I just realised I'm a total caffeine addict. Which revelation surprised me, since I don't drink coffee (except a mocha maybe once a month) and I don't drink soda (except root beer maybe once a month). But I do drink tea. Oh, do I. From morning to early afternoon when I'm mathing, I average one cup of tea an hour, for three or four hours; and I'd drink more if I didn't make an effort to cut myself off. Then I have another at tea time. (These days I usually have lapsang souchong.) On days when I don't go in, I'm usually too lazy to make tea, and I'm infinitely more sluggish. Like today. Until I had a mocha at Victrola while thinking about de Rham cohomology on compact Lie groups, when I suddenly transformed into a quivering bundle of intellectual fabulosity. It's all so clear, don't you see? Ah ha ha ha ha! Ha ha! Invariant p-forms! Cyborg zombie Alaska gay love story!

Ho ho.

Maybe I'm a total math addict. Maybe I'm hooked on both.
