What's going on with your life?

    Against all my expectations, I'm loving Twitter. It really proves the theory of 'Six degrees of separation'. You can reach people with such ease, it beats all other forms of communication on the Internet. I'm not some celebrity groupie. But when you write an article about Quake and John Romero likes it or when you mention something about Starship Troopers and all of sudden Casper van Dien likes it, it's a whole different layer of reaching people. I'm not saying, oh what cool, I need to frame it for my wall, but I do appreciate the added connectivity and validation.

    I've been crunching at the office for a month straight now, between 5-10 extra hours a day. Sleeping is difficult after spending 19h here, I'm tired, but can't sleep. All this starts to take its toll on my body, I hope it ends soon.

    You can do what nurses and doctors do to sleep when they are on a night shit - take benadryl or a sleep aid. Just make sure it doesn't affect you so much that you are groggy when you wake up. I suggest taking one 30-40 minutes before you would like to sleep.


    Also, since you are in crunch it is likely the combination of blue screen lighting and mental thinking contributing to an inability to sleep. I also suggest doing something to at least remove one of those from your presence for 30 minutes prior to bed.

    You're completely right, even if I'm tired I usually check my laptop or my phone before trying to sleep, as I like reading stuff on the bed. I'll try to go back to my kindle (no blue screen) or actual books.

    oh man, that sucks :( it's the worst thing about owning a dog, or any pet really.

    my dog died last year, he was 21 years old. He had a runny nose for a few weeks before he passed away, is that why your dog is lying on that sheet?

    curious if it's a common thing for older dogs.

    He's lying on that sheet because he was weak, he couldn't stand on its own. His spine had parrot's beaks, which weakened his back paws over the last years. He died to kidney failure. Hs lost his sight in the last years too.

    When we went to a hospital we met another cocker, 13 years old, also dieing. Luckly mine didn't suffer from epiletic seizures, heart disease or cancer. In the second day at the hospital there was a dog sufering from epiletic seizure, it's painful.

    I feel your pain, mine died last year at almost 16, we had to put him to sleep to keep him from suffering. Amazing thing was he understood what was happening and he seemed really grateful. Hope it went as well for you!

    'Why does my outlook take so long to open in the morning?!' Well probably because you're downloading the equivalent of all 3 lord of the rings films on bluray on a daily basis.
