Things that make me happy, take two

[hawkwing_lb]

1. Criminal Minds DVDs! Again! Still! Forever!

...Ahem. Moving on.

2. Stew. How a plate of potatoes and beef and carrots can be so satisfying and tasty and comforting all at once, I don't know. But it does.

3. Spartan Women by Sarah B. Pomeroy. Lucid academic discussion! Clear and readable prose! Footnotes!

4. Bank Holidays. A wonder of the modern world.

5. Did I mention the Criminal Minds DVDs?

And I have a small amount of Green and Blacks' dark chocolate, and I don't have to get up till a civilised hour tomorrow, and the clocks go back tonight. Midnight happens twice, and I get an extra hour's sleep.

Good days.

They should do this clocks back thing more often... maybe twelve times a year :)

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

Twenty-four.

Because otherwise, we'd have to put them forward twelve times to make it all work out right. *shudder*

::climbs onto soapbox:: harrupmh. Is this thing on?

I ask you, WHY in the world do we have to move the clocks in the first place? I mean, if you all want to get up an hour earlier in the summer, or an hour later in the winter, fine. Just don't make me change my schedule to suit your needs. It aggravates me no end that our governments see fit to cut off one end of the blanket and re-sew it on the other end; to wit, the day length changes not one whit despite all their machinations. However, everyone's sleep cycle is needlessly disrupted, causing all sorts of mishaps, accidents, and unnecessary losses. Sleep disruption is one of the factors in many industrial accidents, battlefield casualties, and car crashes. Sleep deprivation is as dangerous as being under the influence of alcohol and drugs -- yet here's the government deliberately causing people to be sleep deprived!

::steps down off soapbox::

That's always on my mind at this time of year -- and even more so in the spring when we lose an hour. I boycott the spring shift for as long as I can, dammit. Got any more of that chocolate?

;-)

It is a little bit pointless, yes. But! Two midnights! :)

Oddly enough, our programs (computer chips and radio signal-acquired clocks) are all switched now. They didn't get the Congressional memo about waiting one week. :-P

*Is now smarter than the computer*

Or maybe the computer is smart enough to ignore its memos when it doesn't like them. True AI. :P

Sorry. :P

Nah, you just keep going for two years and it'll all be back where it started. :)

Point. Definite point. :)
