Do ever have those days when you just go to bed at a decent hour and sleep restfully all night and then wake up to the sound of something enjoyable on the clock radio? I don’t. What’s it like?

Local time is currently 5:17am.

It all started out well. I went to bed around 10pm. That’s earlier than usual for me these days. But I was tired. And I fell right to sleep. So far so good. Then I had weird dreams about unknown nipple rings and black sheep with human heads that attend Harvard. I woke up an hour before the alarm was set to go off. Like someone flipped the awake/asleep switch to awake. And I had “The Dance” by Garth Brooks playing in my head. The Hell? I thought I was having a nightmare for a minute, but no. I was really awake.

I don’t know about you, but I need something to cleanse the palette after the Garth Brooks song. Hmm…let’s see. Ah, I have just the thing:

Ah, I feel better. Don’t you? Let’s see what there is to talk about this morning. Well, yesterday was a very productive day. I made a post, took a shower, did my Geography homework, read about 224,000 people being poisoned by ice cream contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis, ran a few errands with Teacher Sis (which led to me getting 3 new Adam cards and 2 new holograms), framed my new Batman print, looked at some stuff, thought about some stuff, got bored with that, then listened to the second half of Half-Blood Prince while baking dark chocolate/mint/cashew cookies. White Chocolate didn’t get ahold of me, I think she was recovering from Saturday night, so I picked the cookie flavor of the week in her stead.

Let me just say that dark chocolate/mint/cashew cookies are the most ridiculously awesome thing ever.

I talked to Prince Jazzbo at some point last night as well. He seems to be doing much better. He said something about  being given a lot of anti-anxiety meds which allowed him to leave his room and play Monopoly. It was funny, but when I called the community phone down there and asked for him, the lady who answered didn’t know who he was by name. I then said “Big dude. Pink hair.” and she immediately knew who I was asking for. Funny how that works out sometimes.

Also, there’s a new Instant Photo up on the site:

Oh, so handsome.

Today is Monday. That means I’ll be leaving soon to head to the studio to make more tile for the new kitchen. Then I’ve got tutoring this afternoon. Then I’ve got Food Microbiology this evening. Jeez. I forgot that my Mondays are brutal. Most brutalist.

Well, I guess I’m going to go to work. Even if the sun hasn’t come up yet. It beats standing around here twiddling my thumbs. Plus, there’s a new SModcast today. I think that today is going to be a good day. I have to, you know. What kind of self-fulfilling prophecy would we be living in if we suspected everyday was going to be shit? Anywho, I’m off to it. More soon. ~SC
