It's 3:15am here. I have to be at work in less than 6 hours. Why can't I sleep? Why?

*cries softly*

Oh, that's right, because I couldn't help but check my Play-by-Post games for updates before going to bed.

Are my priorities screwed up or what?

I too blame Paizo for my insomnia! Hope you can wind down my man! Good luck and sweet dreams!

The key is Reverie...sleep is for the weak.


Are you guys all in North America?

LOL... Poor sots.

It's 7:22 PM here.

4:41 AM here. Thing is... I WAS asleep, but I just had a crazy stressful dream that a nuclear bomb went off and I had to race back to the local bomb fallout shelter before the burning air and shockwave got too strong. There was an elevator ride in there, and at the very end a Jerry Bruckheimber "outrun the explosion" scene with me just barely making it to the closing blast doors. I woke up just as I was reaching the doors and it was fire all around and I'm not sure I made it in before the doors closed. OH! And built into the dream were images of clocks with a specific time that some oracle had told me that the bomb was gonna go off at, and the feeling that I'd actually been told that time in dreams months ago, but I didn't believe the oracle and dallied when I should have already been in the bomb shelter.

Heh. Now that I write that all down... sure does sound like the standard "fear of missing the deadline" dream. Stupid Pathfinder #1 and its approaching deadline...

On the other hand, I DID have a pet velociraptor in the dream who survived the bomb, so it wasn't ALL bad!

Gah! Damn you James! I was about to go to sleep, and now my dreams will be fraught with angry time-keeping inbred ogres all seeking to rape me to death. Curses!

You need to lay down that Book of Erotic Fantasy

Believe me...there is nothing erotic about it...it's utterly horrifying.


I never sleep... I merely wait... ;)

I'm just thankful its finally summer and I don't have to get up most days of the week. I don't ever want to graduate.

Meh. I graduated less than a month ago and I still sleep until noon. Of course, I'm unemployed. Perhaps even unemployable.

"Are you employed, Mr. Lebowski?"
"Wait a minute, let me get something straight here. YOU'RE Mr. Lebowski. I'm The Dude. So that's what you call me. That or 'Duder', 'His Dudeness" or "El Duderino" if you're not into the whole brevity thing."
"Are you employed, sir?"
"Huh. Employed?"
"You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that, do you? On a weekday?"
"This is...what...day is this?"

I actually want to pick this book up somewhere, if for no other reason than to weird people out. My wife and I have already placed a book of Erotic Art at the center of the coffee table "to facilitate interesting conversation" so I figure a gaming book along the same lines would not only accomplish the same task but also provoke gaming conversations as well (because we don't have enough of THOSE in our house....).

Hmm... I wonder if Paizo sells it. Anyone know who the publisher is? I think I'll look for it.

They do indeed!

Doing a search for 'Erotic' in the Paizo store brought up FAR more things than I thought it would. o.0

So many anime DVDs....

I wasn't joking, though. I just ordered the book from Paizo. I think I'll pass on the anime though. :D

They have The Book of Erotic Fantasy on the shelves at Borders. I was trying to check it out one time, and this old grandma is looking over my shoulder and getting all huffy. I turns around to her, sez, "what the HELL are you doing in the manga section anyway? Harlequins is thatta way!!! And hey, those are zesty rags too all fulla heavin' bosoms and torn bodices!!!"
Yeesh.

I am right there with you guys [not the erotic fantasy part], I haven't slept in four days.

Four days!!! What is going on?

I was on call last weekend; Sat Sun Mon. I got called in Monday night at 1:30 in the morning, worked til 6a.m. and then went to my other job from 7 to 5. So I guess the key to sleeping well is overworking. ;)

I’ve found that having a new child (my first) has done wonders for my lack of sleeping… I thought I used to know what fatigue was, and then my daughter introduced me to an entirely new level of sleep deprivation. Even after a year I have not been able to recapture those glorious days of feeling completely rested. As a consolation, I do find that I am now a cheap drunk…

The real joy is those days in the field when I get up (or more correctly, get out of the house) before dawn and interact with heavy machinery. My wonderful command of Germanic and Slavic languages is a complete failure when interacting with Spanish speaking equipment operators. And then there are the undocumented gas lines…

Meh - sleep is overrated.


Seriously, wasn’t a large group of people having trouble sleeping a sign of a great old-one awakening ?!

I think they spoke about this in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward and again in The Call of Cthulhu .

I have to be up in 6 hours, but I can not take my eyes off the star. I feel something is stirring.

oh well really I am up reading boards and finding erotic fanatsy with a new map. Thanks for posting.

Here in Fairbanks, Alaska the sun is 60 degrees above horizon as I write this post...it's very, very bright right now; you'd think it was about 2 PM instead of 1020 PM.

I've lived here four years now, but I've never really gotten used to this planet.

So the obvious question is what planet did you live on before 4 years ago?

The local population derisively refer to it as 'The Lower 48.'

I call it 'Gig Harbor.'

Anybody ever read the Resonator? People work 24 hours a day, they never sleep. Ever.

Oh, good! They published my biography! ;-)

I did three years in Alaska, I feel for you man, the 4th of July sucks up there.

Is that Gig Harbor, Washington? I grew up in Port Orchard. What a small world.
Oh, and I don't sleep, I catnap.


well, I have been learning to sleep alone again after 14 years of not doing so; I wake up for no good reason several times after reaching out in my sleep to touch someone who isn't there; sigh. And some days; I am just plain not tired; what is up with that? Most night I sleep fine.

I loved Alaska; saw the sun go around in a cirle; that is just cool.

The Exchange

We came back from America on Friday and the Mrs is having lot's of problems adjusting to UK time again. Me, I slept for 12 hours on Saturday night and got a decent sleep last night. She didn't get to sleep until 3.00am, poor dear. Must have been fun listening to me snoring for hours on end.


I keep getting moved back and forth between days and nights. My circadian cycle is pretty out of whack. The other night it felt like I was asleep, more like I was lying there with my eyes closed.

I just read the "Paizo Singles" thread. I don't think I'll ever sleep again. At least not without waking up screaming.

I can tire you out Craig...then you'll sleep real good.

Wierd. I just had a conversation with a friend about that movie.

"THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, LARRY! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU F$&! A MAN IN THE ASS!"

And of course:

"SHUT THE F!$~ UP, DONNY!"

Also:

"What makes a man a man? Is it his drive to achieve?"
"Yeah. That and a pair of testicles."

And:

"Jesus..."
"You said it, man. NO ONE f!%%s with the Jesus."

No conversation about the Dude is complete without extensive quotation.
