to sleep?

Since I seem to be doing very little of that which we call sleep I thought I'd share my ongoing struggle with it.

Oh and what I have watched since watching TV is what I do best.

Sunday: For some reason I thought "The First Wives Club" would lull me to sleep. Instead I watched the whole damn thing. That logically led me to watch "Capturing the Friedmans" next. Not logical? Spend 2 hours listening to women caterwaul and see what documentary it leads you to.

Also, can I tell you that Netflix allowing me to stream TV shows & movies in an unlimited fashion might be the worst thing to ever happen to me.

And the best.

I struggled through Monday. I even exercised moderately (walked down the street and back) which is quite an accomplishment when you've been ill in bed for 7 days. I fell asleep during "Law and Order" for a good 15 minutes and then woke up at 10:45pm to another sleepless night. Monday night I watched a movie, maybe a TV show? But for the life of me I cannot remember what it was because at around 4am when I was drifting off to sleep-seriously-I was right at the threshold...the bed starts to jolt back and forth, up and down, and there's rumbling emanating from the ground.

Nice, right? I finally am going to sleep, and a massive (sounding) earthquake hits. ARGH. I never went back to sleep after that.

Tuesday night was awful, and I don't think I dropped off until 6am. I did watch "Dead Poets Society" on YouTube though. That was kick ass right up until we got to Neil's suicide. I'm not giving spoiler alerts on films that are 20 years old, deal with it. Anyway, YouTube blocked the remaining parts of the film for music copyright issues so I didn't really get to enjoy the film as a whole.

Can I just tell you how much I loathe and despise these corporate bloodsuckers for ruining YouTube?

Tonight, I thought I might be in luck since I was sleepy enough to start to fall asleep at 8pm (no kidding), 9pm (still not kidding), so I logged off the internet, I curled up to watch a little "Law and Order: SVU". I fell asleep for 15 minutes and have been awake ever since.

So here we are...at the almost 2am marker, my eyes and head hurt too much to read, everyone on Facebook and Twitter have gone to sleep, and worst of all: Alex Chilton died today.

Can I just tell you how much that bums me out? Like in an unfathomable way. I shudder to think of what will happen to me when Leonard Cohen passes away.

I'm currently working on "The Ugly Truth" only because I loved the vibrator in the restaurant scene when I saw it last summer. Yeah, I like vibrator humor, deal with it.

I want to sleep so much. I hate insomnia. I hate my body for being all screwy. I hate myself for not having any more sleeping pills.

I do love Gerard Butler though so we will work it all out in the end.

Can I just tell you though how much I want to sleep?

I really do.

Things I Would Do To A 500 lb. Cheesecake

Tomorrow night at the White House Staff Inaugural Ball lucky attendees get to eat a 500 lb. cheesecake. Here are details. 500 lb Cheesecake from Eli's I am consumed with just the thought of 500 lbs of creaminess. These are the things I would do to that wheel of sugar and eggs and cream cheese if I were left alone in the White House, or any house really, with it. 1.)  Stick my face directly into the middle of it and start eating my way to the edge. 2.)  Eat it spoonful by spoonful even if it takes me all year. 3.)  Pour heated hot fudge sauce all over it then begin licking. 4.)  Rub at least 5 lbs of the cheesecake all over my body and writhe in happiness. 5.)  Smoosh a 25 lbs of it on white canvas, matte and frame it, hang it on my wall, and write sonnets to it for the rest of my life. 6.)  Buy a California King sized bed so I could sleep with my arms wrapped around it every night. 7.)  And then eat a little for breakfast every mor...

and once again...

It's been awhile so I have more TV thoughts to expound upon because as well know...TV is what I do best. In no particular order: 1. Dear 30 Rock...I know it's fun to mock Liz Lemon but this season it's getting out of hand. I am, possibly, internalizing it too much, but when loyal, lovable Floyd calls Liz Lemon a badger I think you've gone too far. 2. Additionally 30 Rock, I'm not laughing as much as I used to. Don't get me wrong. I still laugh-specifically last week when you made the pranksters get naked and they were all screaming like girls, but I'm not rolling around in hysterics over every single of minute like I used to. That makes me sad. I depended on 30 Rock for the absurdist, surreal and just flat out manic laughs that it delivered Seasons 1 through 3. 3. I know some BSG fans don't like Caprica. I am not one of them. I have watched each episode of Caprica at least 3 times. It may be Eric Stoltz & Esai Morales & Sasha Roiz & that ...

You know you're alone on a Sunday afternoon... (randomish again)

... when you realize just how loudly you're singing along to a Bob Dylan song.  Essentially it's when your voice is reverberating off the ceiling in the dining room and because you're so freaking tone deaf it hurts your own ears. ...when you make strawberry-basil ice cubes to for a strawberry-basil cocktail that was in Saturday's Wall Street Journal.  I mean, I even made simple syrup.  Yikes. ...when you spend about two hours searching bread pudding recipes, you make the bread pudding, and then proceed to eat half of the pan before you realize just how many eggs and how much cream you put in this goddamn bread pudding.  So worth it though.  Did I mention I took photos too? I did.  Further, I reviewed and rated the recipe (seriously, it's a damn good recipe - here's a link Bread Pudding II (also known as the one recipe that didn't require 'hot milk') Prep!
