It's Elvis day!

[annathepiper]

And I would absolutely have been listening to Elvis on the iPod all day at work, if I hadn't forgotten to take the stupid thing in with me. This is what I get for being up until 1am last night, partly due to the huge distraction of Bookworm Adventures, partly due to realizing around midnight that "oh shit I haven't written my 500 words for tonight", and partly due to forgetting that I still had laundry that needed to go into the dryer. Oops.

This meant of course that I was quite fried at work today, and it's only Monday. For added giggles and grins I also get to stay up really late tomorrow night--but for work-related reasons, as we are going to make that last desperate push to get this project we should have finished a month ago out the door. I will be on tap to stay up, VPN in, and pull servers out of the live pool so the new code can be put onto them, then put them back in. I'll be up at least until 2am, most likely. And the 522 doesn't run that late.

Nor do I trust myself to drive at that hour, especially given this tasty updated weather statement talking about the new cold front that's supposed to smack us upside the head tomorrow night and Wednesday. Note the word 'snow' in that forecast. Knowing our luck with this project so far, we'll get smacked with a foot of snow tomorrow night and we'll have to slip another week AIGH TIMMY'S STILL IN THE WELL WE'LL NEVER GET THERE IN TIME ahem. Sorry. I'm a little punch-drunk, does it show?

Anyway, I have written only about 50 words tonight, but I am going to give myself a break because I desperately need sleep. Especially if I have to stay up until OMG-thirty tomorrow night in the name of the righteous, the just, and getting this project finished at last. Fortunately, we have another three-day weekend to look forward to, featuring Wii Bowling! Maybe I'll make up the writing time then.

Not to mention the sleep.

More snow and/or wind is ALL I need. I thought I was going to lose it Friday night. OH HEY PLEASE KNOCK DOWN MORE OF MY TREES KTHX

[annathepiper]

Yeah, really. What's up with this winter, anyway? It's acting like, y'know, winter.

Only on your half of the continent, baby! We had a sunny high of 70 F last Saturday and they are predicting another for this weekend. The Polar Bear club in NY had a moment of silence/protest instead of jumping into freezing water.

Much as I hate what global warming is doing to the planet as a whole, I love not having to shovel snow or walk on ice....

Yeah, I've been hearing about the weather weirdness on that side of the country, too, and it's weirding me out. O.o

I noticed at work Monday that they were playing a lot of Elvis songs on the overhead music. I wondered out loud what was up, totally forgetting about his birthday, or whatever it was.

[annathepiper]

Yep, the anniversary of his birthday. :) He would have been 72!
