The problem with sleeping all day is that you don't sleep at night. Not that the noisy Japanese girls helped, coming in at 3am, then back and forth to the bathroom from 5am to 7am. I went for breakfast at 7.45am, then went to see if I could log into Blogger. Still couldn't. Decided to Google myself, since Gavin said he'd found my site. So I typed …
