staying awake for “awake”

There might be too many puns available for NBC’s newest 10PM drama Awake. But rest assured, this is not a show to sleep on. Hopefully NBC’s ratings dreams might come true with this one. Okay, I’m done for now.

Seriously, from the pilot episode alone, I’m hooked onto this show. I’ve been waiting for this show to air since I saw trailers last summer but having seen an episode, it makes it all that much more official. Maybe I’m still going through an Inception thing, but dream studies have always been an interest of mine.

Before I get into ratings jargon or what it means for NBC, I’ll explain what the show’s about and why I think you should watch it. (more…)

is it considered "insomnia" when you’re on vacation?

Filed under: Christmas,Friends,mac,music,poetry,scripts,sleep,writing — t. sterling @ 11:32 am

I’m wondering why I’m still awake at this un-ungodly hour (it’s almost 7 in the AM)… But then I remembered, I didn’t go to sleep the night, or morningish before until about 5 in the AM. Furthermore, I didn’t awaken until about 3 in the afternoon. Okay, actually I woke up from about 10 to 10:30 to talk to a friend on one of her breaks… but other than that, I stayed unconscious for most of the daylight hours.

I’m considering this an “unofficial” post because I wanted to do a “Christmas present wrap-up” (wow, that was an unintended pun)… I was going to accompany it with pictures, but you guys know how lazy I am with the pictorials. It’s so bad right now, the camera doesn’t even have battrees in it. I hope I didn’t promise pictures of the snow. It’s almost gone. And could you believe the crazy New England weather we’re having and about to have? SIXTY DEGREES ON SUNDAY. What the stank is that about?

Anyway, I thought I’d give an update as to how my script is going. It’s not. I bought myself an early Christmas present that arrived Christmas Eve. “What could this be?”, a curious nosy person might ask. Well, I’ll tell you. Remember a couple weeks ago with the first trailer trash post with the last trailer being that of next year’s Watchmen? Well sometime after that post until about 3 hours ago, I previewed the original graphic novel, Amazonned it, waited patiently (for once), unboxed it, and read it within 3 days. December 24th to 26th. Technically 4 days, but I slept most of the 26th.

Hey, I just gotta say… That is an awesome story right there. And now I’m ecstatic to see this movie. If there is a midnight showing, I think I may show up to that. I pretty sure I donned some geek points for this too… but whatever. Still not big on comic books, but this one’s different. It has an end. AND now I understand why many felt that this comic was unfilmmable. Man… I can’t wait to see this.

So due to my reading this, with a mix of holiday festivities, I haven’t done much writing. That should hopefully resume tonight (Saturday) or the latest Sunday night. My other issue was getting my CD/DVD drive on ol’ Silver to work. I think I broke it somehow when I was trying to burn a multi-disc collection for a friend of mine. This suck worse than spoiled milk already poured into the cereal. I had one disc burnt already, and had 4-5 left to do. I can’t explain what happened (partly because I don’t know) but I tried everything I can do that doesn’t cost money. I already admitted to being a geek, but my skills couldn’t crack this problem and that saddens me. I’m considering the Geek Squad. It’s where I go when I can’t fix something I broke. But it’s weird… I can fix other computers… but mine? I’m at a loss.

So I’ve got one week to do some damage to a script. I’ll extend it until January 4th. I kinda can’t wait because it was torture listening to Fall Out Boy and not jotting down a few lines… and as we speak I’m finally really listening to The Roots’ Rising Down and feeling the rap schemes fall over me. In my head, taking their versus apart in slow motion allowing me to see/hear/understand why their lines/raps/verses are so hot, and how I might possibly be able to write my own. Still a craft I’m honing in on. My goal: to make a reader/hearer’s face wrinkle up/frown or make them say “wow” or “whoa” and even “that’s [any positive slang]” …but I also still dig getting my sense of humor in my poetry as well AND telling stories. Perhaps I’ll devote March or April to coming up with some really good material.

In the meantime, I must continue to hit the scripts. It’s not that I’m creatively stuck. If anything, I’m more inspired to write other things… but with scripts I feel I’m more productive with a plan. I need to have the characters written out first. At least the major ones. I can always add or change some later. I already know “The Writing Retreat” has some weak points in it, but you know what? I’m not worried about that right now. I just need it “complete” then I will do some tightening. I also have been assembling a team of readers. I have 2 and a possible 3rd who would probably be interested.

Anyone else interested in giving me critical critiquing of some scripts I’ve worked or working on, let me know and I be sure to send you what I have looking for some honest advice. I won’t be sending anything until January… so there isn’t a rush. Well, not for you.

I think I’m feeling sleep come on. I think I will “nap” since I think I’m going to get a phone call at 9 or 10 this morning to hang out. And I actually want to go places tomorrow like maybe dine at IHOP for the last time until the new one close to home opens and price shop a Mac at an Apple store. Yes yes y’all!

how i can’t wait to not leave the house

Filed under: babbling,blogging,cheese,Christmas,food,office,popcorn,scripts,seinfeld,sleep,snow,the mart,weather,winter,writing — t. sterling @ 9:56 pm

iTunes and I aren’t getting along this week. Fortunately it’s not stopping iSaac from giving me my awesome tunes, but I can’t burn any CDs and I’m a quest–no… a mission to fix this problem so I can share in my musical joy with others who’d like a copy of one of a kind mixes apparently only I know how to mix. But let that not stop me from continuing my trek of trailers I adore. Even though it’s the holiday season, you’d think I’d do something festive for my friPod iPick. HA! I probably would, but no.

I’d also lament about my job’s recent layoffs and I’d like to thank God for sparing my job when a few people I know were let go. Yeah, this bad economy is hitting close to home for everyone. It also gave me yet another boost, or a push, or an increase of motivation to complete a script or two ASAP. With that, I began the script for “The Writing Retreat” (working title until I find the symbols I’m looking for). So you can believe I do count, appreciate and cherish each and every blessing I have in my life. The holiday season has nothing to do with it, I’ve always been like that.

How about an honorable mention? Fall Out Boy’s newest album is indeed pretty enjoyable. I also recently acquired The Roots latest effort but I haven’t listened to it. It takes about 48 hours for me to move on from something new that I like. Sometimes longer. Speaking of newness, I now have Seinfeld season 5. Yes yes y’all! Oh, and to accompany it, Scene It: Seinfeld Edition. I don’t want to play it yet because I only have 4 seasons of supreme knowledge. I also don’t have many people to play with me. :o ( Nevertheless, it’d be a game well enjoyed soon enough.

Lastly, New England is finally getting REAL snow. A good ole’ fashioned snow storm. It just started as I type. I’ll brush up on my photography skills and post a few “Christmassy” photos later. And by later I mean hopefully by or before Monday.

But so far, my vacation has been everything I dreamed. Falling asleep in the living room at 10pm and waking up to this a few hours later…

To help put you in the frame of mind I was in, I woke up around 2:30-2:45 and remained severely puzzled for the next minute as I recovered from groggy confusion and waked-upness. Really, it was a massive “what… the… stank!?” moment for me and I was a little too nervous about going back to sleep at that point. But I eventually came to my senses and changed the channel to something familiar, then went to bed… only I couldn’t fall asleep so I watched a movie while I ate a bowl of Cocoa Pepples, ground beef and a bag popcorn (not all together… but yes, those were consumed in the span of 3 hours).

And today I ventured to the Mart and my local DVD rental chain and encountered disgustingly long lines everywhere. I do not like it. These lines were preparations for a deadly last minute Christmas gifts, Christmas dinner and looks-like-we’ll-be-snowed-in food and movies. I think it’s a New England thing, but I could be wrong.

Well, I’m off to work on other written works, and eventually take a long winter’s nap until I’m called to shovel out the driveway like we’re about to go somewhere (we aren’t). We go in shifts just to keep up with the snow. It’s better to shovel less snow by shovelling more frequently, no? I better charge up iSaac.

indoob goes twitter

Filed under: babbling,blogging,facebook,pizza,pizza hut,sleep,writing — t. sterling @ 10:15 am

I’ve given in to another trend of the times. I keep hearing about this Twitter business, so I started one mere moments ago. I don’t have many friends on it right now. In fact, the 1st guy I don’t even know but sent me a friend’s request on Facebook about a year ago. I still haven’t accepted. Anyone else familiar with an Uncle Shag? He’s not my uncle. I don’t know who the stank he is. Maybe he created Twitter? I don’t know.

What I do know is that it’s way later than I’m normally awake and that’s because I fell asleep from around 10pm to 1am. Oh yeah, it was a wild Friday night for me indubitably. I won’t get into details of the unadulterated events. Actually, prior to my late night nap I had a fun day eating Stuffed Crust pizza with a belated birthday girl, venturing the mall with their pre-Christmas sales, coming home to do 2 hours of overtime work, then watching Tropic Thunder with commentary by the stars. Oh, and there was some mountain climbing and paintball gunning involved too. Lies. All of it were outright lies and I apologize. But hey, to get to my Twitter thingy just remember twitter.com/indoob so go check on it from time to time.

In any event, here I am blabbing away as usual about nothing in particular. Except about my new Twitter which I can now update via my phone. Actually, I’m able to update this blog with my phone, but I think with Twitter, it’s built with text messages in mind, whereas regular blogs are not. Still, you can catch my latest up-to-date adventures on the side bar, and feel free to follow me and I may be inclined to follow you if you have one. I may actually be doing something worth Twittering about, which may find it’s way in the next blog entry I write. Even if it doesn’t, it’s great for nosey people or those who just want a one sentence response to “what are you doing?” I’ll refrain from bathroom adventures unless of course my pyromania returns and I feel the urge to light something on fire in the bath tub. I no longer have pictures of my last bout of excitement, but it was fun. It was also a good use to get rid of bad cologne.

Before I go, check out CommonCraft.com and their videos to break down things in simple terms for people like you and me to understand. They have a video about Twitter which encouraged me… So give it a look-see. Also, check out KarenJLloyd.com who is an expert storyboard artist, which I am beginning to feel is an under appreciated field once you realize how important this job is to the filmmaking process. I’m mentioning these two sites because they are further encouragement to me on how to tell better stories. More so Karen’s blog than CommonCraft, but she explains that you can tell a really good story with stick figures, and CommonCraft gets the point across very effectively. Hey, I give props where props are due. (Plus she gave me a plug on her blog, it’s about time I mention hers). And I think in December, I’ll start work on a new writing project and seriously commit some time to completing my next script or scripts. I must remember to start small. Then, with my arsenal of scripts, I could rule the world! Muahahaha! Wow, I need to go to bed…

votember 4th

Filed under: politics,sleep,writing — t. sterling @ 2:57 pm

Hey. Um… If you haven’t already, go out and vote. If you don’t, then you don’t have the right to complain about anything. I don’t know about you, but even though I don’t complain much (except for here), I at least want my right to complain. At least I can say about our current president that I did not vote for him.

I‘m really sleepy for some reason. I’m not sure who I can complain to about that problem.

And due to my sleepiness, I wish I was a full-time paid writer. That way, I can sleep whenever I want (almost), and then wake up to tap away at my computer creating lovely stories/poems/etc.

On a related note, I’m re-titling my “Writing Retreat” project to “Three 1/2 Stars”. Unfortunately, I can’t find any stars in a font. I’ve searched every webding and wingding I have… and nothing. Asterisks don’t work for what I want either. Sigh. Oh well, I’ll deal with it later. The story is more important than the title anyway.

But back to the topic at hand… ‘Tis election day. Do your civil duty! Well, just as long as you are allowed to. Like… if you are 17 you are exempt, or if you’ve been in jail, or if you live in another country, or if you cease to exist. If you don’t fit those categories… VOTE! Or I will beat you up. Friday. 3PM at the flagpole. That’s not a threat.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say “Yes we can!”

i <3 monday!

Filed under: bacon,breakfast,dreams,eggs,fickette mcsavvy,marx bros,movie,noah madison,office,retreat,scripts,sleep,WAH,writing — t. sterling @ 5:59 pm

My brain is severely scattered today. I’ve managed to complete about 7 files… which isn’t too bad, especially for how I’ve been feeling these past few Mondays. Plus my day isn’t nearly over. I’d much rather remain asleep and start work on Tuesday. But that won’t work because then Tuesday becomes the new Monday. It’s a terrible cycle. Too many distractions. Right now, my grandmother is preparing something that looks like apple crisp. It looks delicious even without being cooked yet. But I feel not-so-good due to a hefty breakfast I made myself this morning. It was good, but maybe a little too good. AND I’m a little sleepy from reading too much into all five of the Saw movies. I’ve only seen the first two… And those movies I’m not really into. I don’t care much for gore and torture. But with my overactive imagination, I read the plots to all 5 movies, and how the devices worked and what happened to all the victims. I did that for about 2-3 hours before I realized I should get some sleep… but I was a bit too terrified to do so because images like to playback in my dreams making it a little too real for me. SO after watching some Marx Brothers movies and a few Sudoku and solitaire games later, I was off to sleep with no torture-related nightmares. My waked-up time was between 6 and 7 am, and I didn’t fall asleep until about 3 am. Yay!

Prior to my research into dreary doomland, I hopped back into my screenwriting chair and formatted a previously written script into a more professional-looking one. When I’m in a zone (or away from a computer that has Final Draft), I’ll write a rough draft in MS Word, and just use a format I always see in high school or church plays:
BILLY: I ate a rock.
TIMMY: That’s too bad.
BILLY: I know. (cries)
It’s only 4 pages, but it tells quite a story. I strived for realism in the dialogue, and after having someone read through it, I think I achieved that much. Unlike what I usually write, this is on the dramatic/sad side. It’s about the break up of an affair between a guy and a girl who have a secret to share with each other. Hey, it’s only 4 pages, I can’t give everything away.

I feel like working on one of the last projects I started back on my last writing retreat… which is coincidentally titled “The Writing Retreat.” Guess what it’s about! That’s right… making apple crisp. Well, after sitting in bed trying to clear my mind of senseless violence, I came up with another character to add to the story. The hotel I stayed at seems like it encouraged people to live there… So I came up with a character who lived at the hotel that the main character can interact with at different occasions while he’s there. I haven’t really touched the story itself since a few months ago, but if I get a chance tonight, I’ll rewrite it before working on the actual script itself. All of this after a quick Sudoku of course. I also want to put some time in on my Noah Madison project thanks to Jaden’s latest post. I need to schedule time to work on certain projects just so no one feels ignored. (I hear your cries Fickette, I miss you too!)

I have a love/hate feeling towards the actual screenwriting process. I like writing dialogue… but it just takes so long for me sometimes–keeping track of the character’s personalities, how they would speak, what they would say, and still making it sound believable… unless every character is just so outrageous, that they can get away with grunts.

I really want to see Wall-E after hearing so much good about it and it’s non-use of speech. Better yet, I wonder if I could get my hands on the screenplay to see how that reads.

Okay, I must snap out of it and get back to “real work” and do some early knocking-out-of-the-park numbers so I can slack off on Thursday. We’ve got a meeting at the office and it’s requested I be there so I can bring some food back for my mom. It’s supposed to be catered with all sorts of yummies. But I’m in a Monday mood, so I can care less about going to a meeting right now. Even with free catered food. What do I really care about? I want to either be on my laptop or under the covers being unconscious. But we can’t have everything, can we? Yes we can! Obama told me so.

good mornin’ update

Filed under: babbling,blogging,car,sleep,WAH — t. sterling @ 9:56 am

Silly me, I forgot to post my 9/11 entry… until just a few minutes ago. But now that I’m sitting here writing something brand new… I can’t think of what I would’ve said yesterday, Sunday, Saturday and Friday. Sigh…

I’m glad to be awake at the before-crack-of-dawn time. AND I’m awake AFTER sleeping for over 8 hours! Hey, this is rare. I’m usually asleep for about 5 hours, more or less. And sometimes those hours aren’t all at once. This is what leads to random naps throughout the day. Unfortunately, I took said random nap last week which screwed up the rest of my work day. Napping on the job when you work at home isn’t a good thing for a guy like me. I’ll stretch a 5 minute nap to about 2 hours if I’m not pressured. I’ll also stretch out on the couch completely since Jake is a bit too…. um… chairy? Heh… cherry… Awesome.

I read that it’s good to eat to keep yourself awake. But I don’t want to be fat. I like my size and I don’t want to buy more pants! I keep saying it, but I really need to get back to the gym. I’m waiting for Sam to come back first. And no, I still don’t have Sam back yet. It’d be perfect if I got it this weekend. I miss Sam. Sigh…

Well, ’tis the 6 o’clock hour so I must go down to my office and get to work. But first I’ll get dressed and wear clothes that don’t match at all. This is a benefit of working at home. HOWEVER, this makes me want to dress a bit better even the more when 4pm rolls around because by that time, I’m ready to get out of the house. Plus my hair is out and looking insane. Actually, I look like a black Eraserhead. Fortunately, you don’t need to see the movie to get that reference, just look at the box cover. And no, I haven’t seen the movie. I heard about a disgustingly weird baby and I’m not sure I need my dreams scarred for life. Or at least for a night. This is why I avoid horror movies–I love sleeping without waking up in a sweat or out of breath or completely terrified. That’s like waking up on the wrong side of the bed. Or on the floor. Sometimes you don’t wake up from those falling dreams until after you land.

what i want for Christmas…

Filed under: coffee,food,music,office,scripts,sleep,WAH,writing — t. sterling @ 10:04 pm

The World's Ugliest Gadgets
LMAO!! Okay… I don’t know what the stank this is… But I kinda want one. 1) to play to see if it’s any fun, 2) to be a television for Halloween and 3) wear it to meetings so I can hide my true emotions… like being asleep. No doubt people would enjoy watching me better than whatever I might be watching inside of it. Even if it was empty.

I found this picture listed under World’s Ugliest Gadgets. I have no idea whatsoever what this thing really is, other than some kind of video game, or flight simulator… yet I’m curious how this poor girl can manage all the weight of the be-a-boob-tube helmet. You need a strong neck if you’re going to have a TV for a head. I’m just going to stop and admire the hilairity of the picture. This was worth waking up in this morning to see. This makes me happy.

Allow me to complain about nosebleeds. I haven’t had one since 1990. Okay, so it’s a guess… but a bleeding nose is rare for me. Yes, they used to frighten my when I was wee, but now that I’m older, it’s just annoying. I was only scared because the grown-ups around me would freak out. “OH MY GOD!” “YOUR NOSE IS BLEEDING!” “THIS KID’S NOSE IS BLEEDING!” “GET THE NURSE!” “TILT YOUR HEAD BACK!” “GET HIM A TISSUE!” “THERE’S A FIRE… sale!”

I don’t know why my nose was bleeding, but I just wanted it to stop, which it did. I hate when my garbage looks like a murder scene/surgery scene, and me looking like I’ve been beaten up. The concern people show me only make it worse.

It wasn’t too bad of a distraction from today’s work. I actually didn’t mind going back to work today… except that the program we use still has issues. By the end of the day, things were getting back to normal, except the fact my drowsiness had settled back on me. What I really felt like doing was jumping up on stage singing Stevie Wonder hits. But I stayed put and got some decent work done. Not enough, but tomorrow I should be back on track.

One of the reasons I was so sleepy, I started a new script for a new short film. I couldn’t sleep with these “voices” having this conversation that I needed to write down… or type. Ironically enough, it was about a couple who were wide awake in the middle of the night too. They didn’t finish their late night chat because the writer suddenly had a strong case of the sleepies. I slept for about 2 hours, then went to my office for the real work. Oh, I made myself a huge pot of coffee which left me with the feeling of wanting to explode. Fortunately, I didn’t.

Lastly, my grandmother is killing me. No, not with knives or poison. I’m not crazy about blueberry muffins, but she made them again today, and she’s turning me into a fiend for them. And each time she makes them, I find myself eating them until there are no more left. I’d creep down in the wee hours and steal one or two, and smuggle them back to my room for snacking like a raccoon. I’m so hungry right now. And so sleepy. What am I to do? I’ll steal a few winks before I steal a muffin and then steal a few more lines of dialogue. Sounds like a plan to me.

Writer’s Wretreat – August ’08 [part 4]

Filed under: blogging,family,retreat,sleep,writing — t. sterling @ 11:36 pm

I’ve been home since about 11am. I didn’t appreciate my uncalled for wake-up bang at the door. No sirree. It was about 9am and the lady wanted to come clean house. I was scared half to death and almost wet the bed I was so scared. I never did get any pants on, but I went to the peep hole and she was already wheeling her cart away. Meanwhile, my heart that had burst out of my chest was somewhere on the bed, so I managed to pull myself together and breathe normally. I eventually went back to bed for a short while… very short. A friend called looking for a ride to church which I wasn’t planning on attending. I gave up trying to go back to sleep, and finished packing and cleaning up, then dropped off my junk in the truck.

I didn’t get to do everything I wanted to do. I never did finish up the projects like I wanted, nor did I get to read Our Uncle Sam or finish off A Purpose Driven Life. I have the rest of tonight and possibly tomorrow. I’m hoping there are no surprises, like going to Uncle So-and-so’s for a cookout or something.

Once I got home, I went directly to sleep. I still don’t feel I slept long enough. Friends and family apparently missed me, so they felt the need to tell me so with text messages, phone calls, and more knocks at the door. There is no rest for the weary.

I said it before, but next time I’m serious. I will write out a schedule, if you will, or a to-do list, of things I must complete or at least put some chunks of work into. And I probably need to schedule time for all of the projects that I started that still aren’t fleshed out. I think I was holding off because I wanted to retreat with someone else whom I could bounce ideas off of, help in the story building process or someone who could read something freshly written. I already know that you can’t let just anyone read your stuff. They need some sense of how screenplays work, and how to tell a good story.

My allergies have been killing me all weekend. My nose needs to be detached. Just for a few hours. Please? I’d like to breathe without being tickled at the same time. I’d also not want to have feeling of sneezing, or that look like your face is about to explode, every 5 mins… or less. Not cool.

Overall, I had a good time this weekend. I did get some rest. I got to do absolutely nothing for a couple hours. I did some hardcore typing for many hours (sounds so vulgar), and I watched things I already saw but enjoyed even more. I even caught some sunrise, which is always beauty at it’s best.

Writer’s Wretreat – August ’08 [part 3]

Filed under: babbling,food,psych,retreat,sam cooke,scripts,seinfeld,sleep,writing — t. sterling @ 9:47 am

It’s the crack of dawn early Sunday morn… I’m just now realizing I have the perfect view of the sunrise. I think I neglected that fact before due to it being rainy and cloudy yesterday morning. It’s hard to determine the sunrise when the cloudy clouds are blocking the sunny sun, no? Maybe I’ll draw back the light blocking curtains and watch the sun rise live. That almost sounds like a concert. Ooo… That’s a good idea. Have a musical concert from about 5am to 8am or something… No one steal it! I claimed it here first! Growl.

Even though I’ve been sitting in the same spot for about… 7 hours, I still haven’t done much editting to Sam’s One Night Stand. I think that’s what I’m going to go with as a title. I got some feedback from a friend I sent the initial script to. I just sent her the newer version, but it’s not the final completed version. If I still have energy, I may just get that over with and call it a night. Or morning. Or day. I think I’m going to start preparing to go home. With a suite like this, do they expect me to wash my dishes? I brought the wrong camera to document my stay here. I would’ve had some awesome shots of the silverware, food I ate, amazing stunts I did that people should never do in their own home. I jest. Like last time, I mostly sat at the desk.

Ocean’s Thirteen came on HBO 2 unexpectedly. What’s even more uncanny is Ocean’s Eleven was on TBS at the same time! What a choice to make. I went 13 since it was uncensored and commercial free. I lucked out though because 11 came on a 2nd time… So you know where I was for about 4 hours. Yep, in the ugly brown recliner that is nowhere as comfy as the one at home. And I munched on my complimentary bag of buttered free popcorn that I almost burned, and decaf coffee that I brewed myself. Aren’t I special?

So that was part of my vacationing, and it was good. I had to get back into workmode which was a little difficult. I was distracted and inspired by reading my new favorite blogs and the comments people make. Then I decided to get snacks. All of that helped me to… [insert drumroll]

Write a brand new story! I haven’t started the script, I don’t know if I will do it now… but either way, I’m feeling accomplished. What is it called? Working title would be The Writing Retreat. I like puns… and there really isn’t one in that title. Concept: A struggling young writer taking a weekend off at a hotel to focus on writing new material, meets an unexpected muse that changes his life forever. The fun thing about that concept alone, it’s based on a true story. As for the story itself, well, it’s partially based in truth, but later in the story, my imagination takes over. But it’s not like crazy imagination. It’s a story I could easily film if a bunch of actors were in the room next to me and they worked for free and on a whim.

Speaking of neighbors… what is with the people about me??? Who does that much walking?! Seriously! At least they are sitting now, I hope. I may have to write that in the script, what my character would be thinking is going on in the room above his. A dance party? Musical chairs? A ballet performance chef? People warming up for a marathon?

Good God in the sweet heavens above me, I would like a nap.

I was going to have a Seinfeld marathon… but I’ve stuck with Psych. This show makes me happy. I thought I’d get through both seasons, but I’m still on season one. And the movies I rented? Didn’t touch them since I’ve been here. Go fig. I know why though. I couldn’t write something new and watch something new at the same time. Plus, watching familiar things that I love, inspires me to write, and hopefully it’s up to par to whatever I’m watching.

Crap in a hat… my eyes are too weary to continue. I’ve seen too many words in one sitting. I’m going to clean up a bit, open the curtains, enjoy more Psych, as I float off to La La Land. It’s nice, they like me there.

Oh yeah! Bounty towels are really awesome! They really are as tough as the commercials say. And yes, I’m amazed by the simplest things in life.
