Take this from me: sex, drugs and violence won’t get you through a 4 a.m. work frenzy. It’s rock ‘n’ roll that does the trick, or more specifically, German music. The language is close enough to me heart that I feel all warm and fuzzy-like, yet we all do realise I know jackshit not nearly enough German to save me life, so I don’t get overly distracted by the words. Which explains why you can find Weißes Papier, Romantik, Psycho, Die Schönen Rosen and Damals Hinterm Mond – all excellent albums by Element of Crime – rotating on me .mp3 player now.

Of course, now that the midnight marathon magic has lifted the burden of my bludgeoning e-commerce project, I feel all cheery and gay, and so:

Kenny: g’moring! g’morning! heya, howya doing? any pixies and apricots in ya day? may you get pursued by a flower maven and get lilyfied! hey.

And this is what I get for trying to be bright and cheery for once (which, trust me, is not easy, this early in the day):

.

Shwugirl: poor thing, overwork made you delirious?

.

Whatever. Still. Heh.
