coffee after 10 p.m. is a bad idea.

this should have been apparent after the "Goooooooood Niiiiiiiight" debacle of 2000 but, alas, I shall never learn.

anyway, i was a bit drowsy watching college football last night (perhaps the stinker of a game had a part of it---as of now, 5 of 7 new year's and beyond bowl games have been booooring), and around 10 i decided a cup of coffee might perk me up. it didn't do the trick, so i figured another wasn't a bad idea.

eventually, about 1215 or so, it was sleep time. or wiggle time. long time wiggling. got up about 230 to read some. still not drowsy in the least. about 3, i began work on a potential addition to this here site. (it'll be interesting to about none of you.) about 345 i finally crawled back in bed. eyes closed by 415 or so, to the strains of beck's sea change.

thankfully, i awoke in time for work, but was mostly drowsy.

by the way, in yesterday's entry i forgot to mention one highlight of my recent week in glenview...sunday morning, 12/29. 1110 a.m. annie and i go to see Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, annie dressed as harry. the finest gryffindor quidditch robe [jersey #9 3/4--a nice touch] you'll ever see. a great morning. and outstanding, and i mean outstanding, film. riveting. silly. superb.
