The last cupcake I had was deeply unsatisfying. I think I need to remedy this.
I'm on break! Early long weekend, because the owner of the music store where we work our second jobs has the store dark this weekend. He's going to NAMM, to look at the pretty pretty new music toys. And our kids have MLKJRDAY off, so yay for long weekend! Today we've declared Seabiscuit day, so we're taking him to the park. Tomorrow D.'s throwing a party, so he's doing prep work for it now. But I am going to be chill, because yay, long weekend.
The point of all that being, I probably have time to bake cupcakes.
What's everybody else doing this weekend?
Too much caffeine can make you hallucinate
British psychologists, who report in the journal Personality and Individual Differences this week that college students they studied said they sometimes heard faux voices after chugging at least seven cups of coffee daily.
Too much caffeine can make you hallucinate
Awesome. I'm getting another diet Pepsi right now.
Also, whoo, social activism in the digital world. I just emailed Orvis to complain about their sending me a gift card in an envelope in a gift box with ribbon in a separate shipping box. (It was part of a promotional deal where if I bought luggage from them, I got a $100 gift card. I bought a backpack for $109. Heh. But anyway, it didn't come in the box with the backpack. It came on the same day in its own box.) Seriously, for an outdoorsy vendor like Orvis, with its own sustainability plan and everything, it was a tad excessive.
And anyway, I got email back within minutes from the chair of their sustainability committee saying thanks, and he'd bring it up at their next meeting. Go instant gratification!
Hey lori, you around? Is it JPL's off Friday?

That's great! Isn't it almost enough to feel heard in those situations?

Faux voices? Were they using a pretentious accent?

So us chronic insomniacs have wide range of fun choices! Hallucinate from sleep deprivation, hallucinate from too much caffeine, or hallucinate from the prescription medication you took in hopes of falling asleep sooner. Awesome!
We've secretly replaced Jilli's coffee and sleep meds with LSD. Let's see if she notices...
Did people hear the TAL with the stories of radon in houses causing aural and visual hallucinations? Basically any old haunted house with lots of reports of ghost sightings and/or hearings is probably some level of radon in the home. It was facisinating.
