Awake-ish-ness
I've been awake for something like 28 hours. I was getting kind of numb and slow a couple hours ago, but then I ate macaroni and cheese (the organic white cheddar kind with the rabbit on the box), and now I feel OK.
"OK" isn't quite the correct, um, acronym (Orl korrect, is it? Army? World War? Vietnam? Something. I forget the etymology and can't be bothered to look it up.). I don't think I could sit in a NYSE board meeting and be coherent right now, but anything short of that, I'm sure I could handle in brief lengths.
Or, maybe the excitement of being a newcomer to a NYSE board meeting would give me the adrenaline rush I need to be completely coherent during it. Of course, I'd pass right out afterward. In the back seat of my car. Car with driver. Because I'd be a NYSE board member.
Anyway, I was reading BBC News this evening after eating my macaroni and cheese, and there was an article about blogs covering the London bombings. Let me see if I can scrounge up that article again... yes, indeed. The article is excellent, but what's better is one of the actual blog posts. If you never read a commentary again, you must read this one first.
Be sure to follow the directions.
You know, stand right, walk left, be polite, only use foul language after your third or so word, et cetera.
So, about staying up for 28 hours... I worked (work work) last night, then got coffee and did moving preparation stuff for a while, then sent emails, then... it's been a pretty productive day. I don't see why people aren't more flexible with their standard interpretation of the "day." During any night, I'll get more done in less time than I would during any day. And, then, I'll have time to relax and do a crossword or something.
OK, that's all.
