Getting doped, the dope-less way

Step 1 – Wake up late on a Sunday morning, say 11.
Step 2 – Do nothing for the rest of the day, except perhaps blog, eat, watch TV
Step 4 – Call up friend and ask him if he’s coming for a play
Step 3 – Confirm you can still get tickets to play
Step 5 – Spend a few more hours doing zilch in terms of productivity
Step 6 – Go to play
Step 7 – Laugh, cry, curse the bloody old auditorium for their stupidly narrow seats, aisles, faulty air-conditioning
Step 8 – Go with friend to Mocha
Step 9 – Drink loads of Coffee
Step 10 – Come back home
Step 11 – Have a bad ass cold that blocks up your nose, swells up your tongue
Step 12 – Stay awake in bed feeling your tongue slip (physically, not otherwise) into your throat
Step 13 – Wake up with a start for you can’t breathe – your tongue’s blocking the highway
Step 14 – Unable to sleep, switch on the computer and perform maintenance operation, run virus-checks, check obscure e-mail id you created when you were a pimply teenager.
Step 15 – Blog
Step 16 – Write stupid, illogical mail to three blogger friends
Step 17 – Stay awake till 5 in the morning
Step 18 – Come to office at 8:30
Step 19 – Stare sleepily at office computer
Step 20 – Congratulations, you are doped.

    Terence Malick, it was! How could I have not remebered that? I guess I was already doped when we had that lengthy discussion at my gate (step 9.7- which you forgot to mention).

    Some of us are always a bit dopey whether or not we had enough sleep. Hang on is being dopey and doped the same thing?
