THIS IS A READ-ONLY ARCHIVE FROM THE SORABJI.COM MESSAGE BOARDS (1995-2016).

    I am on a bout of self imposed insomnia with work and bicycle riding.

    Under normal conditions I must sleep at least eight hours every night, but I guess the coming summer breaks that up a little.

    Wakefulness:
    Hours awake: almost 40.
    Hours awake at work: 16.
    Hours spent playing The Sims: 5.
    Most recent length of sleep: 6 hours.

    Travel:
    Miles total: 35.
    Miles biked: 33.

    Caffeinated Beverage Intake:
    Cherry coke: 3 liters.
    Sparks: 2 (taken in at a 10-mile one-way Midnight Mystery Ride).
    Tea: 1/2 a two teabag Venti of Earl Gray before I threw it out.

    Self-appointed Tasks:
    Bikes (mostly) disassembled and scrubbed: 1.
    Bathrooms cleaned: 1.

    Off to an interesting start, our heroine wastes time before riding off to a dance party and a (somewhat) naked bike ride.

    I slept six hours and went to work this morning. I'll get another six tonight.


    I'm not going to stay up all night for another couple of weeks (I hope) but there's alot going on so we'll see.

    "Miles biked topless: 3."

    And why the hell weren't we invited, young lady? Hmmmmmmm? You've got a lot of esplainin' to do!

    Either June 12 or 13th is official "World Naked Day". Something like that.

    There was a dance party, with paints, and from there left a group of 80 or so bicyclists in various states of nudity.

    I was wearing a thigh-length full slip and the omnipotent boots and felt overdressed, so I stripped a little (mid-pedal) and let my shoulderstraps dangle.

    In Seattle earlier this week there was a naked ride in broad daylight.
