My late night walk tonight had me trudging through snow in sneakers.
It’s been a long timesince I’ve done that, and the sheer stupidity of walking through snow in sneakers made me homesick.
Walking through quiet streets at night while it’s snowing has always been peaceful, and tonight it reminded me of beauty I didn’t think I’d find here, and I missed.
In other news, in crime shows like CSI, why oh why do they always end up in the dark looking for tiny evidence like hairs with flashlights? The electricity in the house works. Presumably, that’s why you moved the car from the street to the lab. That’s why they invented portable floodlights. It drives me effing nuts.
guess i’m not going swimming tomorrow morning. maybe i should see if the pool is open AFTER work – then it won’t matter what time i get to bed.
icanhascheezburger.com is wayyy funnier now than it was six hours ago. i will forever blame my mother for the fact that i am a person who reads icanhascheezburger.com. she told me about it. i started to read it to MOCK it, but, alas, as with so many things i do only to mock, it became a habit. like finger quotes, and letterman.
and john hughes movies, which i have an unnatural love for.
food cravings are stronger this time of night. despite the fact that i have a fridge full of food, including some easy-to-heat leftovers, i wanted apples and cheddar cheese. and so cut off a rather large chunk of mould from more than one side of the cheese in order to fulfill this desire.
i definitely started to think about going to sleep six hours ago. was absolutely going to be in bed at 12, after i got off the phone. got into bed. read 30 pages of Mao (i average 5-10, usually). turned out the lights. got up. checked e-mail, then picked up a play. which i started, and finished. am a geek. a GEEK.
just realized i’ve been leaving prepositions and articles out of all my sentences. my students are rubbing off on me, and my grammar is getting worse and worse. also capitals, but that’s because i’m being efficient with my typing (ha!).
went for a walk. why, when i need a cab at 3am, i can NEVER GET ONE, but tonight, they all slowed down just in case i needed a ride? WHY?
i watched 20/20’s medical mysteries tonight. there’s actually a disease called “FFI” – familial something insomnia – a disease in which something triggers in your brain and you end up with permanent insomnia and after 8 or 9 months with 0 sleep you DIE. i should stop watching medical shows. it brings out the hypochondriac in me.
will be setting my alarm several hours ahead. again. i keep starting out the night with such great intentions but then as the night wears on and i don’t sleep the alarm keeps getting set another hour forward, and then i hit the snooze alarm until 12:30, when i get up to watch judge judy and eat honey nut cheerios from the box before jumping in the shower and walking to work with wet hair. i KNOW. how exciting is my life?!
sleep now.
