Hooray for consciousness

Went to bed around 7:30 pm. Got back up at 12:30 am. You know, there was a time when I could sleep 16 hours at a time. Four, though? Blows. Spent two hours just trying to sleep again before work. Gave up. Am using my last calendar-year-day-off today. Was saving it just in case it snowed again.

Not that I can't drive in the snow, no, call it more a deep fear of everyone else on the highway. The same people who gleefully stay in the left-hand lane the length of the Interstate. Blinkers? Whassat? Mutter. And thus "Vice City" becomes wish fulfillment.

And kudos and danke and assorted w00ts to opheliasclone for breaking in my LJ. No longer simply shouting into the void. Hrm. Gonna have to pay attention to grammar, then.

Ditto marks, ditto marks

C'mon. Guess how my day went. I used my last day off for this calendar year to stay home and catch up on sleep. Did it work? Ffft.

The worst part is tonight has been scheduled for weeks to go out with the gang to some movie about some ring. Maybe you've heard about it. Under ordinary circumstanced I'd be, how you say, "stoked." I'm just miserable for leaving the house, and that's not a good cue for starting a night of revelry. If there's a trailer for "Ambien: The Musical" I'm taking the keys and going home.

It's no wonder I didn't get an LJ before now. Same old thing. Whine, moan, can't sleep, blather blather. I'm trying not to be one-note. I could gripe about chest pains and the fact that I've had two bowls of cereal in the last 24 hours and I'm not the slightest bit hungry. And they weren't that big. They were Fruity Pebbles, though, so perhaps that is the source of my powers. Either that or this planet's yellow sun. Not sure which. I'll have to talk to the lab 'bout that.

And Lore's updating the Book of Ratings again. About time. If you've not discovered it before, ferret through the archives and you'll not want for something to read on the Internet for a good long time.

Projects: a DVD for Angela featuring a very "South Park" intro, and a calendar for Dad. 'Cause I meant to do one last year and never got around to it. And that's as far as I am this year. Rrrrr.

Quick, before sleep

Movie good. Ambien also. More later.
