I should make a post. Time for lots of updates!
So I went for academic advising. It was a bit frustrating. They couldn't really tell me for sure if I need 1 more class that what I'm currently registered for, or not. So I'll maybe finish in spring? I was talking to the Dean of the Department as well, so I don't really know how I can escalate it to get any better answers. I might just take the class over the summer or something, if I have to. The longer I take, the less I'd have to pay work back if I leave. Not that big of a deal. Just very frustrating that they couldn't give me the answers I wanted.
I also finished my Bass project. Got all the electronics done, and have it strung and everything. I need to do some setup tweaking, like raising the action a bit, lowering the pick ups a bit, real minor things. I've been playing with it a bit though. The low B string is LOW. and with the drop trigger, it sounds pretty awesome. Definitely pushing the edge of audible tone. I have to retrain my hands though. I have some neat 3 octave things I can do now that my hands just can't find comfortable. I just have to start practicing with it more. Hopefully I can find a group to play it with. Nolto, get a live band together. We need to jam more.
Attached to that, it's still been crazy video game month. I hate that everything gets released to try and get in on the Christmas rush. As a result I have about 10 new games I've bought, and not finished. I have a lot of work to do, but I'll enjoy every bit of it. The one I want Nolto to rock with is Lips. It's a karaoke game, bu tyou can import songs from IPods, or network shares or whatever. I think it'll be a fun way fo rhim to learn his lyrics before a show. I have to start a binder of lyrics though for my basement, as it's not very good at finding them. Yet anyway. It doesn't help that some of the songs I'm doing are a bit obscure. (First song imported: Rain, from Cowboy Bebop)
I've been pretty busy at work too. Our biggest customer does this tech blackout thing all December, where they don't change anything for the month, so we've been rushing to try and get things done before that. Makes for hectic times.
On the sleep front (Don't know how many of you come here for that anymore) things are still good. I've moved my sleep setup inside to the server room, as it's colder here now. My morning nap has also slide a hair later, to closer to 9:15. Not a big deal. Due to time though, I'm running more of a 2 naps throughout the day, 23 minutes each, and about 4 hours at night. I have my afternoon nap around 3 or 3:30. I sometimes take an evening nap, if I'm getting worn out. It's still working well. I'd like to tighten it back up to 3 regular naps, and 3 hours, but I just seemed to miss my evening nap too much.
And that is all I can post. I have to head out to get lunch, and head to class right away here. I'll post some pictures of my bass later.

I still come by to see your polyphasic sleep posts.
Puredoxyk mentioned she'd be taking a hiatus from blogging about polyphasic sleep, so that would make you the only long term polyphasic blogger giving updates.
She mentions it on the last paragraph from this blog post.

Uh oh, I have to take the torch?
I can definitely see where PD is coming from. It's just routine now. Posting every week to say I'm still sleeping the same as I was gets old fast. There is only so many times I can say the same thing. If the fledgling Polyphasers don't catch most of what I have said, or PD wrote in her book, then he continuing to repeat it likely doesn't have merit either.
Don't take that as disinterest though. I am definitely approachable, and I know PD is as well. Any Polyphasers reading this who would like to ask questions to some of us more veteran folks, comment here, or email me, or anything. I am more than willing to answer anything I can.
Hi! New reader on your blog here.
I was first directed to your blog because of the poly log... and still read it for the occasional updates. It's hard for newbies on the polyphasic scene to get an idea of the adoption of a polyphasic cycle because so many blogs abruptly end after a month of logging. I'm impressed by sleepers such as PD and yourself who have kept a 6+ months schedule.
P.S. can't wait for those pics of your bass
