Living on another planet for a bit would be nice

I would just like to say that whoever was responsible for the decision upon Earth's internationally agreed 24-hour day was a bloody incompetent. It simply isn't sufficient. The moment they sort out intergalactic travel (NASA dudes - please hurry up) I will be on the first flight out to a more sensible planet. In an infinite universe, Shirley there must be a globe somewhere in our relative vicinity which is equally suited to human life but where days last, say, 28 hours or so. If so I will move there as soon as possible. I am fed up of staying up until 5 in the morning, then trying to catch some sleep, then waking up only to discover that half the day has already gone, meaning I have to scrap half the things I was supposed to do, and then almost inevitably have to deal with someone somewhere who is pissed off for some unknown reason. It's just an unsatisfactory state of affairs and I intend to put an end to it if at all possible. I would be a much more efficient person if I could work all night then still have enough time to sleep before the morning.

Can I just point out to anyone who has ever been annoyed at me for being lazy - getting up at noon is not lazy if you only got to sleep at 7.

On a not completely unrelated subject, I do not recommend starting your Wednesday with four hours of champagne, vodka, and various beers followed by a walk from Montmartre across Paris to your home in the twentieth (where you promptly find your kitties fighting. ) As an upstanding citizen, I have put myself through this situation and tried these things out with you, the reader, in mind. And I can say: don't do it, kids!

Kitties have now curled up together in a picture of horrific cuteness which I absolutely refuse to post.
