But after that: Well, I think I passed out again, having gone another 24 hours without sleep. I was happy, though, because I didn't have to do it again, see. And then we went out and it was a bit of a wash, except for when I won at pool despite being, uh, not at the optimal sobriety level for geometrical calculations.
