Let me preface the following with two notes of caution.

CAUTION: SLEEP DEPRIVED WRITER. Tends to produce verbosity of a Lewis Carroll Jabberwokian bent.

CAUTION: SLEEP DEPRIVED WRITER WHO HAS HAD OVER THE HEDGE ON CONSTANTLY IN THE BACKGROUND FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS. May cause infestation of writing circuits and channeling of characters from Over The Hedge, notably the Possum dad and Hammy. (For those who haven't seen the movie, respectively overplayed with intent by William Shatner and a child-like hyperactive squirrel.)

I have a new blankie. It's getting cold so I got a new blankie. The old blankie was getting manky. It got rained on and somebody sort of poured some mocha on it sometime an... an... I think a cat might have peed on it. So I got a new blankie.

It's a nice blankie. It's got a funny pattern on it like little dots an... an... it's called an "ACU digital pattern camouflage poncho liner" an... an... it's snuggly an... it's warm.

An I got new gloves, too. Two kinds! I got one kind that's kinda like a... a... a... tube with a little thumb-hole thingy an it's this cute brown color like... like... sand sort of. They say... "Polartec Desert Sand wristies" on the package. Wristies. That's cute! An I got two gloves that are black an... an... they got this neato symbol on them like two "u"s, one right-side up and the other upside down. It's cute, too. They're called..."Underarmor Tactical Release" gloves and they've got sparkly stuff on the palm!

An... an I got a new jacket! It's got a dinosaur on it!

An new snuggly-wuggly pants made by Marmots!

Air! Growing! Cold! Limbs! Trembling! Light! Fading! ROOOOOSEBUUUUD...

Given that it's going to be 30 degrees tonight, I'm going to need every flipping stitch!
:-)

And I suspect the next section of the book is going to be a tad bizarre. Maybe I'll just pick the bizarre section to write tonight. I think I've figured out how to get the whole "anime zone" thing to work.
:-)

Oh, yeah. Heh. Yeah. That will work. And that's gonna work. Oh, man. Oh... that's gonna suck. Those poor characters...

Sorry, did I say that out loud?
