When you feel that insanity coming on...

I want to say this blog as been a little insanity-saver while I'm at work because I have at least a few hours of downtime during the night where I'm just totally bored. The night rim copy editors here come in at 4:30 and leave at 1, but we basically only work from 7-midnight, so I spend the rest of the time browsing for warm, woolen mittens and a few of my other favorite things to buy online, and also refreshing my e-mail, live journal friends page and this blog.

It's been a month since I've updated, and in that time I'm becoming a more well-rounded "copy ninja," have killed about 20 spiders in my apartment, had more drinks in one night than I have ever had (EXTREEEEEEEEEEME!), eaten 54 Friday's chicken quesadilla rolls and 45 bagel bites, read three books (including "Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs" - awesome), the Indianapolis Star has been brought up on the O'Reilly Factor 3 times, I've watched the entire first seasons of "Scrubs" and "Arrested Development," haven't gone to bed before 4:30 a.m., found a replacement for Schooner Night, and developed a serious coffee addiction. I've made it a ritual to go to Starbucks every day before work (nothing to do with the cute baristas working there) and it has saved my life, and also shortened it a little I think, but as long as I get my buzz, it's worth it. The schooner night replacement I've found is this awesome blues bar downtown that has live music and half-price drinks Thursday nights, and I've gone every Thursday after work because the bars don't close until 3 a.m. here... and it's 1 a.m., time to go scour the city for a bloody mary!
