I could've been up at 8 AM this morning instead of 5:30 AM. But nooooooo....the bus drivers still have to be on strike....and even if negotiations work out this week, it'll take another week or longer to get the buses checked and working. Batteries have to be changed for many of them. At least we get a partial refund on our December pass.
- yeah, I'm still complaining.Jaline

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night just to give myself an indian burn on my left arm...

I confess that I'm just going through the motions, flipping through the sidenotes without really even reading them, paging through the blog thread without paying attention to the pictures of orangey looking classical guitars resting on red things, half-heartedly carving the name of someone I've never really cared about very much into my arm, still not feeling anything really but sort of trying to pretend I do, still hungry, still without a snack.
- numb, sort of, but not really?********
- Kisses with saliva, still cries over spilt milk, enjoys a drink now and then.Horp

Sometime I wake up in the middle of the night with a little pencil moustache, spats and an exclamation mark painted over one eye, laughing at the works of De Chirico.

The desirability or otherwise of the wine character known as "Brett" is one of the most controversial issues of recent times. Arguments have been made for Brett character being a complexing and a legitimate expression of natural, uncomplicated winemaking, while others view it simply as an unattractive wine fault that results from poor winery hygiene and sloppy winemaking.

But what is Brett character and how and why does it appear in some wines? The wine character described as "Bretty" comes in various forms. It is the combined result of the creation of a number of compounds by the yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis, and its close relative, Dekkera bruxulensis. The three most important known aroma active compounds are 1) 4-ethyl phenol (4-ep), which has been variously described as having the aromas of Band-aids®, antiseptic and horse stable 2) 4-ethyl guaiacol (4-eg) which has a rather pleasant aroma of smoked bacon, spice or cloves and 3) isovaleric acid which has an unpleasant smell of sweaty animals, cheese and rancidity. Other characters associated with Brett include wet dog, creosote, burnt beans, rotting vegetation, plastic and (but not exclusively caused by Brett) mouse cage aroma and vinegar.

Somehow, I feel horribly sick at work. When I'm home, my room is the best place to be. The heater is on, and the air is clean. Must be all the dust and grime at work, arrgrggh, my nose won't stop.

I have developed a habit of sleeping on my left arm during the night causing it to go dead. This in turn causes me to wake up, probably because my brain can no longer communicate with my arm and thinks I should do something about it. A couple of times I've held my dead arm up with my other hand and let it go (to try and get the blood recirculating), only for the dead arm to punch me in the face at full force.
- i've managed to make both arms go dead before, now that was freaky... felt like rubber manGreedo
- You could put that to good use before you leave for work though.Horp
- I always get that with my feet. Luckily, I am usually awake. Sometimes I start walking, and think I may break something.Jaline
- It always takes ages for it to start working again too. Sometimes I wonder if I've killed it this timecreative-
- I had this happen to my hand few nights ago.canuck

That reminds me of this one time, at school (I'd say...11th grade), when my feet were asleep while I was sitting on the floor in the hallway with my friends, eating lunch. I had to run to a meeting right after, so I made a complete fool of myself by attempting to run while my feet were asleep. I ended up falling on top of a girl my sister knew, and she almost feel into a garbage can.
