My goal was to start going to the gym again this week. I was planning on going in the mornings before work, and today was gonna be my first day. I don't have work until 1 on Mondays, and tomorrow I'm covering a coworker's shift so I'll be going in at one tomorrow as well. My plan was to get up at 5, go to the gym, and then I'd be able to nap before work if I still needed it. However, sometimes I have terrible insomnia. Last night was one of those nights. I didn't fall asleep until some time after 6am, woke up at 12:30, and went straight to work, and I'm done at 9. Which totally pushed my internal clock in the wrong direction. So right now I'm contemplating taking something to help me sleep as soon as I get home, and stick to my 5am gym plan.
Keeping this sort of schedule is beneficial for me because if I'm consistent with it and force myself to go to bed around 10 or so, I get enough sleep, and the early rising/working out keeps the insomnia at bay. And when working out I NEED to get sufficient sleep or I become injury prone and miserable. However, I also enjoy hanging out with other Inforooers in chat at night (which doesn't really get poppin' until 9:30 or so), as well as watching basketball (and sometimes games don't even start until 10:30). So going to bed early makes me miss out somewhat on the things I enjoy, which makes me question if it's worth it.
I prefer not to go to the gym right after work because it's always really crowded, and if I go later at night it's an extra trip out of the house that I have to make, plus I get amped up and it gets harder to sleep, which is tough enough for me as it is.
I feel like no matter which way I slice it, I'm gonna be missing out on something somewhere - either sleep, social activities, or my workouts. If I slept like a normal person it'd probably be a bit easier. I'm probably just overthinking this, but sometimes I just need to get all my thoughts out. Gotta find a good point of balance.
Shit, maybe I should just accept that 2016 is the year that Jazmo grows a gut.
Sleep over everything, I say. Fit everything else in.
What basketball team are you watching? That may factor in too. Where you are, I assume it's not the Sixers. Is it the pro or college version of the game, or both?

Yeah, not gonna lie - the first thought I had when I read the bolded part was ".... 10 pm? but then you'd miss all of chat forever "
I am bad at getting to the gym that early; I can do 9 or 10 am, even 830 maybe, but 5/6 am??? Nahhhh.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

I function so much better when properly rested. My long-term goal is to go caffeine-free, but I'm not ready for that yet. And I've been most interested in watching the Warriors lately, so that's definitely an impediment to all this haha.

Yea, missing chat would suck. But going to the gym early just sets the tone for the day for me; makes things more enjoyable. I've done it consistently in past years, but skimped on sleep. I'm trying not to do that this time around.
Day two at home with low-grade fever. I was told to stay home and quarantine myself. I have shit to do, I like my job, I don't want to be home in bed. Stupid 99.1 temp.

Idk, I think you're looking at this from the wrong perspective!

You're probably right. Plus, I got puppy cuddles happening and who doesn't like that.

Shit, I could go for some puppy cuddles right now!
Tyger is all cuddly with me, but I think he's grumpy, he's growled and snapped at jeremy. He's being 7lbs of asshole to everyone but me. Or maybe he knows I feel bad and is protecting me?
However, I also enjoy hanging out with other Inforooers in chat at night (which doesn't really get poppin' until 9:30 or so)
Back in the beginning days of chat, I was a regular and this is why I (more or less) stopped. It was affecting my sleep too much. Logging in on Friday and leaving at midnight was too late for me! I ended up waking up at 7:00 and wishing I had gone to bed earlier.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

99.1?? That ain't a fever!!! It is only like half a degree higher than standard resting temp. That said....enjoy the time off

Your main problem here: waking up at 7 am on a Saturday..... how/why?

I think most moms are just sick of the homosexual aganda being shoved down their throats and forced on innocent children who should be allowed to just be kids. What two adults do weather I agree with it or not is between them and God and none of my bussness. But when you try to push your aganda on innocent kids. That I won't tolerate!

I agree, but tell that to my brain!! I had to work at 11, but naturally woke up at 7:00. The upside is that I get lots of coffee and Netflix in bed time on Saturday mornings.
It's why I started to give myself an early bed time many moons ago. I am going to wake up no matter what, so if I want a reasonable amount of sleep, I need to go to bed early.

Someone that works for AC Ent is coming to my school later today to mostly talk about the externship program at Bonnaroo. I went to this last year, if it's the same person he deals with "event engagement" but was pretty open to answering various questions about the fest. If anyone has any good questions they want me to ask I wouldn't mind.

I loved the bathrooms they had by Groop Camping, the ones with flushing toilets. For the guys, they also had these big wall style urinals. Made it so there was never a line to pee, they could fit so many on the various walls.
Ask if they plan to expand those.
And tell them if they ever put a fucking lazy river in, they should all be fired.

I run low 97.1 usually, so it's like having a 100 low grade fever. Plus, we have a very pregnant lady in the office, so I get why I was told to stay home. I am freezing and then burning up and that's not normal, but it should mean my body is fighting it off. Hopefully I'll be better tomorrow. I really have shit to do and hate being stuck in bed. I'm trying to be positive, like I'm home, no work, but I'm not wired like that really.

I'm going to randomly post some things that were talked about:
- I asked about the flushable toilets and was told they are doing everything they can to go a step above that and provide permanent bathrooms. Currently the city of Manchester can't supply the water that the festival needs. I would expect more flushables until they can figure out a proper plumbing system, which doesn't sound like a simple solution.
-Although they do need to get some decisions approved by LiveNation, nothing has changed about AC Ent. They plan to use the LiveNation money for structural improvements, but they still run everything about the festival. The site improvements are definitely made with an intent on having more events at the farm.
-I asked about their relationship with other major fests in June like Gov Ball and Firefly, and if they work together in booking. He said although they are all friends and go to each others festivals, they work pretty independently with artists. He said there has been the rare occasion where one of the festivals will approach them basically saying "Hey, we really want to book this X act and it would really help if you put in an offer and entice them to come out and tour"
-They approach Prince every year, last year was close and Jack White stepped up as a headliner replacement.
-Apparently the booking folks ask others at the company to list some acts they think should headline. He mentioned he thinks Foo Fighters or Justin Timberlake would be great (said JT isn't touring next year). He also said they haven't booked any headliners yet, which I find hard to believe but he was pretty open about other stuff so I don' t know.
Nothing too juicy but I thought I'd share. Didn't ask about a lazy river.

Nooooo, JT! Tour, you bastard!!!
But I guess if Launchy is right with his info, I think he did say that the two HLers he knows about aren't entirely confirmed/locked in yet. Or did I make that up?? Would make sense though, if they're both at like 90% locked in, the rep wouldn't say they've booked them yet.

In keeping with my musical tendencies, I'm gonna let today be my day of fifth listens so that I can delete a bunch of albums from my "Listen to These!" folder. I try to do this before I start grabbing new albums, especially because I've made a deal with myself that with each new album I grab, I grab the the next album on my list of things I've never listened to before. If I get too excited, the deal still stands and then I've just downloaded 12 albums and it takes awhile to listen to 12 albums five times, ya know? Anyway, this is mostly for my own benefit, but today I'm fifth-timing Section.80, Sweet Heart Sweet Light, Love This Giant, II (Fuzz), Tomorrow's Harvest. I also have a running list/count of how many songs are left in the aforementioned folder. I got really excited in 2012 and I haven't been able to dip back down to the number prior to that in three years. As of November 9th I'm at 4293 songs in that folder. The other thing I keep a statistical count of is a sticky I have of the albums I'd never listened to before: Every Monday I write down how many I've listened to five times out of the ones I've listened to so far. As of this past Monday I'm at 34/56 - 61%. I've been doing the latter since the end of August. The largest number so far was 76%. I've been doing the four-digit number count since February 13 2009 when the number was 1544. I'm trying to keep the minus consistent, as opposed to deleting one album and adding two, etc.
I'd like to add that it's not like I only listen to an album five times and then never again, but I try to listen to things that are new to me at least five times. I deleted that YACHT album after two though. That duo used to be great, but that album was predictable pop-garbage. It's not a perfect system.
edit. Kendrick's ability to tell an album long story is thoroughly impressive. Section.80 is damn good. Gonna have to do some re-listening soon.
