I'm not sure I would have bothered getting up yet, if there wasn't a party to go to this evening. I think I'll be rotating my hours around again early in the new year as I'm getting tired of waking while the sun is going down and going to bed when its coming up.

He also places the date of Jesus' birth sometime around 1084 AD...
