A baby monotreme -- echidnas or platypi -- is known as a "puggle." *

This is possibly one of the cutest words in existence.*


Am feeling quite exhausted for no general reason. All I can think is *sleeeep*. Yesterday it was quite the same. I even went to far as to fall asleep in the pm hours, rather than am. That is scary.

I did, however, manage to watch 4 eps of Lost, thanks to co-worker Victor, who finally remembered to lend me his disc.

I also forced myself to write a few hundred words of the latest scene for the Jayne-fic. Not so good, considering the main point of the scene is Floyd talking to various people at bars and Floyd hasn't yet set foot in a bar. Curséd details, that their presence be so strong! (Or something much more Shakespeare-ly than that. Sleepy, remember?)

There's nothing to do at work, so I've been scouring ursulav's Metal and Magic art gallery. It's beautiful! Some art work was so cute that it actually made me laugh out loud (lol of you internetters). (Her little backstories are also greatly amusing.) My favorite sections are the anthropomorphic and Random Moments galleries.

I was shocked to find that the famous Sock Puppet was hers, as was the basis for the "Whine" icon. And, yes, she also made the Blackbeard's Rugged Tampons add. Hi-larious, folks.
