I've had some pretty fucked up sleep cycles lately, but in the opposite direction. In the space of about a week I went from going to sleep at 4AM to waking up at 4AM. It's a bit jarring. I think the first and most jarring change was triggered by travel across more than 8 time-zones. However, I have managed to induce something that seems similar through self-medication with caffeine and alcohol. Drink coffee/tea at regular intervals throughout the day. If you can manage it, have an early dinner with alcohol (for me, wine works best for some reason). I wasn't watching for it at the time, but I think I was still good to drive by the end of my drinks. The extra stress from using the caffeine and my withdrawal from it put me hard to sleep for nearly 10 hours.

The principle seems sound, but it's been untested and I hadn't had a drink of coffee for several weeks when it happened. The cafe-con I had managed to put me a bit on edge.

Summer bugs. I have no idea which of the microscopic fuckers got me or when, but I managed to figure out where after my one foot swelled up like a Battletoad ending a combo and I scratched the hell out of my ankle until something bled.

Biters the size of your hand? Easy to detect, easy to smack. It's the little fly-sized ones that give me grief, days after the fact.

I have a similar sleep schedule of go to bed anywhere from 4-6 and waking at 2. On the one hand, I like being up that late, and on the other hand, it sucks if I want to get anything done during regular-people hours.

I'm prepetually screwed, since my body wants a day that is approximately 26 hours.

My body wishes desperately for that as well.

I've recently discovered that I am truly annoyed by any non-facetious hypocrisy. The downside to this is that I know myself to be hypocritical about some things, leading me further into a cycle that makes me hate everything ever a little more.

I want to meet a person who actually enjoys hypocrisy. I think that person would be my best friend, and everybody else's.

The fun part is when you graduate and enter work and you have to work regular-people hours

I thought you came up with the same workaround for that that I did.

NOW I HAVE ALL 16 15 HOURS OF WAKEFULNESS TO DO STUFF.

IMAGINE ALL I COULD DO WITH IT.

Keeping odd hours, and scrambling for whatever PHP work hasn't outsourced itself to India?

Yeah, that one.

The one that's actually making me happy something I wrote broke horribly and I have to spend this whole weekend fixing it.

I'm tired of the word "bokeh". Bokeh is the shape that out-of-focus parts of a photograph take on. The form of the blur so to speak. Unfortunately, amateur photographers pick up on the word and use it to describe any scene that has out of focus parts to so they can act like they know what the shit they're talking about. It drives me nuts.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #1114 on:** July 21, 2009, 06:01:17 PM »

That's totally bokeh

Apparently the only place in our house where we can put the cats' litter box is directly outside my fucking door. So my room regularly smells like cat shit.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1116 on:** July 21, 2009, 07:00:03 PM »

Uh... I hate to break it to you Fred, but the room you'll be staying in here has the catbox too (our living and dining room are part of a large shared space... which is the only place avilable for guests to bed down). The only place we had to put the catbox was in the far corner of the dining room, squirreled away behind a shelving unit.

However this isn't as bad as it sounds - it never seems to bug anyone who comes over. And regardless, not only do we clean it regularly, we will probably do so twice as often over that weekend in consideration of the fact that people are actually going to have to sleep here.

Hm. A "PET SHIT PEEVE," eh?

Those stupid big square sunglasses that girls wear when they think they're hot. they're not hot sunglasses they are ugly sunglasses.
