It's 11:13pm. Do you know where your bills are?
I am sitting on the Senate floor, as Senators rush to pass bills before a midnight deadline. It's almost midnight and they have 54 to go.

In my right ear I am listening to the live stream of action on the House floor. It sits just 100 yards away, but a girl can only be in one chamber at a time. So I'm listening to both at the same time, which is like listening to a painfully bad fugue. J.S. Bach wouldn't write this shit, that's for sure.

Right ear, the House: "Some people, or the appraisal districts, are, interpreting that a little differently..."
Left ear, the Senate: [gavel SLAMS!] Senate bill 1250 is finally passed.
House: Following amendment, clerk will read the amendment
Senate: You've heard the motion by Senator Hinojosa
House: Mr Coleman, following amendment, clerk will read the amendment...
Senate: Is there objection? Senator Hinojosa moves passage to engrossment, Senator Hinojosa moves to suspend the parliamentary rule...

I am about to lose my friggin' mind.
