Summer All-Nighter

Once a summer, I end up pulling an all-nighter. The past few years, it's been because I wanted to go out with friends and, because I have to get up at six for work, I'd just stay up instead of hitting the sack at around three in the morning. This year, I'm doing it because of an essay. I guess that goes to show how wild my summer's been, huh?

Anyway, I finished my essay over two hours ago, so I've just been kicking around for a while. Since I now have about an hour before I have to "get up", I thought I'd make a list of things to do when you're pulling a solitary all-nighter.

• Drink caffeine based beverages - a no brainer, really. I've been drinking Nescafe French Vanilla Ice Java. It goes down smooth.
• Catch up on your reading - I read a little bit of Bret Easton Ellis' Glamorama. It's fantastic so far...this summer has been chalk full of great reads for me.
• Surf Ebay - To celebrate the return of the NHL, I was browsing the hockey cards (I was a big time collector as a kid). I bid two bucks each on a pair of cards that are worth $25 a piece.
• Play games on your phone - I have a bowling game that's pretty much impossible.
• Poke your cat while he tries to sleep - Less fun if you don't have a cat. Then you're just some crazy person poking random objects.
• Fashion a design from a paper clip - I made a...er...cool paper clip art thingy.
• Keep checking the window - Yep, the sun's starting to come up...
