Hmm... dinner for me is the biggest meal of the day, unless I have a
"normal" internal clock, then it's between 1600 and 1800 and the only hot
meal of the day. Eventual restaurant-trips are later in the evening of
course, but if it's a fast-food place it's just a hot meal, and if it's
an expensive place where you're expected to look non-geek it's something
rare and special...

But usually, I simply eat "brinner", something, whether hot or cold,
after I get up, and keep snacking away at something until I keel over
around sunrise the next day... Get up at seven, *moi*? Oh, sure, seven in
the evening, now I'm with you :) Daylight is bad for ya anyways, hurts
the eyes... I've evolved (mutated? my skin seem greenish at times) to
depend on monitor-glare :)

My grandparents parents generation stood up with the sun, had dinner at
1200 and coffee/tea with cakes etc. at 1700, then went to bed as the sun
set. *weird* people :)


tal., with only one exam to go this semester, yay!
