I'm completely and utterly obsessed with Boston Legal. It's full of fast talk and hearty sentiment. There's always lots to say, and feel, on the show. I find real life almost boring in comparison

I've had days like that. It helps to consume a LOT of caffeine, but it's better to be very well rested and nourished to be quick on your feet.
Some of my friends remember a slightly different version of me, from when I was much quicker with words and such. That part of me went into hibernation when I started working startup dotcom hours (Hi, Triand!), and now that I have kids I just don't even try anymore!
I am looking forward to going back to my ideal state at some point but in the meantime I have heaping helpings of stress and sleep loss, which have mainly served to slow me down and drive away my fair-weather friends.
YES, I sometimes wonder about the having-kids impact on high-impact conversation/wit. They can't reparte like a witty adult, so maybe one becomse out of practice. You and C both seem witty and quick still to me, though, so maybe you have each other to keep up with!
Sleep deprivation and stress are DEFINITE wit-killers. Argh to them both!
Come over with Riesling sometime and I'll tell you ALL about it... :)
I think the wit loss is more due to sleep deprivation than being around babies all day, but I can only speak for myself -- Chrysta may have a different story.
Seriously, we need another macro meal + wine soon.
it's an endurance exercise. if you want high-impact, come chat with our 3 year old! she's fast and keeps us in line (witty, quicky and sleep deprived). ;)
