I went to bed at 2:40am and woke up at 4:40am.

I've had one large cup of chai soy latte.

Tell me ILX, how long do you give me until I collapse face first onto my desk?

Whoever guesses closest wins a prize to be determined when I'm a little more alert.

You'll last as long as I do, I kept the same hours thanks to a sudden horrible cough and sinus issue.

ps. did you happen to sing along to Beauty and the Beast last night?

― JasonD (JasonD), Monday, 30 June 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

1:04pm, caught myself swaying on my elbows (which were propping me up sort of forward as I "studied" some reports). eyes are having trouble staying open. if i slowly close my eyes, i can feel them begin to to turn back in my head in a manner that induces a deep coma like state.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 30 June 2003 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

pfft I havent had sleep for 32 hours and i had to work today

― Michael B, Monday, 30 June 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

you are clearly pop/chart-rap while i am merely indie/emo

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 30 June 2003 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

you're done, go home early

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 30 June 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 30 June 2003 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

five months pass...

okay so it's 2:45am, i have to be up at 5:15am to be at work by 6am to help prepare for a 5 hour presentation going from 8am-1pm.

i was tempted by the heavy pull of the Ring... well ROTK... and will undoubtedly pay the price tomorrow, going from work to home (yet to pack!) to the airport for a week holiday.

tell me ILx, how long do you give me (oh and can someone give me a wakeup call at 5:20am in case i throw my alarm off the balcony)?

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 19 December 2003 10:49 (twenty-two years ago)

oh shit i know this feeling and i do not envy you

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 19 December 2003 10:56 (twenty-two years ago)

wish me luck!

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 19 December 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

You have a balcony? Do you have a deck? A bay view? A maid???

btw, "Chai Soy Latte" is still coffee, dude. ;p

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 19 December 2003 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

In what universe does tea = coffee?

(Best typo I shouldn't have fixed: "teat")

Odwalla is too expensive.

Odwalla *is* way too expensive!!

Badly.

― Damn Yankees- High Enough (nordicskilla), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

It's tasty, but yes, too expensive. I could buy an entire basket of blueberries and blend them myself for less.

You look around quizzically and wonder aloud, "What's this then?"

What do we think of Emergen-C here?

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

It serves a purpose.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Emergen-C is all right... way too much sugar though.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what it is.

― Damn Yankees- High Enough (nordicskilla), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Sugar + Vitamin C + B Vitamins = survival the day after (for a while).

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

infection breeds on sugar

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

(i might have made that up)

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Given the right rush, I too get the urge to (simulate) breeding.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 25 October 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought sugar could be used to prevent infection in wounds.

i just spent the last 3 days moving my sister into one new house amd my parents into another. ispent the first day chasing my 18 month old neice in the morning, but then i decided carrying boxes was easier than toddlerwrangling. gah. and now im at seatac airport waiting for my ride home. im going to sleep, then wakeup and donate anything nonessentiall that i own.

my wife drinks emergen-c. I think it smells like vomit though and won't drink it.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm fond of it 'cause it vaguely reminds me of the Vitamin C+ Aspirin effervescent tablets in France.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

My wife eats tuna. Horrible.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 4 March 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

he Vitamin C+ Aspirin effervescent tablets in France.

yeah, those rule! they effervesce EVERYTHING over there, it's like "want some gum? well here it is in effervescent pill form." so fizzy it has to be doing something magnificent! i buy entire boxes of Emergen-C at once, and i fold the cardboard around to make my own little counter-top dispenser like they have in the stores. i think i may be a freak for effervescence.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 4 March 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

I am drinking strawberry emergen-C right this second! I am trying to stave off a cold.

Well it was just DMBQ last night... DMBQ used to share a member with OOIOO but I'm not so sure anymore (both bands have revamped lineups).
