The early bird needs a nap

As usual, my circadian rhythm is all out of whack. I yawn as I type this and yet none of my attempts at napping so far have yielded successful sleep. My sleep schedule as of now is pretty much I sleep when I'm physically tired enough that I fall asleep, not the healthiest of routines. I'd like to think my night work schedule isn't at fault but I'm suspect that it's a likely culpurit. Granted, I did work 40 hours last week, seeing how it was back to school week and Target's peak in terms of sales. Oh the joy of living in a college town.

It surely doesn't help that I'm in dire need of a new air mattress as the one I currently sleep on has lost all ability to retain air in it and has accrued the nasty habit of deflating overnight. Literally overnight the act of sleeping turns to sinking.

So, some random thoughts while I wait to drop dead from exhaustion.

Strawberry Soda for some reason just isn't that tasty. Everyone knows I have a love affair with any and all edible foods that are strawberry flavored or what not. Yet for some reason, the deliciousness of strawberries do not transfer when placed in liquid form. It is puzzling and yet for whatever reason I've had less than stellar impressions of strawberry teas and strawberry soda. Yet this is not the case with other fruits such as oranges and grape. Oh no, those flavors are a whole different ball game. Then again, when combined with bananas or kiwi, liquid strawberry flavoring seems to work. Truly one of life's great mysteries...

For someone who's as dexterous and agile as I am, I sure have difficulty drinking and walking at the same time.

It's crazy how many of my friends I've ran into during the first two days of school. It's a nice feeling that reminds me that I'm not so lonely as I make myself out to be at times.

I don't know why but Kaye isn't answering her phone, I'm worried if she's alright. That and I just want to talk to her in general. She owes me a vacation after all.

I am addicted to Facebook. It's somewhat sad really how much time I've spent on it recently. I'm not sure what's more depressing about it, the time I spend waiting for some action from my friends or the time I spend playing all the silly facebook games that I've become addicted to in recent weeks. But man, building up my own wrestler and superhero is like crack for me for some reason.

Cloud Cult is coming to Colorado. A band that Nate got me hooked on. Quite awesome, kind of Postal Service-y in terms of sound I guess? They're playing a show in Fort Collins in like two weeks, which is a lot sooner than I was thinking it'd be. I intend to go of course, shame Nate's in Germany, he'd of loved to have seen them live. I know Spencer's trying to go but I'm not sure how he'll be able to pull that off since it's on a Thursday night and he likely has school the following Friday. I wonder who else would like to go, not too many of my friends know of them but considering tickets are only like 8 dollars it'd be a cool gig to see none the less. Maybe I could get that cute neighbor of Kristina's to come w/ me. Hmmm....

My eyes hurt...I wish sleep was optional.

Finally bit the bullet and got internet and cable hooked up in my apartment. The good news means that I don't have to rely on hijacking the weak wireless signals of my neighbors any more. The bad news is that I pay for it now and that my computer's harddrive space has been completely depleted with porn, videogames, movies, and music...but mostly porn.

Downloaded some Batman comics, spurred on by the Dark Knight. Just finished Batman Nine Lives, an elseworlds comic (which is DC's fancy way of saying reimagination or alternate universe or noncanon) that transports Batman and his rogues gallery and reinterprets them in a noir genre to amazing effect actually. Good read.

Lastest VGCats comic is hilarious (even if it's technically a guest comic). "I showed her my metal gear. It is solid." Classic.

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is just about the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Vending machines refuse to give you back your two dollars, especially when they're sold out of the strawberry kiwi minute maid you originally wanted and have to settle for lipton's diet green tea, which in itself wasn't too bad.

I'm tired.
