For the past week, I’ve been falling asleep between four and six a.m., and getting up around noon’ish. That’s partly because of the evil ‘Spring-forward’ part of the Daylight Savings Time conspiracy, which was designed specifically to break my spirit.

I’ve been off from work since last Wednesday, in honor of all the students who are getting drunk and laid at various Texas beaches. Yes, when you work for a University, you also get the dregs of Spring Break. Without the drunk and laid part. At least, not in my case.

However, Spring Break does mean that I sleep and wake when I damn well please. I’ll pay for this self-indulgence starting tomorrow morning, when I return to getting up for work at seven a.m. Not that I’ll actually be conscious before ten.

I learned recently that it’s not just that I like to stay up all night and sleep all day.

I have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.

It’s a diagnosable medical disorder. However, unlike Brad, I don’t get a cool Darth Vader machine for it. There is no operation that will cure DSPS, and medication is generally ineffective. There are a few treatments, such as light therapy, but most people like me will have DSPS all of our lives.

I’d like to briefly depart from my usual Sunday post traditon. We seem to have had our share of chat about drugs and Rock ‘n Roll lately. It’s time to complete the holy menage a trois. Know what I mean, nudge nudge?

I’m finding myself wanting — no, needing — to make two comments about this post, without being able to logically justify them.

First, don’t click on the pic if you’re at work. Or around children. I can’t exactly explain why, even to myself. I think there’s a metaphor or something like that, sneaking around inside this short film. Y’all know that I have problems with interpeting the delicate subtexts sometime. Whatever. It strikes me as being the naughtiest film I’ve ever seen.

Second, this post must be dedicated to Erin O’Brien. Inexplicably, her spirit suffuses the entire clip.

The main site, The First Post, has lots of other cool films, too. Some of them NSFW. I haven’t watched them all yet, but about two-thirds of the ones I’ve seen so far have made me laugh out loud.

Here’s one that might entertain my nice friend Bradley: Amateur Drummer.

And, one for The Dude: Angry Pixels.

Last, we have the web site of the creator of ‘Roof Sex’. More good, twisted stuff there.

I don’t remember for sure, but I think I first got the link to this site from Rachael, Who Is Awesome.
