Late-night productivity

So last night I got less than 7 hours of sleep, which would normally make me really cranky, lethargic, and unproductive.  But, lo and behold, I've been relatively normal today, and (look at the timestamp) I'm actually productively reading scientific articles and filling out forms for EGSC social events all the way until midnight without feeling tired.  Maybe this will backfire, but I think I'm going to try getting less sleep (6.5 hrs) and see what happens. 

Updates from the gym

• So here's something I don't get.  In the winter, it's cold outside, yet it's the EXACT same temperature INSIDE the gym.  Yet all the girls wear workout pants during the winter, not shorts.  So you're choosing to be uncomfortably hot while working out, just because the outside temperature happens to be different?  
• So with being away on weekends and going to group exercise classes instead, I hadn't been on the treadmills since last week.  So I went this morning, and lo and behold, the New Year's resolution people have already quit! The gym is so much less busy and I can actually move around and have any machine I want.  At the Bally's in Philly I went to, the New Year's resolution people didn't quit until mid-March or so. 

Valentine's Day problem

The problem with living near Harlem is that when you go to Duane Reade to get a Valentine's Day card, all of the cards either refer to the Gospel or have pictures of black people all over them.  Guess I need to go downtown....lol
