Ah, crud. Now **I’m** the one who’s drunk 2 liters of Coke. I got slapped with an emergency legal research question, due at noon tomorrow, so I need to burn the midnight oil on that one. On top of that, I REALLY need to study for my Professional Responsibility exam next week. So my sugar levels are through the roof right now, inspired by reading **leechbabe** ’s post last night. Thanks, hon. ::::boing boing boing::::: ---

All this makes me very happy that the only thing which kept me going for 37.5 hours in a row last summer was one 600 mL bottle of Jolt Cola. (or was that the times I stayed up till 5:30 AM, then crashed? I can’t remember) I don’t think I could even entertain the thought of drinking 2 L of Coke, in one sitting. Maybe if I really had to, but so far I don’t need to. **leechbabe** and **Res** : goiod luck on your respective projects. However, I will NOT quaff enormous amounts of Coke for you people… I need my sleep for one more day of energy. F\_X ---

Geez. I did the opposite last night. A quick reminder of why it’s not a good idea to mix beer and painkillers. I had two beers with dinner, which normally has bugger-all effect on me. But I’d forgotten I’d taken some Veganin (chock full of codeine goodness) for a toothache. I felt like Lisa Simpson when she drank the water at Duff Gardens. I was just wandering around talking shit to people (well, more than usual), and feeling all expansive and philosophical. Zoinnnng!!! ---

Good luck with your project **Res** mebe the caffine + sugar rush will garner you another high mark 🙂 **TLD** you weren’t operating heavy machinery during that time were you? ---
