Ah, poop. Drudge has this story now. I always feel dopey running with a Drudge story, unless I can attach a killer Photoshop to it.

I actually saw it here first:

…s’okay though.

I prefer to think of myself as a night hunter.

Gee. Should’ve linked to Drudge and send him a Stoatylanche.

I will rip out your spleen and piss on it if you speak to me during my first waking hour.’

My kinda people …. er, mustelid. 😉

Centuries ago, when I was a theatre major (y’know, back when pterodactyls soared above the earth and PBS was NET), I was not a morning person. My opinion was that if God had intended for us to be up in the AM, He’d have made it happen after 12 noon.

Then I left college and started working, including driving a delivery van. And my body and mind shifted. Now I prefer doing things in the morning, especially since, in this heat-stunned dump, it’s fractionally cooler (read: less hot) before 10 am. My exercise session is in the early AM, I get to work early and leave early, and generally am off to bed early except on weekends.

Not posting to declare I’m better than afternoon people, understand. My point is that maybe some people can change their orientation or preference if they want to.

I want to go to bed early, and sleep late. I want to get up just in time for brunch. Actually, could you bring it to me in bed? With some fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, please. Thanks.

Gosh, I had forgotten PBS used to be NET.

I had to switch my orientation, too, because of work. It doesn’t matter when I get up, though, you *still* can’t talk to me for the first hour.

Being of the opposite persuasion waking-wise, I always felt that sunrise was created to let folks know that they’d seriously overslept.

I used to work with a guy who wouldn’t speak with anyone, or even acknowledge them, until he had his first cup of coffee in his hand and had taken a sip. He’d walk through the cube farm not looking to either side. Get his cup, walk back through to fill it. Take a sip, then start his good mornings.

That’s my view now. When I get up early and go out to breakfast, or to the grocery, it feels like I’m stealing a march on other people — almost as if I have the city streets to myself.
