Insomnia
Sitting here at 1:50 am after a disorienting day brought on by too much sleep one night and not enough for the rest of the week, watching a strange montage of cinematic produce blur across the screen as I edit some of my work and help a friend with her resume, all the while chatting on MSN and surfing movie websites...
Had "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" on before, with Gene Wilder, and suddenly that Family Guy episode with the beer factory tour makes so much more sense. From that I moved over to "Secretary", which I started watching sometime last year when I downloaded it off the 'net while living in Seoul. Somehow never got around to watching it, just skimmed through, decided it looked unusual enough to sustain my interest and that I'd have to check it out sometime. Burned it to CD, but now I really couldn't say if that disk is here in Texas or in South Africa.
Hmm... probably best if my parents don't randomly stumble onto that one. Having them watching all my Simpsons episodes is all cool, but I'm not sure how they'd take that one. Maggie Gyllenhaal was a delight, though. Remarkably expressive and subtle performance.
So, let's see, that get's an 8... and I'd better rate "Willy Wonka ..." on IMDB, too.
And before that was the TV series of "Ghost in the Shell" - disappointing. Just a cop show. No philosophical edge, nothing distinctive except the futuristic setting. Now the movie sequel... That'll be worth watching.
Damn, who'd have thought Texas would get this cold in winter? My feet are freezing.
(finally done with the MSN conversation)
Something else has come on now, but I didn't catch the title... looks like it has Johnny Depp in it, though, so it can't be too bad. Something about a writer?
...but it's late enough that I must try to get some sleep. Joseph and his wife are leaving tomorrow, so I'll have to get up to take them to the airport. Then 11 days by myself over Christmas...
But at least my Mexico trip is booked - that's an accomplishment for the day. 3 nights in Cancun... something to look forward to. Now, if only I can get my job sorted out, I'll be able to afford it.
Damn, I hate insomnia. Never quite awake, never quite asleep. Not tired, not alert either. Simply existing, in a state of suspended consciousness.
As the cold creeps up to my knees.
Should get up to get a blanket, but that's too much activity. My fingers are a blur across the keyboard, the words pouring out, but getting up out of the chair seems like far too much work.
Well, paradoxes are common at 2:16am.
What time is it in Australia? Are they happy with the work I sent them? I hope so. I hope that thing really gets off the ground. That would be nice. An idea born on the streets and in the bars and up the mountains of Korea, coming to fruition and bringing in the ships of everyone involved. And it's only because of that business that I'm even on this site!
Just popped in to check on the formatting, 'cause they said it was a good site layout. Which it was, I guess, since it pulled me in like a fish. I'll have to get some pics...
Johnny Depp is talking about going to sleep and taking a nap, and I agree with him. That's all the cold feet that this scribbler can take for tonight.
Have to send a reply to Oz first, though...
