How to not to take care of yourself.

My eating and sleeping habits in 24-hours of late

5:45 alarm goes off, start playing snooze-tag
6:15 actually get up
6:17 make and drink quadruple iced mocha, on particularly rough mornings or if I'm stuffed up I'll have some ephedrine with this
7:10 smoke on the way to the bus (not every day, about twice a week)
8:15 first coffee at work and plunk down in front of computer
9:00 second coffee
9:30 third coffee
10:15 fourth coffee
11:30 fifth coffee
12:00 microwave popcorn and sixth coffee
1:30 seventh coffee
2:45 eighth coffee
4:00 leave computer
5:00 get home, hang with kids
6:00 dinner, usually with Kool-aid or cola
7:00 help get the kids started to going to bed
7:30 retreat to basement and plunk down in front of computer to work some more
8:00 a big bowl of ice-cream, a beer, a gin & tonic, or more Kool-aid
1:00 leave the computer
1:30 go to bed and kick myself time wasted from lack of focus that comes from lack of sleep and for not going to bed hours earlier
1:45 finally fall asleep for another oh-so-fitful four hours

I seriously need some sleep and some fun. I should have some money coming in today or tomorrow so I think I will be at Sin City. But right now I'm overdue for my popcorn and coffee...

I think you need a little bit more of a caffeine/ephedrine intake, then you can eliminate sleep altogether. ;)

I'm getting there

I need to improve my intake efficency... perhaps I can switch to Turkish coffee. It's a shame it takes so long to make.

It'll be cool to see you at Sin City, however in the meantime you could join us all for Brit Pop tonight...

(bonus tip): if you drink less coffee during the day you'll be more tired at night when you need to sleep.

I'd like to, but I have a website to finish by the weekend. I'm meeting the client Sunday so if I get it done by Saturday night I'll be in a mood to relax and enjoy myself a bit. If I went out tonight I'd just be stressing over how much I have left to do.

My calendar is still on June! Time to turn the page... OK, them maybe I'll go to Skank this Sunday and Sin City *next* Saturday.

I really, really need to get more sleep.

It'd be cool to see you out at SC again! Make sure to say bye to Kate and Sash as it's their last one before we lose them due to moving to them moving to Toronto!

Any special music requests? As long as they're even remotely club-friendly (and damn, can we push it at SC) I'll give 'em high priority since you're a valued fella we don't see so much these days!

Cool

I simply must abuse this power... Of course I can't think of damn thing at the moment.

Isn't that always the way? Ehhh. It'll come when you're thinking of something else (as usually seems to be the case with such things). Just jot down a schwack of stuff or even bands ya like and I'll tailor a good chunk o' the night to suit yer tastes.

I have been infected by a sick kid. No Skank for me tonight. All I want to do is lie down with my feet up. This sucks.
