Dead Week
Dead week is here. I need to write three papers and prepare for a presentation before 08:05 tomorrow morning. Ideally, I would finish nine chapters of a book and write another two papers too. Ha. When I finish all of this, I will be a very relieved individual. Unfortunately, I am not feeling very motivated…

Another Password to Remember
Registration is now required in order to comment on my blog. Apologies for the inconvenience. I will not contact anyone via e-mail for any reason without their explicit permission to do so.
Also, I have moderated three comments from two individuals because I felt the comments were out of place. I esteem both of these individuals and their opinions highly, and think it would be a pity indeed if either were to cease commenting. If this were not so, I would simply block their IP addresses. I hope that they will not take my moderations personally.
Finally, I would like to direct your attention to the “Say Hello” link on the menu bar—a great way to contact me quickly and privately (and anonymously if need be) via e-mail.

THE BEACH IS CLOSED
announced a male voice through the loudspeaker of a lifeguard’s pickup that was making its way down the coast.
Damn, I thought. I had managed to kindle a fire, and Ashley and I sat waiting for Susan and Jen to arrive. We’d known the beach closed at 22:00, but we’d decided to chance their not enforcing it. Besides, no one else was leaving. Until the truck came. And so our fears were realised. There would be no hot dogs and s’mores tonight. No frolicking in the surf. No taking pictures.
It occurred to me that there’s something fundamentally wrong with closing the beach. There was no time to think on such matters, however—it was 22:15 and none of us had eaten. We walked to the restaurant at the end of the pier, only to find that it, too, was closed. Finally we settled for our favourite microbrew restaurant. Somehow, even when it seems like everything is going wrong, we still manage to have fun. Praise the Lord.

A Bad Trip
Last night I had a bad caffeine trip. My roommate decided to make coffee. He doesn’t usually drink coffee, so he didn’t know the proportions. I told him two coffee measures makes a cup of coffee. He decided to make three cups for the two of us.
What I didn’t tell him was that by ‘a cup’ I meant 12oz. I told him this because when I make coffee for myself, I brew this amount for my oversized mug. In any case, I measured the water and he measured the coffee, so the proportions came out correctly, but we made four cups of coffee.
It didn’t occur to me that drinking half again as much coffee as I’m used to drinking in the morning at 23:00 was a bad idea. We sipped our coffee and watched (ironically) Lord of the Beans. It didn’t even occur to me to go to bed until almost 02:00. At 04:00, I decided to get out of bed and do jumping jacks and pushups to see if I could wear myself out enough to fall asleep. I did fall asleep, but this morning I woke up still wired. I decided to skip my morning cup.

I’m really glad I didn’t try to finish JackalBlog. WordPress is so much nicer. That’s all.
