Day 164, Major overdue update

I am so bad at checking / updating this blog.
It's largely because I feel like my liife is so normal and uneventful now. I'm approaching the 1/2 a year mark of my polyphasic sleeping. I'm still enjoying it. I'm finding I'm wasting a lot more of my extra hours lately, because I just am running out of things I want to do. That said, I am still working 40 hours a week, and taking 2 university courses, and playing about a gig a week with various musical groups, and I've starteed playing hockey about twice a week. So I guess considering how busy I'm keeping myself, I'm doing quite well.
I'm finding now that I have fallen into a somewhat variable pattern. I NEED my naps at 9am, and 2:30pm. I get extremely tired like 5 minutes before those. My evening nap is a little more variable. Sometime I'm not tired at all, and I skip it, and sleep from 12:30 to 5, and sometime I take it and sleep 2-5. Depends what else I need to get done, and what's going on around the house. The nice thing is I can seem to flip between those two schedules without any bad effects.
I'm also finding on some weekends, I like to "sleep in". I essentially just take an extra 30 minute nap whenever I feel like it, or extend a nap by an hour or so. I find usually it's my 9 am nap, as I've been up for awhile already, and not working, and thus somewhat getting bored of myself around the house. It's as much to kill time until my roomies are up to entertain me as it is for resting purposes.
I still very seldom feel tired. I still think I'm getting more productive hours in a day. I'm still loving it.
And that's another rare, major update.

I have a blog!

and I realy suck at updating it.
It's been exactly 2 weeks now. I apologize.
Lately I've been busy though. It's hard to work for 40 hours a week, while attending two classes. Now that labs and assignments have started, I'm sinking a lot of time there too. Add my required weekly tv shows (Survivor, Beauty and the Geek, Heroes, the Office, My Name is Earl, Naruto) and I don't have a ton of time, even with my crazy sleep schedule.
I've also felt a little under the weather for the last week and a bit. I've been trying to get a bit more sleep than usual to help recover from that. There's been a bunch of bugs going around work though, so I'm still sitting in better shape than a lot of my co-workers. As a result though my core sleep is closer to 4.5 hours most nights now. Which kind of sucks, but I'm still down to about 5.5 hours of sleep a day, which does give me some more time than a normal sleep schedule. Hopefully I feel back up to 100% soon, and can drop back down to a 3 hour core.

New Radiohead album came out today. I've been enjoying it. And the Orangebox came out, which is a package deal of like 5 super awesome games. So I'll have to find some time to play through those... May be challenging.

Alas though, I need to get to work. I have to set up a test to run for a week straight, and need to confirm a feature works by the end of the day today. Sigh.
