The Big Reset, part 6

This will be my last update. I can’t imagine that anyone has actually bothered to read all of these, and I’m tired of writing them.
I’m now onto the Monster Energy “supplement.” It tastes like Mellow Yellow flavored with piss and rancid grapefruit. My only hope is that the flavors assaulting my tongue were added to cover stunning amounts of powerful, semi-legal stimulants. Otherwise, this crap is awful.
In utterly unrelated news, I bruised the everliving shit out of my fingertips trying to play guitar today. (Not Guitar Hero. The real thing. I find it strange that an acoustic guitar, electronic tuner, neck strap, lesson book, DVD, and strings are half the price of Guitar Hero III and a Wii.) I was practicing for… an hour, maybe? My sense of time is fairly warped right now.
After looking for really basic songs for a while, I came across Johnny Cash’s Hurt. I played the first three notes and noticed that my fingertips seemed to have been crushed in a vise. It’s probably going to be a few days before I can play again.
If you missed all of these, and you probably did, start here.

My last post was done on my iPhone, which is why it’s terse and poorly spelled.
Dear god, I need caffeine. It’s been a very frustrating morning. I started off by going to the car repair shop (”We have to special order the parts. It’s going to be $400.”), followed by the doctor’s office (”I don’t know what’s wrong with you. Go see a dentist.”), and finishing with a trip to the dentist (”The soonest we can get you in is twenty days from today.”).
I’m having the Red Bull now. I’m not reviewing it. Never having tried Red Bull is like saying you’ve never seen Star Wars: if you haven’t by now, you probably never will. But everyone else you know already has.
I’m done with driving for the rest of the day, for obvious reasons.

The sun is beginning to light up the east sky, and I’ve decided to drink the Starbucks Doubleshot as a preventative measure. I actually don’t feel tired, but once the sun has fully risen I’m sure I’ll begin to feel the effects of a sleepless night.
One of the cats, the little one, has a habit of sleeping with me at night. Apparently, she wasn’t the least bit disturbed by the fact that I was neither in bed nor sleeping tonight, and decided to lie down and sleep on me anyway. Cats are strange little creatures.
Anyway, the Doubleshot. I poured it into a highball glass because I’d never actually what it looks like before–only guzzled an entire can at once. It looks like chocolate milk. Again, no surprises from Starbucks here. Their coffee and mlik drink tastes like… wait for it… coffee and milk. Shocking, I know. It tastes exactly like last night’s Frappucino minus the chocolate and peppermint.
As an odd side note, Firefox’s spell check offers “hallucinogen” as an alternative for “frappucino.”
