Alright, I try and keep this here blog chirpy but I just need to get some things off my chest and maybe improve my mood.
A gyros is NOT made with a tortilla. I don't care what part of Greece you think you are from, do not sell me a gyros without the Pita. CAll it a Greek Burrito if you must but don't get my hopes all up and then dash them with a friggin tortilla. That's just wrong. Sick and wrong.
Next issue, WHAT is leaking from my car. It's not a lot, it doesn't seem to make the car run different. It doesn't seem to leak all the time and it does look or smell like anything familiar nor does it leak FROM anywhere particularly. Near the front right wheel. Just a little dampness every now and then. I can't aford to bring the car IN anywhere and they don't make adult car diapers that I know of.
AND FINALLY, WHY can't I get 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I'm not even asking for 8, 6 is fine, I just can't seem to get to sleep before 2 even when I'm tired and head to bed at midnight. It's starting to make me REALLY moody and my eyes really hurt. I feel like I could just hibernate for like 36 hours.
There now I feel better. Well not really, but I'm sure it will kick in soon.

Give "Zen and the Art of Motorcyle Maintenace" a shot.

I've been having a similar sleeping issue. Maybe it's the weather. I don't know. But I hate the eye-hurting symptom the most. I've been able to fall asleep, but I keep waking up at 5:30 or so and not REALLY getting back to sleep until right before my alarm goes off. I'm thinking I need to make my room darker maybe?

Oh Great and now Ihave an evil twin that I wasn't even sure REALLY existed and they are probably running all around ruing what little reputaion I have. GREAT! 
I did get some sleep last night finally and I find that I am MUCH better now. Maybe when I finish running around this week I can finish Fast Food Nation and then pick up a used copy of Zen and see what I'm missing in my life...Thanks!

Answers:
- gyros. I was always confused by "gyros", as they had always been called "Souvlaki" when I was in Oz. Turns out, I am not the only one confused. The best place for Souvlaki in Perth was "Plaka Shishkebab", and so I was so excited when I got to Plaka in Athens and ordered a Souvlaki. Unfortunately, the Plaka Souvlaki back home was much better, but I guess, less authentic!
- Leaking cars. Try not running the air conditioner, and I bet you will find that the problem goes away. Your A/C charge is probably low (because you run the A/C all the time 
), which causes the condensor to freeze - and the "leak" you see is the condensation and ice melting off the condensor.
- sleep. Because your body is telling you that it needs something else besides sleep. Unfortunately, the side effect is that it makes you sleepy, so you feel you need more sleep! Best solution for sleep problems - exercises. If you can't sleep, then get up and read, or go for a walk - much better than lying in bed not sleeping (but harder to do!)
That answer all of your questions?

You really are crusing for a brusing as they say. First you plan to go to Hawaii with out me, then you call me fat (Exercise!!!) and then you tell me I'm sleepy becase I need something else....hmmm maybe I need a vacation...too bad I'm not going to Hawaii...probably too fat to go anyway! I'd go for a walk it I had the luxury of not upsetting and worrying parents everytime I leave at 1 in the morning and come back 30 minutes later. I can see it now, "ARE YOU DOING DRUGS!!" You are a smart ass and you are fired. 
Flounce.
