Narcolepsy is Hot

Yesterday I fell asleep, abruptly, while calling Puppy to come. She's hard to get out of bed, and often requires a good, stern command for her to get up and come to me... sometimes repeated. (Yes, I know. I'm a deficient pup parent.)

So I gave her the command and waited for her to come, and the next I knew, she was curled back up a micrometre closer than she was before, and to my surprise I realized that I'd fallen asleep for a few seconds.

While this might be helpful at cocktail parties - I could do this while boring people drone on, use it to keep up my energy for the fun bits - it's a really strange and unnerving effect of three of the drugs I take for pain and muscle spasms.

Not to mention it undermines my pet parenting.

Wierd Spider Sternum Tech

Does this look like a sternum to anyone else? Huffington Post tells me it's supposed to be a Breffo Spider PodiumTablet, but to me, it looks like the front part of a ribcage with an ipod dock in the business end.

Usually I like this sort of thing, but this is just creepy. It makes me wonder if the next wave of steampunk-like fervor will be bonepunk... technology and bodies, fused in strange concoctions like this one.
