jeffy

With B still in CA, my sleep schedule has drifted farther and farther away from the norm.


I got to sleep about 3am and slept until 3pm on Wednesday. Had my second session of drawing class where we did a couple flavors of contour drawing and some gesture drawing. Mostly fun. Watched A History of Violence from our shelf. B has almost all of Viggo's movies, and I hadn't seen that one yet. It's good mostly. Maria Bello didn't have much to do. Watched all the extra features as well. Cronenberg has a twisted little brain, but he sure knows how to put a movie together. Got to bed about 4:30am after doing an abbreviated shovelglove set.

Of course then I had to go to the second day of my resume/interview class at 8:30am. So there's 3 hours of sleep. Coming after a night of 12 hours made it mostly okay.

Thursday night I watched the last disk of Criminal Minds season 3 from netflix. Boom! Those first three seasons are each better than the last and they start out pretty darn good. The character bits are so great, especially for Reid. He has an arc going on, but it's 95% off-screen with just little hints (a look here, a wince there, a bitchy little meltdown once in a while) to let you know where he's at.

After finishing that (and the extras), I farted around on the computer including brainstorming a list of all the things I actually want to be doing (or at least want to have done) instead of all the random poking at the internets that seems to be all I ever get around to. I came up with 93 things in about 15 minutes. Went to bed at 5am.

Don't know when I got up on Friday. Didn't really do much. Walked around town in the early phase of Artwalk. Posted the last of my picture backlog to flickr. Did some cooking to salvage some of the food in the fridge. Watched Domino on the Roku. The audio track was terrible with the dialogue way down in the mix under all the explosions and music. Other than that, though, it was fun to watch. Then I started watching The Big Bad Swim because it has Paget Brewster in it. I don't know why B put it in our queue. (Today I discovered (by accident) that Emily Prentiss is on Facebook (this is the character that Brewster plays on Criminal Minds) which made me happy, especially when she approved my friend request ;-) Anyway, I stopped it after the first ten minutes because I realized that it was 5am. Then I was waylaid by the internets and finally got to bed about 6:30am.

Then this morning (Saturday) I had to get up at 11:30 for a family conference call to discuss the stuff B went to CA for. So that's 5 hours of sleep. I sat out in the sunshine and worked on C.J. Cherryh's short story collection Visible Light. Took a nap for a couple of hours then made cookies to take to the 4th barbecue of a library friend. That was supposed to start at 5pm. I showed up about 5 hours late, but the fireworks were just getting going and I caught up with my host's alcohol levels pretty quickly. Unfortunately everybody else took off right after the explosions stopped so I didn't get to visit very much. I did get to chat with host and his sweetie while I helped them tidy up a bit while waiting for my alcohol content to go back down so I could drive home.

Got home about 1:30 and did some stuff for B. Then did the usual crap until around 4:30am when I decided I wanted to go running. Yes, I am insane. Thanks for noticing. I went here for almost exactly 4km. Unlike every other run I've done this year, though, this had a hill, so that feels good. Then I spent an hour writing this blathering post and it's 7:15am now. I guess I feel kind of sleepy... Guess I'll go do shovelglove and go to sleep for a few hours.

If nothing else, I'm definitely confusing the hell out of the cat.
