I’ve hit that point of sleep deprivation where I’m downright hi-larious. I am also somewhat erratic. I misspoke today and the bout of laughter over “turkey gobble” turned to a sudden bout of tears. For no reason at all. I plan to sleep for most of the weekend. As soon as ice skating is over Saturday I’m falling into a coma. Because next week I’ll have to start this nonsense all over again.

I’ve wanted a Star Trek uniform dress for about 20 years. I finally bought one. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way I seem to have lost my com badge. This makes me sad. I got it in Vegas years ago at Star Trek Experience, which is no longer there. That also makes me sad. Sigh. Anyway, the quote is Odo from Deep Space Nine, my favorite Star Trek franchise. Fox used to run it every Friday followed by M.A.S.H. I used to go to my friend Sarah’s apartment where we’d watch both and smoke too many cigarettes. Kind of seems like a lifetime ago, now.
