I don't know how I managed to miss _Good Omens_ by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I'm listening to it now, in the car, and I've almost had to pull over because I was laughing so hard.

A couple of people have asked for a transcription of this song. There are several versions but this is how I sing it ( Read more... )

I don't so much mind not being able to sleep. I feel fine during the day. I get my laundry done, etc., etc. But I miss Mary a lot when I can't sleep. She was a night owl too. If we couldn't be together, we talked on the phone or texted. Since I live in deepest suburbia, there's no late night community here.
