The strangest thing happened last night…I went to bed relatively early (10:30), utterly spent by my slightly bizarre Christmas celebrating (when was the last time YOU ran around high on Christmas night?), and then woke up for no explainable reason at 1:45am, wide awake. I finally decided it was pointless to lay in bed, so I got up and wrote for a couple hours and returned to bed at 4:30. Very strange. Now I’m tired and groggy. Good thing I’m NOT WORKING this week. Grumble.

In other news, read about “Neuticles,” the fake animal testicles, and the man who wants to one for himself. Thanks to Danelope for the story.

For those of you who watch this page carefuly, you may notice that I’ve switched webcounters. I was up to 420 hits (since Nov. 4, 2000) according to Webtracker, but Webtracker sucked–very limited information. I like this new counter much better. Just click on the little zigzaggy icon at the bottom of the left column.
