Holy crap, Michael Crichton died. He was so young.

I'm cold and disappointed and probably extremely overtired--I don't feel it physically, but I'm sure it's affecting my thought processes or lack thereof.  It's not even that I haven't had time to sleep, just that I haven't been able to.  I got into bed at two last night expecting to sleep the sleep of the dead, but woke at five.  And on Monday night I carefully got everything ready for election day, took a melatonin tablet and slipped into bed just after nine, only to wake up at 1 am and remain mostly-awake until my alarm went off at 5 am. 

Also, is there anyone on earth who finds someone else's whistling to be a pleasant sound? Not just neutral, but pleasant? Because I'm thinking not.

about that puppy...

Michelle Obama announced...that her family was indeed planning to “adopt a rescue dog,”

And apparently Obama was endorsed by the Humane Society. Cool.
