Burial is just everything I need right now, the bridge between where I just left and where I am going, psychologically, psychosocially, inside and outside. My worldview has been altered, attenuated, only this time by sharing the experiences of a real person, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Oh. I found a pill that results in functional all-nighters with a minimum of side-effects. I took one four days ago at nine pm, hit a delicious slow-gathering euphoria between three and four am, took an hour's nap at two-thirty pm.

Really, really wanted to sleep and popped another one instead at four pm. This resulted in nothing worse than mild nausea. I went on about the rest of my day until eleven pm.

Thirsty as hell the next morning, but otherwise, nada. None of the energy drink twitches or heart clutch. None of the minor visual illusions and dead-dog fatigue of mere coffee.

FELLOW GRAD STUDENTS AND/OR ANYONE STUCK ON THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT: Go buy up all the FocusFactor you can grab before the government figures out this shit exists. You're welcome. ♥

It might also be good for jet lag, though I haven't tested this yet.

This man and this woman are the reason I am where I am and am doing what I am doing.

Because the information overload of now, the leaping roar of signal noise none of us even anticipated then, is formless and useless without dedicated interpreters.

I believe, before all else, in the power of articulation through words. This is as near to time travel as any of us, in the present century, will ever come.

We cannot get there. I know that, now. But I'm not sad.

Using what we have, we can pass our knowledge to our children, who can.

I fundamentally believe that humans got us into this mess and humans can get us out, but it will take talking together.

Communico ergo sum.
