All Things in Moderation

I learned that lesson the hard way this afternoon. This morning I met with a friend at our local coffee shop to talk about a play we'll be directing, and I ordered a cup of tea. I had forgotten at the time that "a cup of tea" at that place actually equals a cute little pot the size of about five cups. Well, we talked for a long time, giving me enough time to drink the whole darn thing, and for five hours afterward I was vibrating with the caffeine. I kid you not. Five hours. But maybe I didn't learn my lesson, because I went back to that dreaded place again later with other friends. Why don't things ever get through my skull?

I started writing a post earlier today, but that was back when I was on the caffeine high and couldn't think to save my life, so I think I'll just scrap the whole thing and pretend like it never happened. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

That news wasn't the only thing I came on here to tell you, but I just zoned out and I honestly can't remember what the other thing was. So I'll just improvise here...

The following is in list format because a) I like lists. Lists are cool. and b) I probably can't be trusted to construct comprehensible sentences at this beastly hour.

List of  Words That Are Fun to Say:

• Occupation

• Gnarly
• Ubiquitous
• Brilliant
• Beyond
• Catapult
• Beastly
• Rubbish
• Foundation
• Bacon

• Recidivist
• Stymie
• Vexillologist

List of Words That Never Should Have Been Invented:

• Microscope
• Cinnamon
• Raxacoricofallapatorius
• Antidisestablishmentarianism

But I digress. Have a wonderful night, and totally disregard anything that was said in this post.
