Insomnia

I don't think you qualify as an insomniac if you don't ever try falling asleep.

I did catch the last hour (which as fate would have it is the last half) of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and.. while only slightly confused, it didn't seem all that bad. "When the legend becomes fact.. Print the legend." Good quote, at least.

While channel surfing post-midnight this eve, I caught a new VH1 show called Totally Obsessed. And I have to say, dude. A guy who went into debt to make the General Lee (from Dukes of Hazard) fly once more.

It flew, crash landed, and he got the video he wanted. By the way, he's still in debt. Saw some girl completely and utterly obsessed (gee, you don't say?) with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Some guy with countless holes (whether they were piercings or needles, I'm not sure, I was only semi-in-control of the tv) through his legs and other parts of his body (I think). Due to squeamishness, I shan't ever be an MD. But hey, maybe I'll play one on tv, how cool would that be? Long story short, it's a funky show.

As for Apocalypse Now, that got rescheduled into next week also. I had plans for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and all of them got cancelled. Either I'm a pariah and I don't know it, or something else is up (pariah sounded cooler than leper).

In other news, I vaccuumed a vast majority of the homestead today, and the vaccuum cleaner is so kickass it is deserving of a name. More on that in the coming week, will have to discuss with the roomie what we will refer to it as, and then you will know! Maybe it'll even have a nifty nametag, and then I'll take a picture and the world can admire it in all its glory. Or none of that happens, and I never mention it again.

vs. and the Blendomatic 3000--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watched Trading Places today with Sarah. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. I saw her online and asked what she was doing. After establishing we were both doing nothing, which is of course a lie, I invited her over. She did indeed come over, and after chatting for an hour we watched the movie enjoying delicious milkshakes made in the Blendomatic-3000 (I went ahead and named it, but I need to mark up some tape and slap it on there, making it official. Then I'll take a picture and we'll be in business. Ready, break!). I've had a blender for a week now, and I've used and cleaned it five or six times. That's just for milkshakes, wait until I get creative! But back to what I was going to say, Trading Places always reminds me of how incredible Eddie Murphy was in the 80s. Now, he's been reduced to donkey, but I suppose they call it a peak for a reason, it's surrounded by an incline on the left and a decline on the right. At least he got to be Donkey; twice. Of course, he was Pluto Nash. I guess they call it rock bottom for a reason too (*Zing*). I keed, I keed!

And I will leave you with this thought.

What's worse than sitting through three hours and ten minutes of The Birth of a Nation?
Sitting through a ninety minute quiz answering questions about it.

Oh the humanity. I thought there were rules against cruel and unusual punishment in this country!
