The second day of 2013 begins as uneventfully as the first day did—with the revelation that I’ve overslept. I hit the phone in its face and discover that a text message received at 0607—read at roughly the same time—that states that I’ve been called off. That’s the last thing I know before I wake up around an hour ago getting a phone call from my father asking if I’ve been in the hospital—someone is apparently using him as an emergency contact and is in the hospital; however, we don’t know the person, and since the last time he got a phone call in the hospital he assumed it was me.

MY OWN DAD HAS TYPECAST ME AS A SQUISHY WIZARD. )



To make up for the exceeding boringness of this day, here is Sherlock Holmes beating the everloving crap out of a dead body.

Well, it looked a little bit like this.

THE BITCH IS GONE.

THE THIEF THAT TOOK MY BUS PASS IS GONE.
THE  BITCH THAT STOLE MY BOSS'S INHALER IS GONE.
THE (probable) THIEF BEHIND MISSING XANAX IS GONE.

I'm celebrating with a pair of personal pizzas (homemade from scratch, of course), chocolate, and chips.
Then a hot soak. I've earned it.

...though I think this'll be my last cheat day for a while.

Big Brother Is Watching You Surf


The Issue

Advisers from Tephireth's security services have created a small piece of spyware that they would like to install on every computer in the nation so they can track activity.

The Debate

"For the good of all," claims Department of Protection head Britney Goethe. "This tiny little program will simply collect data and send it via the internet to one of our databases. Nobody will even notice that it's there. Besides, who's gonna notice a handful of bytes under mountains of stolen MP3s? Just give us the green light and we'll be rounding up terrorists faster than you can say 'lolcat'! And, hey, while we're at it, we could even use it to alert people when there's danger!"


"Are you insane?" shouts privacy advocate Jack Pushkin. "Our Sephiras pay for our computers; they're not the government's property! The last thing we need is the government poking its big, fat nose into our business. Keep the government's hands off my harddrive! What's next? Brain implants? Leave my brainwaves alone, you jack-booted thugs!"


"While 'tis not my place," says Amish farmer Max Chandra, "I just thought I'd mention that we Amish don't have any of this so-called 'cyber-crime'. Aye, 'tis a boring life, and plowin' gets old, but abolishing all of those computer-machines would certainly solve thy problems. Perhaps ye should just abandon phones and fax machines, too. Then ye'll be on your way to livin' in an Amish paradise!"

LET US GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT, AND MAY THE GLORIOUS SUN SHINE ON TEPHIRETH IN RETURN:

Ah, Godot, how well I relate to your caffeinated rant.


I’m beginning to think that cutting back down on my caffeine consumption was only a good idea on paper. Since I cut down on coffee, I’ve been completely and utterly exhausted. I woke up this morning with just enough energy to spend pulling a 300°F hot iron through the tangled mess that was my hair (straight and a little fluffy now). Then I realized something—I hadn’t taken my pills.

 

I made a point of taking my pills right away, because these are things that you DON’T want to miss (especially since missing a few doses the other day, I learned that my stomach is STILL reeling from the bug I caught).

 

I’d say I lasted about 30 minutes post-dosing. When I woke up, it was two-thirty.

 

As good of an idea as cutting down on my stimulant intake, it seems that it’s been keeping me running for a while, and without enough stimulants in my system, the pills kick my ass.

 

Let’s see.

 

·         Inderal for migraines. Causes drowsiness.

·         Imitrex for migraines. Causes drowsiness.

·         Sertraline (Zoloft) for PTSD. Causes drowsiness.

·         Seroquel for PTSD. Causes drowsiness (and if I stay awake after taking it, A LUDICROUS HIGH).

·         Bentyl for the ulcer. May cause dizziness.

·         Prescription-strength Pepcid for the acid excess. No problem there.

·         Vistaril for anxiety induced by PTSD. Causes drowsiness.

·         Antivert for vertigo. Causes drowsiness.

…actually, looking at this, I’m amazed that I’m EVER awake.

The next 100 Things post will be tomorrow. I’m having a hard enough time staying awake right now, and I think I’m going to go back to sleep. It’ll beat falling asleep while I’m trying to cook something.
