After a weekend of glorious insomnia, I was dead tired this Monday. Naturally, I decided to take a nap after work, and ended up sleeping way too damn long. Now it is 4:55 in the morning. I’m passing some time listening to Keith and the Girl, which is a pretty funny podcast that you should certainly check out. I think that insomnia must be self perpetuating. You stay up late, you are tired during the day, you take a big ass nap, only to wake up at 2:00 in the morning and find yourself incapable of sleeping. It is a horrible cycle. I honestly think at times that, if given the opportunity, I could become completely nocturnal.
Oh, an important update for those rare individuals who send a comment my way every now and again: I have enabled Akismet (OMG!). Basically, it filters out spam so I don’t have to do it myself, thereby allowing users to continue being able to post without registering. Thanks for the tip Retrospector! Rejoice!
