The clock in our family room stopped at about 8:44.  Whether that was 8:44 PM tonight, 8:44 AM this morning, or sometime yesterday, I’m not sure.

But it’s very disorienting.  Especially when you spend all night watching the final few episodes of season 3 of The Office only to find that somehow time has managed to stand still.

It’s odd, because watching episodes of The Office always feels so quick anyway.  An episode will breeze by before any time at all has passed, so I wasn’t too surprised to look up and see that it was not yet 9 PM.

Except that the new Woot item had been posted.  And my stomach was hungry.  And Brian, who has a young daughter, was on his Xbox playing Batman.  All of which would have been impossible had it only truly been 8:44, except for me being hungry.

So, I’ll need to put a new battery in our clock and get Katie some Coco Puffs.  The Coco Puffs aren’t really related except that they, too, are timeless.
