– Last night. Last minute preparations. I got a CD of piano Blues. I took a nap. I spent a lot of time on the bus.
– This morning. Late start. I got in at 8 AM. Got my coffee.

– Those of you who aren’t digging the Hunt will have to bear with me for the next week or so. Things will get back to normal, eventually. For the moment, I’ll continue to be a little obsessed.

COUNTRY OF THE DAY
Djibouti.

This time of year, this time of year. This time of year, being April through June, I always push sleep deprivation to the most advanced stage at which it can be maintained for any period of time. It’s different than pulling an all-nighter under different circumstances… at no point am I really getting no sleep, but as one responsibility stacks upon another, and the hours tick by… 3 hours of sleep tonight.

Last year I blogged the Hunt, and I intend to do so again this year. It’s a little selfish… I had a 1000% spike in hits right afterward and higher levels for the rest of May, but it’s not as if it’s something I wouldn’t do in the first place.

– The short version of the last week and a half. The weekend before last involved the planning of the road trip. Not much I can say about that. Last week involved drama at work (I quit briefly, and then reinstated myself), and in other areas, and lots of work on scav hunt… on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I believe.

COMMENTS:
– What can I say, what can I say, about yesterday? I worked until about 1:45. I got home a little before 3. I took a nap. I rode down to Hyde Park for grueling work on scavhunt. And I got up today, and here I am.

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated links, and here are a couple that I am seriously remiss for holding out from:

Coral at Coral Rocks is yet another amazing person I’ve met through Sam Perkins-Harbin (I believe he commands the market with a cardinal link in roughly 37% of such transactions) who is in absolute command of one of the most poised syntheses of sponteneity, taste, and occasionally painful candor.

COMMENTS:
– I got home a little late from work yesterday. The only really useful thing I did was finally buy Tori Amos’ The Beekeeper (released in February), and sleep a lot. But, then, I needed a lot of sleep.
