morning

I managed to get to sleep before 11 last night; unfortunately Nick decided that since he had to get up for a 9am meeting, he would go to bed at the same time that I did. Which would have been fine had I not had all this sexual tension that I wanted to be rid of. Instead I had to just lie back and think of cold showers.

So I'm feeling vaguely normal today, and I've vowed to make it a caffeine-free day. It's one of the least harmful drugs, I know, but I'm sure it's at least half the reason my heart rate was so high last night - yesterday I had tea for breakfast and a mocha with lunch, or at least half a mocha with lunch and the rest back at the office. I thought I could put the cover on it and put it in my bag, but naturally it just splashed right out of the drink-hole, onto my bag.

But today is a water-only day, or will be till I get to lunch and have a diet Coke. So far, so good. I feel like enough of a normal human being right now to avoid it.

ok dokey

Last night was an orgy of Mix Taping. Although the advent of the MP3 has made that sort of thing oh-so-much easier. I do still need a program to do fades and speed-ups on MP3s to really perfect it, though. Since I went to bed early, I only made the two for my best friend, though. The rest were CDs, which is even better because it only takes ten minutes or so.

Tonight I'm actually braving my way to the city, for the first time in ages. Perhaps beforehand I'll make a Buffy Musical CD. The musical content is of course not enough to fill a CD, but I figure the other songs from Buffy that I have might do the trick.

while we're on the Buffy kick...

"If I were a vampire, I'd eat Kris Kristopherson first, or maybe second, right after my Dad. (Maybe then he could be cast in a convincing role as a dead person.) I don't understand writers who ascribe remorse and human morality to vampires.

Anne Rice paints a beautiful picture, but I think she underestimates the extent to which people view one another even without the benefit of supernatural transformation."
