Only the freakiest and sad commercial ads are on late at night. You know, the ones for erectile disfunction, money issues, pills for overweight people that coincidentally should only be used with exercise and a healthy diet, and those for phone sex with local singles. I think they think that only weird or troubled people are up at midnight. Maybe that's true.

I was up until 1:30 last night researching about flintlock and matchlock pistols along with how to forge swords. All of this was for my story, though.

And then you decided to make it a breach-loader. XP
I was up until 10:30 pm. At 10:00 pm I found out that half of my classes for next semester were cancelled, leaving me quite angry. I then went to sleep, as I wanted eight hours of sleep for once.
Late-night commercials rock. Especially the ones about the bowel-cleansing treatments. They try to play around the fact that they're talking about feces and the like. *chuckles*

Let me explain that. I wrote the prologue before I did the research. Besides, it is a rough draft. If it were my final draft it would be at Fictionpress. I shall make a change in the prologue about the weapons. I'm not going to use flintlock or matchlock, but rather percussion caps. They suite my needs quite well.

*goes to reply in your story thread* Don't want to clutter this one up, ya know?
Every once in a while you get a rogue commerical like these that run in the middle of the day, though. Take, for instance once more, the bowel-cleansing treatments. I saw a commercial for this at 4:00 am. I also saw one (a different brand) at 3:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon. Odd stuff.
