From the Friday-isn’t-a-day-it’s-a-state-of-mind (so-I’m-not-really-late-with-this-thing) department: http://www.fridayfive.org/

1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings?
About 7:20-7:30 (30-40 minutes before the workday starts), though that’s typically after hitting the snooze button for an hour or so.

2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late?
Most usually. I typically will sleep in until sometime in the 9am hour; much later than that and my sleep-wake cycle gets off enough that going to sleep Sunday night (and, therefore, getting up for work on Monday morning) becomes a pain in the ass.

3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning?
Answer the call of nature.

4. How long does it take to get ready for your day?
On a workday? I’ve got the process down to 15-20 minutes (shower, shave, dress).
On a weekend when I want to take my time and relax? About 45 minutes.

5. When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast?
I actually like the little diner-type places, Denny’s and the like. It was a special occasion when, as a kid, I got to go with my dad and sister to IHOP (quiet time for my mom, I suppose). I guess the general vibe of that has stuck with me.
