bradm Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 who's going to try and stay up all night and then go again?It'd be a good finish to JSB tomorrow night...stumble out of Barrymore's, head over to Elgin for some late-night munchies at the Elgin St. Diner, then head Glebeward about dawn for some shopping.Well, it'd be a good finish for people other than me: at 9am on Saturday, I intend to be mid-way through my planned after-breakfast nap.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I intend to be mid-way through my planned after-breakfast nap.Aloha,Bradthen up again for eleven-sies? You must be part Hobbit!!!seriously, the only way I'd consider doing it is your suggestion of the early-morning diner then staggering off to find some finds! I sometimes fail to see the point of sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 No, more like 10ses. Rather than sleep late, which shifts the schedule for the rest of the day (and its meals) by a couple of hours, I get up by about 8am, have breakfast, then head back to bed until about 10am, garnering at least an hour and a half's extra sleep in the process. After I get back up, I usually have a show to process between 10am and noon (hey, if I hadn't gone and burned myself out, I wouldn't need a morning nap ), and I can then start the FTP (or torrent) of it, and then go back to bed for another couple of hours; a late afternoon awakening, further handling of the show (if necessary), dinner about 5pm, and I'm ready to head back out. This kind of thing, as far as I can tell, goes against most recommendations for maintaining good sleep, but it has one advantage: I'm able to get sleep just about whenever I have a couple of hours to spare.

AD Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 how much for the phone?where do you live?I might have sold the phone to a guy at work today, but if I didn't, it's worth about $60 and it 'cost' me in other credits and stuff about $30, so I'd want $30 for it. I'll let you know tomorrow if it's still available or not.Maybe we'll find your stolen cd's mooose?(not implying AD stole them)Haha, some of these are CDs I don't want to fess up even owning, let alone buying in the first place!AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hux Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I scored a 20 band equalizer and a stereo tuner for $20.We are the World, and Disco Hits on CD.We were out there by 8:00 sharp and most of the furniture already had sold stickers on it.Good times, still a lot of crap though.

phorbesie Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 i saw some gorgeous furniture too, all of it sold already not that i have room for more furniture anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Me and phorbesie found the best cd collection for sale - I showed incredible restraint and only grabbed 15 of them. Also got two triv games, some books and a blender that turned out to be a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
