I don't know how much caffeine is in Starbucks Iced Coffee Italian Roast Light, but I am higher than a freaking kite right now. And not one of those Charlie Brown stuck in a tree kites, one of those crazy high-altitude kites that I may have just made up in my head. Like, sitting here rocking back and forth wondering if I should eat my own hand high--and I drank it 6 hours ago. Still, I supposed it's better than drinking six gin and tonics in an hour.
At least this means I'll probably be awake for Home Improvement, which CBS has been showing Sunday morning, 1 a.m. reruns of for about 3 years. And that's a little random to me, but whatever. I'd type more, but the letters keep coming out before they should, and I keep having to hit the delete key. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Did you know that that typing test uses every letter of the alphabet? Did you know that we use our left hands more than our right hands when we type, if we type the QWERTY way? In fact, we type about 56% of the time using our left hands. A few years ago, I noticed this when I invented a little game at work. I'd take a sentence or a word, and I'd guess which hand would "win" when I typed it out. Then I'd type it and count how many times I used my right hand, and how many times I used my left. Good times.
It's a little like the "F9" game I have now. On Mac computers, if you press F9, you can see all the windows you have open at once. (I'm not sure about PCs, as I am a MAC user exclusively.) I like to guess how many windows I have open, then press F9. If I'm within 4, I'm good. IF I'm not, I have to close or open the correct number of windows as quickly as possible or something terrible will definitely happen. I'm pretty good at this game.
Did you know that you can type STAR WARS using only your left hand? So, if you should find your right hand chopped off in a lightsaber battle, and the bogus health insurance you bought off a dishonest JAWA won't cover a state-of-the-art prosthetic like Luke Skywalker had, you can still type STAR WARS with your left hand.

Are you sure it was just caffeine that you've been partaking of, Carli? Your post sounds pretty out there.
I've never had an iced coffee so I don't know how much punch they pack, but it sure sounds like the octane level is way up there!
Michele sent me to check on you, Carli!
Yeah, Utenzi, sounds more like booze to me...LOL
I didn't know that we type more with our left hands than with our right. Then why does my right arm and wrist feel raw from blogging?
Michele sent me.
Nope. No booze today. I had about two sips some rancid punch last night (seriously. . . diet generic "UP Lemon" Soda, Tropicana lemonade, and Malibu rum), but nothing today, and nothing usually.
This puts a whole new slant on "go fly a kite!" That's cool about star wars. I can type it really fast! michele sent me.
LOL Sorry, Carli. HappyJack set me straight!
I just found out that dark roasts contain less caffeine even though they look stronger. The longer the coffee is roasted, the more caffeine is burnt out of it. The "green" beans are the strongest.
Of course, I prefer tea.
Computer says I posted my last comment at 12:50 am. This is about 7 hours off. Why?
Don't trust happyjack. Why do you think they call him "happy"jack?
The time is correct in "The Carli Zone!"

Dude, that is fun! I'm convinced Starbucks has some secret mega-caffeine ingredient they are using to keep us all addicted.
