    Guten Morgen, my friends.


    I'm about to head out to do some grocery shopping before the football games start up (GO BUCKEYES) and I just thought I'd pop in to see about the possibility of starting up a SMFF. Any takers? Maybe a SAFF?


    Here's a little some'n some'n to get things started.

    Soooo I just spent forever on YouTube looking for the good version of "Caroline Says II." However, I have now realized that what I believed was the good version of "Caroline Says II" is in fact "Stephanie Says."


    This should've been in a Palin post.

    I've heard tell her last album was quite good, but I ain't heard it. I mean, regardless of what people were saying, I sort of subconsciously assumed she was singing about liking soup, I figure.


    She toured, maybe last year it was, and I missed it and am kicking myself to this day.

    @poisonville: I don't like sleeping pills. Ambien and the like do weird shit. I too have had lifelong insomnia, and I find that a low dose of benzos (xanax, klonopin, etc) a while before bed stops the restlessness enough that I can essentially get to sleep myself. This is serious advice, btw. Failing that, benadryl!

    I think the only meds I could actually qualify for are the ones to treat OCD, and even that's pushing it. I thought I outgrew it, but now I'm not so sure. I'm not talking OCD as in "anal retentive." I'm talking OCD like reading every fourth line of a book 16 times, which I did as a child.

I had some pretty crazy habits involving counting as a child, but as an adult I have a pretty innate sense for space and math, which I attribute to spending so much time thinking about squares and cubes and infinite patterns. Our habits shape us in strange ways. Now I'm a geographer of sorts.
