My time of day is the dark time...

yeah. It's pushing on towards 2am. I'm going to be very unhappy when I have to get up at six-sevenish, but I'm just... awake. I guess if I haven't managed to conk out by four I'll just start pounding coffee and plan to totally crash when I come home from work tomorrow. Or this afternoon, as the case may be. Goddamn it. Why can't the whole damn world be on Swahili time? It would make explaining point in the future/past so much easier. Bah.

*sigh* I should find something useful to do. I've already jotted down a few notes for the story idea I toyed with on the bus home, and started the annoying process of shrink shopping again (though I was derailed by my insurance web site being down - I need a replacement card before I do anything in that direction). I suppose next stop: shower and/or dishes.

...s'gonna be a long night. And can I just say that nothing makes me miss NYC more than not having a 24 hour bodega/fruitstand/newsstand within spitting distance? Cause you know, them 3am cravings for apple danishes... and taking the ten minute walk to Sev's is just not the same.

Shower time.

Ah, but Swahili time has its own pitfalls, which is that in Swahili-speaking countries Swahili time only applies when you're speaking Swahili. When you're speaking English--which people there frequently do--you use English time. So you have to constantly add and subtract.

On the other hand, hourly time measurement in those countries also tends toward the optional side, so a lot of the time it's more of a ballpark estimate anyway.

Because we're far enough from the equator that there's a six hour swing in daylight length over the course of a year.

Also, who wants to learn a language as hard as Swahili?
