Daylight savings time and Simpsons thoughts... 



So who was an hour early to work today? Well, just me since I work on Sundays.

I remember getting a little wonky from DST when I was younger, but this one definitely threw me a curveball.

Even though I totally forgot about DST, I still had a dream about it. That is definitely weird. I was trying to find out what time it really was. This may be partially credited to my clocks in my house, where some are set as much as 40 minutes ahead to force me to think that I'm late, and that forces me to question the time a lot. I think I was at a train station, and since the staff knew people would have time issues (especially with a train station schedule), they were prepared for these queries. They were prepared with little items that I thought would remind me exactly what time it was.

In fact, those items they had were simply a soft white thing about the size of my arm, with divisions marked Mon/Tues/Wed/etc. The Sunday mark was illuminated, saying that the day as Sunday. I thought "This is absolutely retarded -- I don't know what time it is, not what day it is."

So I looked up at the clock -- because a clock at a train station is absolute canon. I see a clock, and see it is 3 or 4 hours ahead of what I thought it was. This totally freaked me out, but then I realized that there was a label under it that said Berlin. Apparently it's one of those train stations with times in all different time zones, but this one only had one.

It was definitely a weird dream.



I watched of Simpsons where Krusty the clown is framed for robbery.

There some pretty funny things I didn't notice. Krust makes a drink with seltzer, but he uses his spray seltzer (as a clown). When Homer is ready to see the lineup to point out Krusty, Chief Wiggum says "Send in the Clowns," which is a song/movie line or something.

Homer laughs his butt off at the lineup (full of clowns). He laughs then says "if the crime is 'making me laugh,' they're all guilty!"

It was a cool old episode where Bart's devotion for Krusty is pure and innocent. The Church has a burning of all Krusty merchandise in an odd manner. Bart goes to Krusty and says "Say it ain't so Krusty," reminiscent of The Natural.

Sideshow Bob's final words: "Treat kids as equals. They're people. They're smarter than you think. They were smart enough to catch me!"
