Sleep patterns…

okay, so i think i’ve messed up my sleep patterns a bit…

got about 6 hours a day in the last two weeks…
On wednesday, I had a bunch of stuff to do in the morning…
ended up being late to meet Gris. @ SFU… didn’t get there until 12:30
so met until 2:30… then it was off to Metrotown… complete waste of time… i couldn’t find anything i needed there…. >=(
soo tight for time, and such a huge waste of time that was..
anyways… I really needed to find the Giant Patrick (Spongebog Squarepants) balloon that I had almost bought a couple weeks earlier but figured it was too early to buy…. but my running around the weekend before looking for the balloon failed… leaving metrotown… i think to myself… where could i find it…. plus i needed to find a licquor store too to pick up stuff for a party (which the balloon was also for)… on a hunch, i sought out of potential location for the balloon… some kid working there was a dumbass and didn’t even know what spongebob squarepants was… pretty dopey like he was on a downer or something…

after first he didn’t know what i was talking about… and didn’t think they even had what i was looking for…. after he left and i was going to get something not as cool as patrick… lo and behold… i saw it… floating above my head in a different area… i wonder what caused me to look up…. so i got the patrick balloon, and conveniently, next door was a liquor store…. so i somehow managed to get everything i needed, when i was freaking out thinking that i wouldn’t be able to find anything (after the metrotown dissappointment)

anyways… so i look at the time… oh crap!!1 i’m soooooooo late……
so i haul ass through rush hour traffic to get to the ferries, pick up ilona…then it’s downtown….

maybe i get used to having to rush and drive fast/aggressive to get places…. especially since my old panda car is so underpowered.. i gotta work so much harder to get through the city…. (hopefully i can change this to a more comfy relaxed driving style… maybe need a new car first…)

anyways… sorry for the long not-so-interesting anecdote not really even about the sleep pattern disruptions….. but…..
we got to downtown pretty early…. yet was still late for the meeting…. because we went down to denman street by foot for some secret yet delicous ^_~ reasons…

got to the meeting a little late, which was okay since the SFU people were later than us ^_^ seems a little out-of-character for the typically TYPEA TYPEA =D sfu… but hey… it’s allll goood…

anyways, went to the party after that with the giant patrick balloon floating in my trunk…. put a bungee cord across to make sure he didn’t float up when i open the trunk… but it’s like 3′ high ^_^

anyways…. after so little sleep over the previous two weeks…
i was sooooooooooooooooooo tired by only like midnight or something… by 2 or 3 i was ready to pass out… but trying to follow what was going on in Monster (the movie) (if you ever read this… sorry Sally, Chingyin if I asked a lot of stupid questions)

at any rate, i was way too tired, half asleep, and threatened to fall unconcious… that i couldn’t drive home…..
if you ever read this…. Thanks Erica!! for letting me sleep on the couch…. the thing said that party was gonna go till 6am ^_^ ehehe…

alarm went off at 8am… but my PDA far too quiet to be practical as an alarm…. but luckily i was half woken up my Erica or her grandmother so i wasn’t so deep in sleep… I think i startled her grandmother though… sorry… i couldn’t understand what she said so i just said “hello”
honestly, i thought she said sabeseyo (like korean) but since I don’t think she’s korean… i figured i was probably just too tired to understand what she said, or didn’t understand the language…

not wanting to cause any hooplah, i quietly left….
sorry, i didn’t that would be rude… but thanks for everything though

drove back to metrotown…. soo confusing… the roads didn’t quite go where i my mappointmsn print out said they would… and I was much much much much much farther north then i thought i was….
approaching the barnett… i was like.. oops.. this isn’t where i wanna go…
so i did a U, and went up SFU’s burnaby mountain, and down the other side to get onto the highway (1) and off to metrotown….
that early in the morning… there’s not so many shops open in metrown ^_^ oh well… got some tea, and caught the sky train downtown…. was downtown around 10am…. i think the sleep patterns and general fatigue and sleep deprivation made me will… anyways when i was done downtown…i went back to metrotown…. wandered around… had great kimchi noodle…. picked up shenmue II for $20, checked out the latest designs from the japanese bowl shop… and searched for the kitsune doraemon… no luck with the kitsune doraemon… do i need to goto hokkaido for that??

so i got home about 3pm… and passed out…
the next think i know, it’s about 9pm and night….

after all the sleep that day, i stayed up late again…
but it doesn’t take long for TV to get crappy…
i dunno… a show about a doctor’s office? not that interesting…
the only one still up was annie… strange to see her up so late…
but she was gonna go read, so i figured, oh yeah, i should keep studying my biztalk study materials on developing deployment strategies…
figure at about 4am… maybe i should get some rest so i don’t completely screw up my sleep pattern…..

but now…. i’m just tired X_X

okay, that was a long anecdotal torture with no purpose… hehe….

so what’s the moral of the story, you might ask?

well….
1.) Spongebob Squarepants’ Patrick in a giant 3′ balloon form is cute… and
2.) secret denman trips are yumm
3.) sociables has too many rules
4.) skytrain has lots of interesting people…. dot dot dot….
5.) get some rest!!!
