So Sleeeeeepy ...

And after all that, poor old Cadel did not win the Tour. Sigh.

Before I go to sleep, I am reading today's really, really enjoyable entry in the AS/S fest. Two-thirds of the way in and having a very good time, even if the author infers P.G. Wodehouse was a 19th century writer (young people liking PGW is a good enough thing for me to overlook a few decades between friends). But he or she has one spelling quirk that makes me a little mad.

A pouf is an overstuffed footstool (also spelled pouffe).

A poof is a boy who prefers the shagging of other boys.

Maybe there's a mnemonic there ...

A pouf is where u put your tired and weary feet.
A poof is o my god at the size of your man meat.

I didn't say it would be a good mnemonic. Just thank goodness that's an end to the cycling and tennis for the year, I can get some sleep now. Stupid time zone. I should be much smarter for the rest of the year ;-) Well, except on post-Grand Prix Mondays. Back to the final third, which I imagine will be as good as the first two, spelling aside.

I just finished it, and it was so fucking cute! Not in a bad way... it was utterly delightful.

Yes! I had the feeling that I could cheerfully sit down with that writer and we would get all of each other's jokes.
