So what's your excuse for still being awake? I can't get any work done with the parents awake, I do all my reading and such at night. They don't exactly approve of these things and I'd just rather them not know about it and such, they're constantly in and out of my room normally so whatever.

I just watched "Sweet Home Alabama" over the weekend and I came to the realization that Dempsey is just slick and slimy enough to play San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome in "The Gavin Newsome Story". It would be a made-for-TV movie in my mind and it would be about the abusive and co-dependent political relationship liberal voters have with Democratic politicians.

"No I swear - he didn't cut our wages and furlough us! We were soooo stupid, you see, we misplaced our wages - yeah, that's it. And we didn't realize that we should only get four days pay for five days of work. So stupid, so careless... we'll be good for now on."

Then in the third act, the liberal voters get their act together and confront the mayor. "I've decided to talk to someone. You don't know them, they are a radical and they are going to talk with me about this relationship we have. They have some ideas, they are going to try some class-analysis to see if that provides some perspective on our problems."

Ok, it's very loosely based on reality.

This modification is for Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword patch 3.19. Neoteric World expands upon the modern era and future eras in the game, The expanded future era is optional to play. The focus of this mod is to add more quality content without overloading with too many new features. You will find many of the upgrade paths for units are now more beefy, for example you progress through World War one tanks all the way upto modern tanks and beyond! There are no critical errors to this mod like the other mods out there, so its 100% stable.

I've had that from my teens through my twenties. I've always been against "working out" because of the culture of it (and because I walk everywhere anyway) but seriously, having regular exercise has been the only thing that helped reduce my insomnia consistantly. I would have it sometime a few times a week but at least twice a month and now I can't even remember the last bad case I had. Not that it would work for everyone, but it helped me.

I've been going to sleep around 3:00 am lately. Sadly, I actually have to wake up tomorrow for a doctor's appointment. Ironically, they're a sleep specialist. I also took one of my medications later than usual so that doesn't help things.

To be fair, the last hour and a half is more on forums and website "doing one more thing" before I go to sleep. Seriously, I see something I don't know or want to know about and click it, and I get in a feedback loop. It's interesting that these can actually end. I ran out of interesting Wikipedia links after about three hours once. By ran out I mean "I started at one page and opened pages in it that looked neat, repeating this pattern and only viewing pages accessible within the pages I reached." Of course, I also only looked at stuff that caught my eye. If I had explicitly tried, I wouldn't want to know what would happen.

I really, really want to find out how the screen technology is getting. I need to read wikipedia on like something more eye-friendly. Virtual books exist already. I want internet that looks like it's part of reality.
