I'm really groggy today. I used the word "befuddled" earlier to describe how I feel. Sarah replied that I was obviously alert enough to use the word "befuddled" in a sentence.

My Jeep got its first shower last night -- inside and out. Around 3 a.m. I heard thunder, lightening and driving rain. This is about when I realized I left the window down (I had looked into the sky, decided it was crystal clear, and that it probably wouldn't rain until this afternoon). So, I run outside in my pj's in the pouring rain (dogs chasing behind me trying to figure out what this new game is) and close the window. Unfortunately the seats got wet. Fortunately, the roof and side windows and back windows were all up. Unfortunately the rolled down window was the driver's side, so my pants were more than a little wet by the time I got to work this morning. I went back to bed.

I woke up 10 minutes later to obnoxious cat "MEOW MEOW MEOW" rattle rattle rattle (he sticks his paw under my door and rattles it) bang bang bang (opening and closing cabinet doors. When I decide the cat isn't going to give up, I get out of bed AGAIN and lock him in Kennda's room. (Yes, I remembered to let him out this morning).

No wonder I'm groggy.

Nick Saadah, my roommate, started a journal. I expect inflamatory rants, ballet dancing, and daydreaming about girls to be his regular topics.

This question at the end of a work book made me laugh yesterday, but apparently others didn't find it so funny. You can weigh in on your opinion:

QUESTION: "What is wrong in the following story? You are a new commander approaching the HAC, but you just can't get over it. A spaceship from a class M planet orbiting Betelgeuse has rendezvoused with you while on orbit. It was touchy at first but you finally learned to communicate by using Morse code and a flashlight. They invited us to meet them on Mars. It looks like you are going to get to command this historical flight to the red planet."

ANSWER: "What is wrong in the story is that the commander is not concentrating on his initial HAC turn. If he does not start concentrating soon he may end up in the swamps short of the runway. He would be so embarrased if he did that, he couldn't show his face on Mars to meet the Betelgeusan's."

Last night I was searching for a little html script that I could put on my blog to countdown to my next major trip. I didn't find one I like, but I found this: The Human Clock which was awesome.
