notes from the land of sleep deprivation

RIP preston newby, you will be dearly missed and never forgotten.

seeing the first post-mortem declaration by a friend on facebook was a jarring experience but one that will only increase in frequency, i suppose.

i support the intentions of the Latinos for Obama BBQing outside my hotel but i do not support their compatriots honking in solidarity and waking me from the first sleep longer than three hours i've had since monday night. i actually went outside meaning to read the riot act to the idiot holding a "honk for..." sign but had a change of heart upon discovering the idiots numbered around 50 and didn't actually have any "honk for..." signs.

working out during a press check is one of life's little double-edged swords. one edge cuts away at your fatness and releases endorphins; the other edge requires sleep for recovery and will unleash all manner of tweaks, twinges and pains when deprived.

Now is the time for a helmet that surrounds your head and gives you access to personal video of the ocean or something, complete with noise reducing headphones that bring the breakers gently into your ears.
