    Grab a wedge of lime from the bar, and bite into it. Seriously, the jolt will wake your ass up and make your brain more alert. Old trick I used when promoters started shows late to rack in bar tab money and I had to be wide awake to count money at three AM.


    ETA: Getting ready to go do daily stretches (<----Done!) after a boatload of networking and correspondence, then lunch. Hmmm. Lunch....:confused: Spicy noodles with chicken and peanut sauce methinks. (It was delicious. Added a big handful of spinach on top and nuked it for an extra 30 seconds.)

    Both a friend of mine and I are huge Dragon Age nerds so I'm shopping for a birthday present for her. I found her present, but now I can't seem to stop scrolling through and buying crap for me.

    Just waking up from a science experiment. I had this GABA supplement sitting around and as you know, or may not, GABA is a neurotransmitter that acts as the brakes of the brain, signaling the snapyses to slow down when it does fire. Some say it doesn't cross the brain-blood barrier, some says it does. Some say its good to take anyway because it can effect the body in other ways.

    So since I was a punk, and didn't want to take it orally, I decided to put it into a spray. In addition to putting that into a spray, I thought of something else. I thought of Inoistol which is also a type of neurotransmitter that acts as a secondary messenger within the brain. So I thought, 'what if I combine these two into a spray and spray my leg?'

    So I did. First hour, I felt a calm focused. Not tired. It wasn't until I started getting tired at my usual time that i noticed its effects. I got ridiculously drowsy and couldn't even shift my eyes. Eventually I fell to sleep, waking up hours later in a very groggy state. I want to call it a placebo but I know it isn't... because normally ,when I wake up, I go right into 'alert' mode. Tonight I woke up groggy, which indicates there being a gradual shifting of brainwaves, since GABA is found in the temporal lobes, the home of the Theta brainwave (the brainwave that is the highest during REM sleep) . Actually I still haven't gotten into my 'alert' mode yet, still semi-groggy mode.

    Overall, I would like to say it was a success on first try but I have to keep doing to see if it has any long-term effects, and it just isn't a one time thing.

    Breakfast. Got up at 5:30, getting mentally prepared to be at work at 7 for 12 hours of non-stop exam supervision/tech support.
    I love my job.


    Send coffee please...

    About to get to finishing up these last two chapters. I already know where its going. It's just a matter of putting the right words down. I want to get this done so I can start outlining my next project. Also, I want the rewrite one of my other projects. Bah, I wish I had three sets of hands.

    Fighting the urge to go to bed at 8.20pm, because I know I'll wake again in a couple of hours, and feel like shite! But I am just so tired...! :(

    And for once we're actually sitting in the same sofa, eating from the same sorts of crisps.

    Trying to figure out what the hell do I do on this NaNoWrite site. So, I type my novel in here? But why? I have Word? How do I announce it? Do I have to type my novel in here to announce it or can I just announce it? I intend to try to do the write a novel in a month challenge, and I want to just announce my project, not write anything for it yet. I don't know, whatever lol. I'm still going to write the novel though.

    Cocodamol [sp]-stoned, with cheek the size of a child's red balloon, HE awaits train journey of destiny - toward York dentist.

    Obviously, dentist will be beautiful and the conversation breezy until she looks into his mouth

    'Ed how longs yu eat faeces, meester Volf...?'

    'Not faeces, the fried fish aggravated black stumps at rear of the mouth, you see? Aghhh...'

    'Invektion is disgust-pig. Vee must remove all ze jaw bon...Nurse! Nurse!'

    'Do me, do it, rip off my face, take any eyes you want, ahhh...'

    Sometimes I think @matwoolf 's brain should be donated to science after he no longer needs it...

    (You know we love you, Woolfie.)

    To answer the question....coffee and trying to wake the hell up. ETA: Maybe a little "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley will do it...(ETA: Posted it in the music thread if anyone else needs a kickstart.)

    Yes, but I have to go to the dentist, and I'm not at work. I have to re-evaluate everything. How are they going to move one tooth from under another tooth without hurting ME?

    Drugs. Lots of hard drugs. Highly addictive drugs, so do be careful.

    Sending you good thoughts and hugs if you like, them, Woolfie. :friend:
