And in separate petty post: apparently the key to "how to get up before 8:00am" is "getting up at 6:30am". I couldn't do it with an alarm set to 7:20 or 7:45. Could do it with an alarm set (without snooze!) to 6:30, even though I fell asleep sometime after 1:00am. Bodies and sleep circulations are a weird thing.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
most people sleep in 90 minute cycles...so it makes sense that you could easily wake up at 6:30 or 8...but not any time in between.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Mine seem to be 3 hours. I can sleep 6, 9 or 12 and be okay but I'm gronky if I sleep 7 or 8.

3 hrs = 2 90 minutes cycles :) what about 7 1/2 ?

I dunno. I just have a long experience of it taking 3 hours for me to enter sleep, get to REM and back. Anything less than 3 (although I could be woken in 15 or 20 minutes and be a little cranky but basically okay) and I get woken up in the middle of a dream and that REALLY messes me up.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'd rather Beck and ilk be eaten by a crack in time and space and erased from existence. If I were to wish ill on them, which I try hard not to. With varying levels of success.
OMG this eyelid rash. I just took two benadryl on top of just over half a bottle of wine, and I really hope it knocks me the fuck out. It's not just a random bite, there are multiple bumps, and it seems to have gotten worse over the last day. I have no fucking clue what it could be and I'd really rather not go see a doc here just to be told to take Benadryl.

But it doesn't make sense if I fell asleep after 1:00am.

So much this.
I forgot to write this morning before I left home - feel better, Hil (and smonster, too).
ION - it's amazing to see how many people in the library think the computers aren't working because they haven't tried to turn them on (they're usually on, but it's the first day after a long holiday. It make sense that they will be shut down).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I seriously just wondered why you were focusing such ill on a band that sang "Lost Cause." Then I translated correctly and agree with you completely.
Feel better, smonster.

This.
ION, people who talk in libraries (in the "keep it quiet" floors, at least), are on the list. Seriously. WTF. Dudes.

Same here!
smonster, my completely unscientific diagnosis is that its one bite and you are having an allergic reaction to it
