    Late Nights OR A Walk Down Memory Lane Episode 2



    I stayed up till 4 am last night doing work. It was getting cold, so I made myself some tea, and chatted with some friends/coworkers as we all worked into the night. I enjoyed it, actually, quite a bit. I used to do it all the time when we first started 750, but those types of sessions became more and more rare as I went from re-building apps to talking to REAL people (who like to wake up early so they can go home early, oddly enough).

    I actually wasn't that tired even though I woke up at 8:30 this morning. I suspect tomorrow I will feel the real fatigue.

    Tonight Krista took my computer away, turned out the light, and then noted (as I rubbed my eyes and yawned), that just as I always have joked that my mom is easy to put to sleep--just push her onto her side, and she will quickly begin to rub her own eyes and yawn--she can do the same thing by taking away my computer, turning off my music (I was listening to Ma$e before), and pushing me on my side.

    Pretty funny. Which brings me to a brief anecdote (Matt would be proud) about baby chicks.



    It also reminded me of one of the (many) things about my mother that always amused me. When we were younger, we had a tank of baby chics that we took care of around Easter time in our backyard. I recall then, and even later, how my mother would always say: "baby chicks are SO dumb; all you have to do is push them on their side and they will automatically fall asleep". When I was in college, I realized the irony of this statement given the fact that my mom actually exhibited the EXACT same tendencies as baby chicks.

    And just check out this video--hilarious. Reminds me of college.

    must i remind you again...regular sleep patterns help to make you healthy in mind and body, my dear...

    if pushed you on your side to fall asleep i'd actually push you over all the way and see if you fell on your head.

    and, its amazing that you can stay up all night and k star can sleep, truly, anywhere. your future children will have an interesting sleeping rhythm, i am sure:)
