So it turns out that actual food doesn't play much of a part in people's morning rituals anymore. In fact, more people preferred drugs to food in the morning, with espresso being the drug of choice. My favorite reply was:

"Bleary eyed stumble into the shower...out... Expresso and cigarette... 8a.m. news... Expresso and cigarette... Dressed... work...hungry now... croissants and, you guessed it, Expresso"

Other rituals included:

• roll out of bed -> smoke a bowl -> shower (and smoke second bowl) -> out the door, smoking third bowl and 2 cigarettes on the way to work.
• 2 shots of espresso and a scone for social value, then walk to work with friends and partner
• donuts every weekday [Mmm... krispy kreme...]
• bananas
• No breakfast
• I don't eat breakfast
• Who are you people? Nobody I know eats breakfast anymore.

Personally, I wake up when my cat decides it's funner to stand on my chest than sleep by my side, I hit the snoose alarm (ie. scratching her behind her ears until she decides it's a good idea to lie down for another catnap, get up and go to the bathroom, check email, stocks, and slashdot, take my shower, dress, check email again, feed & water Kisa, clean litterbox, take off, and get my ritualistic large chai and cranberry scone at the corner coffeehouse before heading off wherever.
