Note to self: Do not (again!), do NOT return from a week of internet-free vacation and try to read all of your flist for the whole week in one day, because even if you skim over most of it and read only the most interesting entries, by the end of the day there will be madness nibbling at the edges of your reality, not to mention the rather rude urge to drop WTF notes to the most prolific characters on the list. It's called a flist filter, self - use it!
