There is something wrong with the "small" margarita
(the menu listed "small" and "large") ringing up
on the bill as "kid's margarita". (Mad Mex,
Sunday night.)
Does anyone have a good rendering of the caffeine molecule?
I dunno about good, but I just emailed a few gifs I whipped up to your pobox account.
As far as tricks to stay awake in dark rooms, I've found a big one is taking notes. Even if I don't need the notes for later, taking the notes tends to keep me focused enough that I don't fall asleep. And it makes me look serious, too :-)
I tried using note-taking as a caffeine-substitute in college. Unfortunately, I often got illegible notes and I still fell asleep. So notes are still good, and I often take more than I ultimately need, but I still need external aid.
(I wonder if this happens to anyone else: often, the mere act of writing something down is sufficient for me to remember it -- I don't need to actually consult the note, but if I don't write it down I'll forget. This doesn't always happen -- sometimes I really need the note to refer to -- and I haven't worked out all the parameters.)

This is pretty much the way my memory works. I often found studying before a test to be less productive than expected because once I'd written it down, it was there.
