The grapes i'm eating are dirty. I've tried washing them, but the dirt is stuck to the skin. Luckily they're organic, so I'm just asuming that massive character is being built. You know, because I still need more character after SEVEN DAYS OF STAYING AWAKE.

I'm feeling pretty great today. The reason? Projects. Let's start with the only project I've done so far:

PROJECT ULTIMATE ALARM CLOCK

I spent 3 hours (yeah, I got the time to spare, baby) making a sweet alarm clock system. I have a little wireless controller next to my bed. I press a button and the lights dim slowly as the candle turns on. Then a short confirmation tone is played so that I know the volume is loud enough to wake me up.

25 minutes later, I hear eminem yelling at me. The coolest part is that to turn it off, all I have to do is get out of bed and a motion sensor detects that I'm up and about.

I'm also trying to eat tons of food today to see if that helps me get through the night.

Nick is coming into town tonight, which should bring a lot of enthusiasm and good ideas to the project.

Also, he likes playing xbox so I'm setting that puppy up to keep us awake all night. Maybe I will finally try this Halo 2 game.

I like the wakeup ritual too. I wonder what the neighbors think of me walking around in my PJs. Actually, they're hibernating peons so I don't really care.

Ty!
