Inspiration, unfettered by the need for sleep

Have you ever noticed some of the most interesting and surreal ideas hit you when you're awake at some ungodly hideous hour of the morning? Like between two and four in the morning.

Anyway it seems to work that way for me sometimes. I came up with an idea for an 'solo' post for one of my online RP characters at two AM that I absolutely could NOT get out of my head until I wrote it down. 1060 words of stuff I thought of when I would have rather been sleeping.

Also, my sister bought us a copy of Ponyo. That was awesome. Definite nods to the ORIGINAL little Mermaid myth, including the seafoam thing, but cuter and not tragic. And naturally fifty -thousand- times better than Disney. The only thing that seems to come out of Disney films that I enjoy are insidiously catchy tunes. ((Disney fans, please don't kill me. It's true. I hate Disney.))
I think my favorite character was Fujimoto, though I loved the animation and how much work went into some of the smallest things, like the boy wading into the water.

Lastly: A question. Since I became a mom, I've noticed that complete and utter strangers will ask me if I'm Breastfeeding. ((I'm not going to tell you. Sorry.))
...I really want to know what the hell is up with that. I mean it's one thing for my Pediatrician to know... but strangers at the supermarket??? WHY would you ask that?
I haven't chewed anyone's ear off yet but I actually think it's an insanely rude question, and not really anyone's business.
Although the next time someone reaches into my cart and pulls back my son's hood while he's sleeping, I'm gonna smack some fingers. :p

People really have no concept of personal space these days.

Prime Redirective

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but there's something going on with my blog page, at least on this end. Unless I very hastily log in, it redirects me to random BS pages I don't have the slightest interest in, and I know I'm not clicking anything. ((I'm running a thorough virus check as we speak.))

Is this happening to anyone else?

EDIT: Got it. The stupid hit counter decided to implode.

Mixed Luck, Glitter Sheep and Technobunny

I've had some pretty mixed luck lately, won a couple raffles on GaiaOnline for 'pets' ((basically read: cute animal art for your signature if you've never been on the site.)) Which was pretty cool. Generaly speaking, the laws of probability tend to be against me, no matter how short the raffle list, so winning two in one day was pretty cool.
And it was almost enough to make up for me walking into a metal folding chair in our kitchen. I bruised my toe fairly impressively. It still hurts, but from the look of it it could be lots worse. ((And No I don't think I broke it.))

I'm also most of the way through knitting what I called "Glittersheep", an Fuzzy Mitten Lamb with black yarn and a black and silver strand of Lion Brand's "Midnight Mohair", and a very technicolor bunny made out of Noro Yarn. Given the interruptions I'll probably be done in a couple days.
