Superthread LXXI - Honouring Phil Hughes. 63*

[Dragon2010]

Had the worse case of insomnia last night. Went to bed at midnight. Didn't fall asleep until just after 4:00am (Last time I remember seeing on the clock). Woke-up at 6:00am. Could not get back to sleep except for small five minute lapses. So f*cking tired - and I've got an exam I need to do in a few hours.

I mean, I've never been the best sleeper but I've managed to fall asleep usually within 30-45min of going to bed and usually one wake-up once 1-2 times, and get about 5-6hrs on most nights.

Past three nights saw a decline and last night was just terrible. I'm sitting in the library now and tired as hell. This might fix my body clock though. Battle through the tired until around 10-11pm then go to bed and hopefully wake-up around 7-8am and be back on track for a more normal pattern.

Even other semesters where I've had exams I've never had this. I'm not stresses or anything.

Ouch, bro. I'm lucky I don't have kids to tend to (yet).

I slept beautifully.

No exams.

No kids.

my plan for you over the next week:

- day 1: sit outside your bedroom window & sound an airhorn at 5am
- day 2: call 000 4am and say i'm you, and that i've fallen over and need an ambulance
- day 3: organise a kenworth truck cab to pull up in your driveway at 4.30am and sound his horn for 10 minutes
- day 4: provide bunniesman with your address and say that greg inglis is crashing in your bed for the night, but that he's leaving at 5.30am, so get there beforehand
- day 5: arrange for the equivalent of finale of the sydney NYE fireworks to be set off from your backyard at 3am
- day 6: at 4am, call the police, advise that i've seen a group of bikies in the neighbourhood and saw them climb on your roof and that they should send the police helicopter + spotlight to check
- day 7: hack One Direction's facebook page and advise their legion of female fans that they are performing a surprise show at 5am at your house.. and post the address...

Affirmative, hence the x7 as opposed to 7 emoticons.

Proof that 3rd parties agreements make the competition unfair.

Whoa. Any more info you'd like to share - suburb, we link etc?

Also, just got back from a week in Phoenix. 25C everyday and a delightful little brewpub with a woodfire pizza oven a block from the hotel. The Wife was at a conference all week and the hotel, rental car and her flights were all paid for. I cashed in my airline points and went for about $40. What a fantastic holiday.

How good is test cricket

The entire Australian housemarket is starting to get that way, not just Sydney. Anywhere you go, places are selling for well over reserve. It's starting to get extremely competitive and people are putting themselves in massive debt over it (via a large mortgage, assuming, they are taking out a loan).

I know it's totally different dynamics/area/currency but seeing the cheaper house market over here is crazy. Not to mention, land is cheap (and rising at a decent rate).

Had 5 beers last night (schooner of old, four coopers pale bottles). Feel all kinds of dusty today. More than I should.

Nothing like a job application to worsen a hangover as well
