Strange Sleep

I haven't had a decent night sleep in weeks. I either can't get to sleep or can't sleep through the night. I wake up because I'm too hot or too cold. I wake up from crazy dreams. Ugh.
Last night I was so tired I forced myself to stay awake until 10pm. I woke up because in my dream I was trying to wrap corn on the cob with toilet paper so I could throw it away. Yeah, really didn't make sense why it would frustrate me into waking me up. It still dark outside so I was convinced it was the middle of the night. I turned on my clock* and it was after 8. I had slept more than 10 hours consecutively and I was still exhausted. I went to the bathroom, went back to bed and then slept until noon. For those of you that are less numerically inclined, I slept 14 hours. Might not be strange if you are May-B but definitely strange for me. I presume I shall return to my restless sleep state tonight.

Mad TV - iPad

I'm confused. Why would Apple name a product after parody product? This sketch is from over two years ago.

Tweets about Lost

Simon Pegg: Damon I heard that the smoke monster is the ghost of Locke's father's brother who is Jack and Hurley's son's mom. Y/N?
Damon Lindelof: WHO TOLD YOU THIS!?!? Someone is getting SO fired.
Simon Pegg: I got Abrams drunk.
Damon Lindelof: Lie. It is impossible to get an android drunk.
Simon Pegg: Touche. Seriously though, the island is the product of a cheese dream experienced after Jack Shepherd ate a whole Edam. Yes?
Damon Lindelof: Incorrect. The actual cheese which birthed the dream that created the island? Camembert.
Simon Pegg: Aarrrrrrggghhhhhhhh! Curses! I knew it was cheese though.

- participates in nerdy competitions and lose


PS: Happy 1200th post to me!

Grace in Small Things: Day 24

Has a rough day so a couple will be hockey themed (thus it will not make sense to most of you)


  1. Some one in my fantasy hockey league dropped Tuukka Rask. Fool! He will be my 3rd goalie after Martin Brodeur and Evgeni Nabokov. [Translation: I have really good goalies]. This same fool dropped Alexander Semin when he was on injury reserve.


  2. Martin Brodeur got a shut out! I'm in 1st place in my fantasy hockey league and my lead increases everyday.

  3. Pilates started again today! I missed it so. At the beginning, the instructor asked me to talk to the class about how it has benefited me since my falls.
  4. On the way to school, the bus driver saw me about a half block from the bus stop so he stopped for me

  5. My bus driver on my way home has mad defensive driving skills. A taxi ran through a yield sign and the bus driver avoided him completely. I don't know many people who could have reacted that well in a car let alone a bus.

My New Desktop Image

It makes my heart glad.

I decided that Jason Sudeikis is Ky's soul mate because he is tall whilst bearded and punching.

Headache: Day 4

I've had a migraine since Saturday. I have times when I feel better but it never really goes away. It is difficult to not spend the afternoon sleeping when you need to stay perfectly still in a dark room with your eyes closed to feel better. You can't worry about being to get to bed a reasonable time when you are trying not to puke from the nausea.

It is 1 AM and I am WIIIIIIIIDE awake. This will not help the chances of feeling better tomorrow morning.

Chia Presidents

The commercial came on during SNL so I thought it was one of their joke products:



It is not a joke (sorry, can't embed the video).

Either he's an idiot or using Roman numerals

The athlete is named Jennifer Heil but that not what I read.

Lingering Effects

I woke up with a headache so I took some Advil. The head feels better but my eyes are wonky (for lack of a better term). Whether I have my glasses on or not, my eyes can't seem to focus properly. Not being able to focus makes my eyes sore and make me completely useless to get anything done. So how is a girl supposed to treat the non-head hurting symptoms of a migraine?

Injury Update: 2010 Edition

I seemed to be especially injury-prone in 2009 and I was hoping for a better 2010.

On New Year's Day I got hydrogen peroxide in my eye. I tried to think of it less as a bad start to the new year and more as hoping that was the worst injury of the year.

Yesterday the temperature high was -28C. As my car was warming, I tried opening the door to put my ice scraper away but it only opened partially. I won't open anymore or close completely from the outside. I tried opening the door from the driver's seat but I tried using too much force at a strange angle. At first I thought I had dislocated my shoulder I was in so much pain but after a couple minutes it felt like it was probably just a strain. I eventually opened the door by getting into the backseat and using the full weight of my body with my other shoulder. Thinking back that was pretty stupid of me since I tore my rotator cuff almost exactly a year ago. Why didn't I kick the door open?

Regardless of the type of injury, it only hurts when my shoulder moves or touches anything or is still for a long time. I'll wait until my chiropractor is back from vacation to see a doctor about it. In the meantime, I know how to treat it but am not looking forward to frequently using an ice pack when it is -41C with the windchill outside.

Some Thoughts After a Second Viewing of Zombieland

- Woody Harrelson has magnificent biceps.
- don't take a germaphobe who hates loud noises
- I am the only person who seems to get the Deliverance reference.
