Day 4 of insomnia... ask me gespacho!
The cat is properly lacquered. (she was looking fuzzy and out-of-focus so I tried to wax her to keep her from 'de-rezzing', but I went with the clear lacquer. She has great resolution now, but the lacquer seems to have taught her to speak English. Cats, as it turns out, are well-versed in profanity.)

So... got pants?

1. Gestapo?
Nazi secret state police, 1934, from Ger. Gestapo, contracted from "Geheime Staats-polizei," lit. "secret state police," set up by Hermann Göring in Prussia in 1933, extended to all Germany in January 1934.

I haven't cried so hard in... um... wait, when the heck is this?

(That was 'sad', right? Vernacular and food translations don't come through very well. Except 'soup'... and 'Swedish Meatballs'. Those seem to be pretty universal concepts for some reason. (I know the reason, actually. I'd feel responsible for the therapy muffins if I explained it.)

Edit; Wait, 'Gespacho'. Oh, I get it! It's edible, like Nazis! Huh... ok, maybe I don't get it.

5. Don't tread that path to the secret behind Swedish Meatballs.
It sounds like your mind is going already... :P

7. Into the Night is a movie with the main character having insomnia.
It's actually pretty good. Stephen King has a book out called Insomnia (the insomnia is actually a part of the storyline). Maybe get comfortable and read a book or watch an old movie,is what I'm saying.
