More sleep-disruption blogging!

I woke up at 3:55 AM this morning from a dream that I was organizing and putting out the food for a Storyreading reunion potluck, taking care of a small child with very messy diapers, and trying to stay out of my former partner's way so he could enjoy the reunion too instead of looking uncomfortable whenever I went near him (because I sure felt uncomfortable, too.)

I woke up worrying about the workshop I'm giving next month, that I haven't done much work on recently. And how I really need to have some test slides soon, and figure out some handouts so they can be emailed to the participants in advance. I should start on it this weekend if I'm having stress dreams about it.

So I woke up, played on the internet, talked to [livejournal.com profile] r_ness a bit (thanks, man!), and wrote back to the people who need the slides and the handouts to say when I was hoping to deliver them.

Then I fell back asleep around 5:15 and dreamed for the next 2.5 hours about being at a conference to give a workshop and not having my lesson plan done in time.

I guess I better get going on my workshop, if I want to get any sleep! It's going fine, but my brain wants it done _now_. Silly brain. Silly endocrine system.

Petty complaints and white whines

I would like to complain that Wikipedia has an article about hirsuties papillaris genitalis, but it does not have an article about vestibular papillae. OVERT SEXISM. I DEMAND THAT THIS BE RECTIFIED. BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS MORE ABOUT IT THAN I DO.

If you're brave and somewhere you can look at medical images of naughty bits, go look up that article. My first thought was "that must scare teenagers who get it half to death, thinking it's some horrible disease." My second thought was, "And how much do people spend on condoms that have texture, to simulate effects like that?"

Yeah.

And to think that I got there from looking up side effects of propylthiouracil and methimazole. Science is beautiful.
