Potatoes for Breakfast

Everyone probably knows that potatoes work really well as a sleep aid. Warm milk is on the list as number one. Why, then, does the typical American breakfast have a whole lot of potato in the meal. Think McDonald's. Tater tots, potato hash, French fries, mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes. Okay, not necessarily the last three, but definitely tater tots and potato hash.

Now that I've had the benefit of eating a hearty breakfast everyday before going to class, I've only now learned my lesson now to eat any of enticing tater tots for breakfast at Cook House. Yeah. I'm going to try to avoid potatoes in the morning.

(I was craving potatoes last night, which satiated me well.)

Monday Morning Blues

Good morning.

I did not finish what I needed to finish last night. I stayed up late working on MatLab code, and I was stuck trying to get the error checks on the user's input just right. It took more over four hours. Goddammit. We need a user's manual for the program too, so that needs to get done.

This morning, I was reminded that the Canon Rebel XSi is due on this month. It seems is it finally rolling out, and Camera Labs has posted a inital review here. I'm trying to decide between the XSi and the 40D. the XSi is much cheaper and generally sufficient for my needs, but 40D has better performance overall, better build quality, and it has bad-ass-ness that the XSi does not have.

What did you have for breakfast? I did not have any this morning. Not even water. [Sad face goes here.]
