Already have a pair, they're up in the air through as I just the other week had them regurgitated from my paddywagon due to impromptu clearance issues. Otherwise my lips are sealed as I'm too tired from today to create any drama here today.

Still kicking.
Should I hit the hay, because I'm just barely functioning mentally due to exhaustion atm?

Should I buy risers for my Kilo?
I've never ridden with risers, only bullhorns and drops, but I tend to ride like I have risers anyway, as well as the look of having risers has been growing on me as of late. I have been wanting bullhorns again, since I gave this kid on my local forums my 21's since they were too big for me, but haven't found a replacement pair yet.

I just feel like I will be lacking something with risers, given you really only have one hand position.
I also feel like I might eat **** for some reason.

You kind of have two hand positions. Putting your hands by the stem and bending your elbows can give you a good aero position for a headwind.
