You know when it's the fall TV season in the US because...

....it takes forever to log into your favourite torrent site because it's so bloomin' busy.

*glares at torrent site*

In other news, I've been cranky all day. It's either PMS, or caused by the fact that I didn't wake up to my alarm clock this morning but to the sound of the torrential rain thudding off my bedroom window. Foolishly, I didn't bother to check the time, just hit snooze and went back to sleep. *sighs* 8.40am I finally surfaced!

Where, oh flist, do we get the phrase "got out of bed the wrong side" anyway?

Evil spirits were thought to lurk on the left side of one's bed. If you got out on that side of the bed, and stepped on them, they were said to get angry and essentially turn your day to crap. Or that's the best I can remember, anyway.

I wonder what it was with Romans and left. It was considered good luck to enter the dining room with the left foot first. Possibly because you kick the bad spirits out of the way. But then why is that better than stepping on them... :S

Well this explains a lot - I get out of the left side of the bed every day! Course, there's a wall on the right side. Mebbe I should re-arrange my room, I might be less grumpy in the mornings :)

Hey... I just realized I get up on the left side of the bed every day! I should be way grumpier than I am.
