4:20AM, up since three, didn't get to sleep until 10, will pay for my insomnia later. I considered taking some melatonin last night, but 1) I don't want to get in the habit of taking melatonin every night, and I took some the night before last, and 2) I had a couple beers during Monday night football, and I've read that mixing drugs is not always a positive experience.

Yesterday was a good day. I'm not a "stay in the office" guy, but I was behind my office door more or less from 8AM to 3:15PM. I answered e-mails all morning (tons of IRB questions) and caught up on various paperwork-related tasks. I also listened to some of the library CDs I've recently burned (M. Ward, New Pornographers) as well as some Tom Waits and Badly Drawn Boy. I completed my last dissertation interview (as long as my house doesn't burn down, my tapes lost, etc.) and drove home at about five. The sky, grey all day, fell dark enough for the streetlights by four. The boys and I played upstairs, we watches Scrubs (muting the potential corrupting parts) and some football. T stayed up later than usual and watched most of the first half. If he doesn't sleep well (unlike his dad) I'm in trouble.

No dreams to report. Should pray/meditate, or at least get back to sleep.
