Don’t ask why I’m up so early; I don’t want to think about it myself, and as soon as I can rectify the situation I will be back to bed.
Meanwhile, as long as I was up anyway, I figured I might as well launch the opening salvo in the new Examiner temporal anomalies series on Terminator, so I’ve already posted Terminator part 1: a starting point. I took a huge chunk of Saturday to finish the series and clean up most of it, which has reduced my stress level significantly now that it’s mostly complete.
The new article uses information from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines to reconstruct what must have been the original history before SkyNet and the resistance started tossing changes into the past. As such, I expect I’ll get hit by the fixed time crowd soon enough–but the series anticipates that, so perhaps it won’t be too bad an attack.
So enjoy the article while I try to deal with that which has me awake so I can return to sleep, and I will be back later to see what people think and think what people see.

I was up when you posted this, except in my case it wasn’t up early, it was up late.

Yeah, well–it’s an hour earlier for you, and I’ve been up that late more than once myself.
But maybe you’ll enjoy the new Terminator series.

No MJ, we’re actually in the same time zone. And I don’t have a schedule. I sleep when I’m tired.
