It's times like this...

that I wish I could evolve into a being composed of pure energy.

It is not so much the fact that my body woke me up after I finally managed to achieve something that I could call a sound sleep in order to inform me that I Must Eat Everything that I mind.
What I mind is that it came with a jolt of life-preserving adrenaline that would allow me to power my muscles despite being on the verge of death from starvation which, co-incidentally, prevents me from going back to sleep once I have appeased it by eating Everything.

That Was the Week that Was

The article I read today about the situation in Libya (revolutions in Libya and Yemen are not going as well as the one in Tunisia, btw) was full of... toothsome quotes. I share.

Gadhafi pledged to respond harshly to U.N.-sponsored attacks in an interview with Portuguese television broadcast just before the U.N. vote. "If the world is crazy," he said, "we will be crazy, too."

Oh, honey. It's so nice to see you taking the initiative on this one.

The Libyan government closed its airspace to all traffic Friday, according to Europe's air traffic control agency, Eurocontrol.
Libyan Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim offered to negotiate a cease-fire with the rebels. He welcomed the Security Council's concern for the people of Libya but called on the world not to allow them to receive weapons. "If any countries do that, they will be inviting Libyans to kill each other," he said.

Um. See above comment.

Military experts cautioned that the consequences of such action are unpredictable. The former head of the British army, Richard Dannatt, said it was crucial to proceed cautiously "so we don't get into the kind of situation that we got into in Iraq by not having a Plan B for the morning after."

Admittedly, it's ten years too late, but it's nice that *somebody* learned *something* from that quagmire.

Where is my mind?

It's Friday, and you know what that means.
No. Not 'only six more hours until I gets my drank on'. IFIAYAQD! Woo hoo!

Today's question is inspired by the person in the cube behind me:
You get the option to send a message to yourself, back in time. What is that message?
Note: Apparently over 80% of the answers are usually on the theme of "Buy Google/Sell Enron" or "Don't marry that person/marry that person". So those are off limits, and you have to come up with something more orginal.
My basement, My rules!

Dragon Age--Oh yeah, just one more thing

Grrrr

Matt Nathanson is giving a concert at SXSW right now that's streaming live. The email I got, the website, and the Facebook page, all say "Come by the website on Friday for a link to the *live streaming performance*. The performance is going on. There is no link to be found anywhere. My comment asking about it on the website is screened, pending moderator approval. Facebook wants me to let an invasive piece of software have access to my account before I can speak there.

Yet another maddening case of mission creep.

EDIT: The good news is that the concert doesn't start until *six*. I screwed up the time zone shift again. And by then I'll be at gaming, so I can't listen to it. However, it's still kind of close to curtain and there's no news.

I have a sad

That streaming live concert? Matt just regretfully announced that it's not going to happen.
But he promises to make it up to us.
