Idiot! (ala Napoleon Dynamite)

Excuse me for being a total idiot today. My lack of sleep has caused me to do a few seriously stupid things.

1. Rubbing hands vigorously with soap under the faucet IN WHICH I'D FORGOTTEN TO TURN ON THE WATER.

2. Putting the kettle on for a cup of tea and mistaking the whistle for a fire truck. I must have been looking out the window for a burning building for a good 60 seconds before it dawned on me. Thank goodness I didn't actually have to call the fire department for starting a real fire with my tea kettle.

3. Replying to Washington Cube's comment about my accent and asking "How did you find my blog?" Cube is a contributor to DCBlogs and politely responded: I found you via the DC Blogs Live Feed that renews every half hour with a list of participants and their blogs, of which you are one. I can only hope she doesn't read this; surely it will make me seem all the more idiotic.


I feel like I've been up for twenty minutes, but really it's been more like twenty hours. Whether it be the paddy-wagon or Calgon, somebody take me away. Protect me from myself.
