I’m sitting affront my laptop at 4:30 in the morning, knowing full well that I have work in exactly 2.5 hours. Why am I still up!?

Jet lag.

For some reason, I am having the WORST time getting aclimated back to a normal sleeping schedule in Hawaii. As of my return, I have been COMPLETELY unable to sleep when I should.

I plan to remedy this today. I’m not going to sleep until 8, maybe 9 this evening if I can make it. I will not be screwed over like this my entire time I’m on my compensation time, gunfunit¹!

So now, I waste the hours until I have to work. Thankfully, it will not be a complete work day, because all I must do is check back in. I’m really lucky there won’t be much brain power required of me.

And, because I have nothing else better to do right now, I’m giving you all a lesson in our silly language called English:

What is a homonym, homophone, and homograph? Aren’t they all the same?

No. Here is the breakdown for how they apply to words:

A HomoNYM is the same sound and spelling, different meaning.
(Cleave, to cling. Cleave, to split.)

A HomoPHONE is the same pronunciation, but different spelling.
(To and Two)

A HomoGRAPH is the same spelling, different pronunciation.
(Affect, the noun in Psychology. Affect, the verb in everything else)

And now you know!

^{1 – That’s one word I leaned today; you should be proud Jen.}

Sudden thoughts, second thoughts, and things for a moments thought. Or not.

That’s right, it’s Friday and I’m starting up the weekly DDD. You may cheer now.

I’m oh so very tired because of my lack of sleep… 7-8 hours I tell you, is a good thing. My lemon-lime drink isn’t natural. Got off work early today because we were told we were worthless. I’ve never been so happy to be worthless… I found out my insurance would only rise $20 in conjugation with purchase of a new car. Who said peanuts aren’t space worthy? I may crash early like an old, grumpy, sleepless man. Aside from the old part, it’s all pretty much true. “Natural” shouldn’t have high fructose corn syrup. 21 isn’t old either… YAWN. I like pants. Don’t you think it’s ironic that ‘believe’ has the word ‘lie’ right in the middle of it? LIES!

And that’s all for this weeks Dot Dot Dot.
Goodbye.

Oh my, what an interesting couple of days.

I would first like to point out my usage of footnotes.¹

My first day of work wasn’t the best… It turns out my mind thought it best to go without any sleep and had a fit of insomnia. I was so delusional at work that I made a lobster out of wire and named it Charles.

Charles says hello to you all, and calls the board-o-names home (at work).

Friday night I went to a bachelor’s party for Tom’s² brother. I had a white russian for the first time, which I admit wasn’t all that bad. Then I got into large conversations about religion with drunk people… Always fun!

More interesting, I met a friend of Tom’s named Jen. In fact, I basically met the female version of Tom. Which we are set to go on a photo trip this Sunday.

Sometime between Friday off of work and now… I lost my keys. I don’t know where they could POSSIBLY be. I know for a fact they aren’t locked in my car because you can only lock it from the outside, with the key. And my car is definitely locked.

Side note: I haven’t done a DOT DOT DOT in quite a long time. Should I make it weekly? Monthly? Or some recurring time that isn’t intermittent?

1. Yay! They’re back!
2. A friend of mine. Which has occurred to me probably none of you have heard me talk about… Hmm.
