A Simple Yet Functional Journal

mood: sleepy

music: The Space Between - Roxy Music

So, B, aiskon, dragontologist and I made it back from KatsuCon. We left Washington DC 11ish, dropped B in Deleware at 1:30ish, dropped dragontologist at his place around 4ish and made it home a little after 4:30. I know it's possible to make better time than that but the detour added time, and I skipped some potential shortcuts on the grounds that I did not want to be trusting my fatigued self to sport crucial half-remembered landmarks without a conscious navigator. (Gratifyingly, aiskon actually trusts my driving enough to sleep while I drive.) Plus, of course, I drive more slowly/conservatively (a) at night, (b) when I am tired, (c) when driving a large vehicle, and (d) when I have passengers. At least we had clear, dry roads.

Of course, as my car had spent the weekend at aiskon's office, I had to go in with her this morning (we sure weren't going to make the detour at 4:30am!), so I'm walking around on a hair over two hours sleep.

Amusingly enough, one of the articles I printed out for lunchtime reading was Sleepless in Standford about the perils of sleep deprivation. Apparently I am a danger to myself and others right now...

Tonights game is canceled in favor of impending unconsciousess.
