Ok, so, now for some disparaging remarks… the site i just mentioned embodies all that is really dumb and childish in e/n. The first post i read was about getting drunk, the second was about rolling a blunt, and then there was a link to some porn. Apparently these dudes were fans of I-O, which i can respect, but i am certainly not going to like their idiot cult of neon and whored out link-space just because i was in love with I-O.

Dude, i was just invited to post over at PimpBud.com. I dunno if this is because i asked to be invited to post other places when i quit Shafted, or because i intermittently mention getting drunk in the blog, or because he came across Uprush.org. Either way, i’m a little scared, but i’m gonna check his page out before making any disparaging remarks.

There’s a quarter in my toilet. Don’t ask me how it got in there, but now every time i flush i can hear it dance across the underwater porcelain and come to a rest just barely out of site. It’s annoying the hell out of me, but there’s no way i’m reaching into the toilet up to my elbow to retrieve a stupid quarter. I’ll work up a system with pulleys and magnets before i do that…

Meanwhile, in an effort to make sure that i do some actual work this weekend, i just totally disabled my guitar. That’s right, i cut off all six strings, wiped it down, and put it away without strings on it. It takes me forever to restring my guitar, which means i won’t even try to touch it this weekend. Sadly, that probably means no Trio. However, i do have three papers to write, so maybe it’s for the best.

What i just awoke from was not sleep: it was hibernation. I had been running low on energy all week, but a fitful Wednesday 12-hour night left me refreshed on Thursday morning for class and work. Friday found me a bit sleepy, but still alert enough to contend with all of my classes (something i couldn’t say for myself on Wednesday). After my last class i stopped by Mad Greek’s to get a Chicken Cheesesteak (which very well might become a weekly tradition; last Friday i had a chicken sandwich there with laurel), inhaled it while reading the newspaper, and then headed back here. I made the few posts that you see underneath this one, and then decided to head into the bedroom for a nap. That was 6:30pm
That nap lasted until 8am this morning, when i got up to make sure that my bladder didn’t explode. After using the bathroom, i took a peek into the living room to see that it was exactly as i left it; matt hadn’t come back from the lab. I headed back to the bedroom, considered how much blogging i could get done if i started at 8am, and then laid back down to get another hour or two of sleep.
That hour or two lasted until 1:30pm. I slept for 19 hours straight; longer than most people stay awake on most days. Even more amazing, this means i only spent 10 hours awake yesterday… surely not enough to tire me out that much!
And now? I’m wide awake, and raring to go.
