Why your body jerks before you fall asleep
Today in “Things you’ve always wondered but never thought to ask at the right time”.
I have kicked the sheets clean off my bed before. I’ve smacked my wife in the head and I’ve sent my dog flying. All because of involuntary jerks at the brink of slumber. Scientists think it’s the result of the final moments of a battle between your sleep and waking cycles.
Deep in the core of our brain, a region called the reticular activating system controls our feeling “awake”. Elsewhere, near the point where the nerves from the eyes cross inside your head, the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus senses the cycles of light and dark and shifts our brain to a deep sleep mode.
As your waking motor system teeters on the brink of control at that point just before the VLPO takes over, WHAM, KICK whatthehell?!
Now you know. Sleep tight.

“I like that I stick out. I was watching ‘Valentine’s Day’ on the plane recently. I have a tiny part in that movie. I was watching all the women — Jessica Biel, and Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts. They are gorgeous women, and I don’t want to take anything away from them, but they all do have a very classical look, with a very thin nose. I’m watching this parade of these faces and then, boom, it was my face, and I was taken aback. I was like, ‘Oh, my nose is so big!’ I have never in my life thought I had a big nose, but, well, there it was. The first time I was on TV, on ‘Flight of the Conchords,’ someone put up a YouTube clip and said, ‘You’re too ugly to be on TV.’ And I was like, ‘That is exactly why it’s a good thing that I’m on TV.’”

…the number of smoots that make up the length of the sidewalk mural I’ve been commissioned to create.
That’s 846.94 feet of DC sidewalk…and zebra crossing…right behind the Capitol that will be decorated with some sort of Follow This Path Of Magical Art To Get From The Wedding To The Reception.
It’s funny how I meant for international relationey things to be my profession and artsy things to be barely a side project, but in practice it’s the other way round.
How the hell am I going to do this?
I made myself a present to deal with the fact that it was time to give Little Brother a graduation present already.

The ceiling? Specifically some sort of beige tile to which I’ve tacked orange and yellow gradient mesh.

Beautiful destruction.

I really like the idea of Esperanto until I realize it’s Eurocentric.
But…
I don’t know.
I think it’s going in the same category as “Adverbs.”
