Camping Again and the Fall of Polyphasic Sleep Redux

I have to stop the planned polyphasic sleep agenda. This is ostensibly due to the fact that I am now going to see Crackgerbal every weekend. She is a full state away from me (approximatly 5 1/2 hours of driving) and I cannot continue my little sleep experiments. I'm wondering if this is the biggest reason why the polyphasic sleep thing has failed to catch on or be successful in people's lives. Who knows.

Crackgerbal and I went camping again. No pictures this time--we forgot. We went swimming and floated down the river. Nice fun time but I got a sunburn. No big deal but a bit annoying.

Next weekend Crackgerbal will be coming down to see me here at home! She is riding the train so it will be a long, slow trip for her. Not nice but it is good to be seeing her every weekend. I can't wait. I miss her already.

A Failed Camping Trip

We tried to go camping as I noted in my last entry but things didn't work out. It turns out that I'm really allergic to something that lives "outside." Being what it is--the outdoors--we are unsure of what particular thing or things this allergic reaction is due to. What we are sure of is that in a matter of a few hours of sleep I turned into the walking dead. My eyeballs swelled up and started pussing and my nasal passages completely shut down. Not fun.

Crackgerbal was less than pleased but very understanding. This didn't help me much as now I feel like a walking, dripping, gaping pussy. Very unmanly. I now feel a tremendous amount of sympathy and empathy for those others on the planet afflicted with allergies. I've never had these before and I now know they suck royal ass.

Its a new term and I have classes I like! Statistics, Differential Calculus, Welding, and MATLAB. All good and fairly interesting. My least favorite is Statistics but it is still useful and mostly interesting. MATLAB is programming so I'm happy as a fly on shit about that! The final term of this school year is shaping up nicely.

Crackgerbal is enrolled in five classes all of which I think she likes. Things are going well with us. She is almost completely moved in and my apartment is now full to the gills with "stuff" of various sorts not least of which is her collection of school books. I like it. Once I get my books sent down from where I had them stored we will have a veritable library of nerdly learning material. Life is good, my friends. Life is good.

A Camping We Will Go!

Crackgerbal and I are going camping! Things could be better--they always could--but camping is fun. We are going to Silver Lake. I have no idea where that is in relation to us but she is driving so I don't need to know at this point.

I know my last post was a while ago so I decided to drop a note here today. I'm actually on a break at work so this will definitely be short. Just thought I'd let the *cough* extended readership know what was going on. When we get back, I will post soon and let the WHOLE WORLD KNOW what we did.
