Better living through chemicals

This is weird. I was up until 3:00 AM yesterday (or this morning technically). But I woke up at 9:30 feeling fairly alert. Normally I’m sloth-like at this stage. Heck, I was fairly alert at 3:00 AM. I can only assume that this is because I took an aspirin yesterday evening. The caffeine kicked in, and I’m still enjoying the bounty of unnatural chemicals.
I suppose this is what it is like if one drinks coffee. Alertness.
Still can’t stand the taste of it though. And am I right now someone I’m not? Bah, stupid philosophers.
