You can put me down for a “maybe”, and a “probably not” for the BF. He has to wake up super early these days, and I stayed up late last night because I had no class this morning. So we might make it a night at home, but we’ll see for sure when he gets off work. ---

After a day trapped in an Eastside office park, I’ll really want some beer. So count me in. ---

I’m sick as a dog. Started going downhill yesterday and woke up this morning feeling like twenty pounds of hamburger left unrefrigerated on the counter for three days and then used to make meatballs rolled in kitty litter, and deep-fried in motor oil, the which were then trampled by a herd of consumptive yaks. Baffling metaphor brought to you by too much Nyquil. Mmm, too much Nyquil. If I can somehow get un-dog-like by the evening, I’ll be there. But don’t hold your breath. Actually, _do_ hold your breath, because I’m pretty sure I’m highly contagious. And don’t touch me, either. ---

I’m out - see you next week. ---

It’s looking ever less likely that I’m going to be there. Not only am I not becoming un-dog-like, it feels like I have hundreds of tiny little clawed paws trying to dig my trachea out of my chest from the inside. But: > [@inkysplotchy](#): > > What about our tradition of French kissing after every correct answer? Are we just throwing that out the window? I will see about having a cardboard standup figure delivered to take my place. Feel free to cut out the mouth and French away. ---

> [@inkysplotchy](#): > > What about our tradition of French kissing after every correct answer? Are we just throwing that out the window? Probably not a good idea, in **Cervaise** ’s condition. However, I think you guys can continue your tradition of celebratory under-the-table handjobs – that’s not too germy. ---

Please do stay away, and I hope you feel better soon! ---

Bump. I’m feeling better, so, aside from the handjobs, what’s the plan for tonight? ---

I’m planning to be there. And! The child slept through the night last night, so I got 8 hours of sleep! I will be on FIRE! One night is enough to recover from 15 months’ worth of sleep deprivation, right? So my brain is back to normal, now, yes? ---

I shall also be there, more to watch **Stargazer** be _en fuego_ than anything else. ---

I’ll be there, even though **stargazer** got more sleep than I did. ---

I’m afraid I’m out. I’ve gotten a tad behind, and don’t want to have anything hanging over my head going into next week’s holiday. ---

There is, by the way, a beer question at Seattlest. So if you want a free pitcher, head on over and figure it out. ---

I’m in tonight – **inkysplotchy** is hosting, and I’m providing him the audio cable. Did I spoil something? Anyway, expect me. Anyone else?
