A series of unfortunate events

You know what sucks? Getting only two hours of sleep.

You know what sucks more? Getting only two hours sleep, and then having to wake up and go to work for nine hours.

You know what sucks even more? Getting only two hours sleep, then having having to wake up and go to work for nine hours, and the power goes out while you're getting ready.

You know what sucks most of all? Getting only two hours sleep, then having to wake up and go to work for nine hours, and the power goes out while you're in the shower.

ARRGH!

In more pleasant news, there's a new feature around here I'd like to tell you about: the countdown. (Fanfare) If you look to your right, you should see a rather unflattering picture of Andy Pettitte along with a countdown timer to the start of the first Astros game this season. (The photo of Pettitte says everything about my expectations of the Astros' performance this year, but anyway...) I'll be using the countdown to keep track of whatever I'm most looking forward to (or dreading, as the case may be) at any given time. Right now, it's baseball season.
