Monday Morning, Up with the Dawn.

Just who is this Dawn person anyway, and is she worth getting up for? That's the question.

Last night around midnight I suddenly felt very sleepy, so I crawled into bed and set my alarm for 8:30 am. At 8:20 am I awoke from a puzzling dream. On the one hand, it was an old familiar dream about being late for school, and my first class was English and not only had I not done my assignment but I had missed so many classes that I had no idea what the assignment was. Then, suddenly it segued into a strange confrontation with a teacher and a rant that authority MUST be questioned, or it has no right to be an authority.

Anyway, having woken just before my alarm, I stumbled downstairs to find that taxlady hadn't set up the coffee machine before going to bed. Since I'm not sure where we're supposed to be in the weaning-off-caffeine process, I made a full pot of decaf. I don't mind the fact that there's no caffeine, but this stuff doesn't taste as good as what we normally drink.

Party Talk

There was some talk and discussion about Rogue and Nethack at the garden party the other day. Today on kuru5hin, there's a very small article about this sort of game, with many handy links.

Urk.

Well, it seems that the weaning didn't work, and that I HAD allowed myself to get caffeine addicted. So right now the both of us have nasty withdrawl headaches.

I'm gonna go lie down. (again).

My Head.

Is more normal™ now. It still throbs a bit, and it feels like I've temporarily gained a hat size, but I can now stand to use my eyes and/or ears to some small degree again.
