Question of the day: if you take a 30-minute nap at 11 PM and wake up six hours later, can you still legally call it a nap?
Yes, yes, I took a nap at 11 PM last night. I know that sounds stupid, but I was very tired, okay? It had been a long day. Well, not really, but it felt long because I only had around an hour of sleep before waking up at 8 AM to catch game 6 of the unexpectedly exciting Celtics-Hawks series.
In the afternoon, rain started pouring down moments after ArsenaL and I got to flag football practice late. Well, that sucked. And I was so eager to get back on the field after a three-week hiatus. I badly needed the exercise; my "beer" belly ("beer" is in quotes because I don't even drink beer) seems to be growing a bit more each day. It would have been fine if not for the fact than I'm as thin as a stick, and my bulging belly makes me look like an Ethiopian orphan (totally not cool unless Angelina Jolie would adopt me). The last thing I need is adding body image issues to my long list of mental problems.
Anyway, we watched Iron Man at SM Megamall and had dinner at Teriyaki Boy. I hadn't watched a movie at Megamall in years, and I'm happy to report that the place still sucks ass. They have the most uncomfortable seats with strangely sticky armrests (please let that be just a result of spilled soda... please).
I got home at around 10:30 PM and quickly got drowsy. So I set the alarm on my cell phone to go off in 30 minutes and plopped down face first on the bed. I was asleep in seconds.
I've recently replaced my cell phone's ugly rubber casing with a smooth plastic one. It looks great, but it also made the phone a bit slippery. The thing now slides randomly across my night table whenever it vibrates, which is what happens when the alarm goes off. Last night, as I sleepily groped around in an attempt to chase it down and stop the alarm, I apparently managed to somehow hit the remote control of my air conditioner enough times to turn the temperature all the way down to 16°C. Brrr.
At a little past 5 AM, I woke up shivering like an Ethiopian orphan with malaria. I had to run and make myself a steaming cup of instant coffee, which is quite a silly thing to do on a summer morning. But I'm all warmed up now, and I feel great. That 30-minute nap really did the trick.

Fuck! I knew it! Iron Man has a bonus scene after the end credits! Can't believe I missed it. Fuck.

Mica made a nice "tribute" video from iBlog4 chicken pictures, and I stole it. Yay! Go watch.
