ShanMonster on little sleep is a klutzy ShanMonster. Today I dropped two cakes and spilled two double-doubles (minus the coffee, thankfully) on myself.

I'm not usually a clumsy person, but when I'm tired, I move with all the grace of a baby learning to walk.

I remember this one time a few years back when I was suffering from whiplash compounded by a migraine and a terrible head cold. I hadn't been sleeping well because of the pain. I was doing some beadwork, and decided to get up and walk to the other room with my basket of beads. Somehow, I managed to step in my wastepaper basket. I tripped and fell on my back. My feet shot up in the air, showering me with used tissues, and my basket of beads fountained all over me.

For a brief moment, I considered bursting into tears, but then I decided it would be more enjoyable to see the humour in it.

I wish I had a video. I was rolling around on my back, rocking with laughter, covered in snotty paper and seed beads.

So yeah. Nothing that bad happened today....

f00dave and I had our housewarming party last night. Let's see if I can get the attendance roster down pat:

We ate food, played a DVD version of Trivial Pursuit, watched Enter... Zombie King, sampled a horrid Asian beverage (grass jelly drink), and I did a bizarre impromptu dance (fuelled by

snowy_kathryn's very electric jello) to Tina Turner's opening credits of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

We made a video of both the grass jelly and the dance. The former is far more entertaining than the latter. The Mother F*cking Chicken Dance remains my masterpiece. For a while there, I was ranked higher than Paris Hilton on Google Videos Top 100. Go me!

To all those who couldn't make it, I'm sorry you missed out on all the fun. But there will be more shindigs, if I ever get a weekend off again. It looks like I'll be dancing (not chicken dancing) every weekend for the rest of this month....
