by Zinnia — 29 September 2010

28-29 Sep 2010 I woke up at 2:30 PM, after getting maybe five hours of sleep. Strangely, I dreamed almost the entire time. It was very vivid and detailed. At one point, there was something so hilarious that I actually … Continue reading →

by Zinnia — 23 September 2010

22-23 Sep 2010 I woke up around 5:00 PM - no nootropics today. I think I got enough sleep, although it was interrupted twice by phone calls. From the same person, who probably should have known better. And then they … Continue reading →
