That helped.

Last evening I'm falling asleep in from to the tube around five-ish. Tell Kirsten I'm going to take "a nap."

Finally get out of bed at 0620 this morning. A thirteen-hour nap. Pretty good for me! The only drawback is the headache from too much sleep!

I had one really weird dream. I was in Mexico, trying to get back to the US border, and being chased by the federales (you know, the mounted police) and the Mexican Army. I was on a horse, wearing a six shooter. Strange.

Scientists have discovered that billions of Argentine ants living in Western Europe from millions of different nests are actually part of one gi-ant colony. Read all about it!

Kirsten installed Trillian for me, and there it sits, mocking me. The help file isn't too helpful. I think I'll need Kiri to actually teach me how to use this thing.

OK, I figured it out

Trillian is no longer such a mystery. Thanks to everyone who walked me through it.
