I like this word

[kismet09]

This going to bed at 10:30 business means I'm wide awake before sunrise. Unacceptable. I tried to stay in bed, but I had one line from one song ("...beaten into submission in the name of the free"), so that, too, was unacceptable, and here I am, steeling myself for getting into the shower in this chilly house. My brain alternates, in the early morning, between singing songs to me, thinking about work, and designing the new house.

The Braingle word of the day is ex-cur-sive :: adj

Constituting a digression or characterized by digression.

I, too, have a single line from a song stuck in my head today. What makes it worse is that it's from a song I haven't heard since probably 1991.

If Jesse don't like it, it don't stay;
get it out of the museum, get it out of there today

I didn't even know who sang it until I just Googled it -- turns out it's Loudon Wainwright!

Oh, that's two lines. But you know what I mean.

It was apparently afflicting the household today. I was wide awake at 2:30 sure that it was really 5. I stayed awake for about an hour thinking about Nick's class.

Then at 4:30 I was back awake and couldn't fall asleep again. I sucked it up and got out of bed at 5. Mostly so I could write the assignments that I'd dreamed up in my head. No good at all.

But hey, it is an Indigo Girls line so can it really be all that bad?

True -- it led me to listen to IG stuff all morning, which makes for a nice morning.
