In continuing my recent meta-fetish, I can't help but notice something odd:
It's 3:30 eastern time. And I'm on a frakkin' blog.
I've got a really nice bed. My recently deceased grandmother (we had the memorial earlier today up in Connecticut, buried her on Friday) bought my wife and me a great mattress as a wedding present. Simmons Beautyrest, queen size. Adorable wife and pit bull keeping it warm.
Yet here I sit, typing and watching a TiVoed candidate forum of mind-numbing tedium.
So I admit I don't have a good excuse for being awake. What's yours?
There's nothing good on TV. The traffic here slows down incredibly at this hour. Are we all waiting for a phone call about a major crisis to show our mettle or what?
Anyhow, having no real sense of what would make blog junkies like us decide to stay up and surfing at this hour, I'm including a sleep-cycle poll.
Feel free to explain in the comments what the hell you're doing out of bed, and what the next thing you have to be awake for is.

[update]So about 3 minutes after I posted this diary someone posted this one, explaining in great detail what they're doing up at 3 AM.
