relevant cells, including labels.
10:25 AM - finish watching Wonder Boys.
10:27 AM - google up that one Terry/James Yuletide story from last year - elmathelas' Over the River and Through the Woods.
10:30 AM - snack-sized Crunch bar.
10:48 AM - get distracted from reading fic, start this post.
10:56 AM - finish reading, come back to finish post.
...So I still have an hour left at work, followed by an hour's drive down to
iulia's place to puppysit while they're in Michigan. I think I can safely say I am no longer acclimated to chronic mild sleep deprivation. And I need a nap. And a lot of caffeine. And this entire bowl of snack-sized Crunch bars. Om nom nom.
