I think I've mentioned this before, but...
Why are cars allowed to drive through the crosswalk area while the pedestrian light is on telling people it's safe to cross? Who designed the intersections around here? ARGH

[MaximumZero]

I keep my swords locked up so that my three year old doesn't kill me with them while I sleep.

[GlyphGryph]

I keep my swords locked up and hidden so I don't kill /anyone else/ with them while I sleep.

Stupid sleep-fighting habit. I mean, it's been over a year since the last instance, but better safe than sorry, right?

[GalenEvil]

Safe is better, but then again I have a few swords and other sharp things in my room for the purposes of chopping up someone/thing if it tries to break into my house in the middle of the night... just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that something isn't out to get you!!!

EDIT!!! Since noone has posted for a while >.>

Shouldn't a bottle of white wine + 5+ beers put me down for the night? o,.,O The fux?

[ChairmanPoo]

Depends on the actual alcohol %, your constitution and how fast you drank them.

For what its worth, unless you are drinking a small amount (eg. one beer), alchohol is actually bad for sleeping, especially once you metabolise it.

[ChairmanPoo]

It leads to fragmented sleep, so while it will help you fall asleep short-term, most likely you wont remain so.

I assumed he returned from a party and was surprised at being still awake, though. It's not unusual and is in fact a good idea to remain so and rehydrate yourself before going to bed.

Beer = Budweiser: 12oz @ 5% alcohol x 5
Wine = Oakleaf Chardonnay: A bottle (22-24oz) @ i dunno the content Usually gets me good after a bottle so I can sleep (fucking insomnia)

assuming constitution has something to do with metabolism: I have a hummingbird speed metabolism so everything moves through me pretty quickly. Started drinking about 3 hours ago though.

@lemon10: I did not know that. I figured with the awesome fuzzy feeling that wine gives me it was still a good thing. Sometimes my insomnia starts to kick my ass, and this is one of the few legal methods I have to get back into the fight. Otherwise I would just stay up all night and do my gamer thing on my non-internet connected computer or do some screwed up logic on a programming issue that I am trying to work through at the moment.

And to ChairmanPoo since my posts keep getting interrupted: Sadly, no I have not just returned from a party Just now getting some free time to start unwinding from the day (as of 3 hours back) and so drinking because I'm bored and am/was under the impression that it would help me sleep. Based on your statement it seems more likely that it does fragment my sleep as I got only about 4 hours of sleep last night but had attributed that to the really screwed up background noise that I had going on that routinely gives me screwed up dreams >.>

Postscript Edit as I had forgotten a possibly important detail:
The background noise last night was the entire series of Elfen Lied in the original Japenese language. I have had some pretty weird dreams due to it. In the past it has been as far as super graphic AO (ESRB) rated violence, possibly stemming from my watching it 3 episodes a night with English translations for a while, up to night after night horrific AO++++++ rated violence due to my own warped imagination while listening to the entire series repeatedly over several nights in Japanese.

Due to the immediately above I think that I can contextualize a bit more than I can actually read and/or listend to since that kinda screwed up my dreams for nearly a week the last time that I had Elfen Lied on repeat while I slept. Last night was no different, and may have contributed to my getting a minimal functional amount of sleep for the night.

Just saw the movie Barton Fink

[The Darkling Wolf]

Good film. Wierd as fuck, but good.

[bitesh]

Yeah. But still... And then it ends all of a sudden at that beach. No closure, no... you know...

[Dutchling]

Why is there a Canadian Dutchling?

[MaximumZero]

I dunno. Apparently, there's a MaximumZero on deviantArt who likes everything I don't.

In the US, at least, pedestrians crossing are supposed to have right-of-way. Unfortunately, some people seem to think that "right-of-way" means "make them a hood ornament".
