just another early morning
After not sleeping much the night before, and then staying up until the wee hours watching Code Geass, it seemed likely I could defeat this stupid waking up before the alarm. Especially as I had not bothered to set an alarm.

For once, my brain did not wake me up early: it relied on some hardwired backup system. So nine minutes before the alarm would have gone off on a normal day, some nerve cell fired in my leg, constricting the nearby muscles, which panicked other nerve cells, which constricted more muscle, and so on in a cascading failure -- or at least that is how I assume sudden muscle cramps occur. It made me wish that I kept a really sharp axe near my bed so I could simply chop off the offending limb.

It seems like today would be a good day to search online for body upgrade plans. Being a biological thing rather than a technological thing, there is a slight chance that I am not yet several versions behind and would not be forced to purchase a whole new system. The memory transfer to a new body would take decades, assuming that the newer versions can still deal with acoustic couplers, and even then my interface is lossy.

Bah. I'll just find a heating pad, take some extra vitamins, and hope that that helps update my virus definitions.

Happy scary rabbit day, by the way. You know: the rabbit that somehow carries a basket, somehow lays eggs even though it is a mammal, and scatters those eggs all around for omnivorous predators to pick up. It is definite proof against evolution, for how else could such a creature manage to reproduce?
