Stay awake, don't close your eyes

Yes, 4am and still up. Yes, I got about five hours of sleep last night.
WTF? WTFF?
Ah, well. I'm through the K's in assembling my KBVR and '80s assemblages. And it looks like it's a good thing I bought a DVD burner. These things may not fit on a CD.
And I got to see Banlieu 13 tonight, which was quite enjoyable. I was a little concerned, given that it's a Besson film and the last thing I saw from him was 5th Element. But this has redeemed him.
Also stopped by Safeway tonight, and it was like locusts hit it. Rose? This kept making me think of consumer emergency hurricane prep. But anything with a sale tag on it was gone. Buy twenty get one free? All gone. I got the last two packages of tofu in the entire store. And they were both silky. Boo. No mushrooms to be had for love nor money. The list goes on. I was disoriented by the whole thing. PErhaps that's what's keeping me awake--the haunting memory of the empty shelves where mushrooms should be.

Gotta get the operator make a telephone call

I've added Skype to the laptop, mostly so I could call in to a party while I'm out of town.

Cyrano's Laptop (cyranocoyote.2) at the Maidenhead Bar on Beaumonde for my Rim World activity, which complements the desktop account Cyrano Jones (cyranocoyote) at the Eavesdown Docks on Persephone for my Core World activity

For those not in the know, Skype is Voice over Internet service; you download the software, and you can contact other people with Skype for free or call people's phones for money. I have no video, but many people can. I have occasional audio stutter, but if I avoid playing Sims while on the phone it's not too bad. If you are somebody I like to talk to on the phone, I do recommend that you give it a try--the audio quality is much better than on my cel phone, and I will enjoy chatting with you far more which means I am more likely to speak to you.
