OCD Mints: LD 80
I've not slept much lately. Some of that is the hypnotic effect of the new 20" LCD screen that was bundled with yuuko, which displaces ordinary sleep like a gorilla occupying cinema seats. Around the time that started, I'd been trying to practice scanning line art and applying ink and colour in Photoshop. This took hold for a week, then transformed into a fierce work ethic, and then became a relentless chase for World of Warcraft gold - there's simply no time for sleep when you're discovering all these things about your life.
Take last Thursday night, for instance. And while I'm taking it, take a happy birthday, catelina. Thursday night was about writing better perl scripts for marking testbeds than last year.
I caught half an hour of sleep at about 6:30am, just before jelashke passed through on her way to work. After the huge roast dinner with family for catelina's birthday, I subsisted the rest of the night on tea and caffeinated mints until I was spending more time collapsed at the keyboard than in control of my typing. This led me to discover that this diet gives me amazing powers of compulsive obsessions. There was a ten minute stint where I walked around the house turning light switches on and off. Both on and off.
Of course I understand that with great powers comes great responsibiliteh: I left all of the lights off, after all.
