Brick Wall
Monday has descended like a ton of bricks. Really boring, slightly nasty bricks. I'm still (again) having massive sleeping issues (no need to suggest ways to help, I appreciate it but I either already know or have dismissed most things). So I had two enormous coffees and STILL I am having trouble propping up my eyelids. Twitter isn't entertaining me, so I turn to you, LIVE JOURNAL, we haven't been as close as we normally are, and I'm sorry for that. It's been hard to concentrate. You will forgive me, won't you?
My friends are all having minor meltdowns, too. The one that sleeps with married or committed men is telling about another sex romp with someone while at the same time saying how she must get a job, but only really wants to marry this other guy. I'm like, "girl I love you, but why are you telling me all this?" Another friend refuses to take my advice to cut off the guy she claims abused her. She sent me their most recent IM exchange and for people who are almost 40, it's like they might as well be high-schoolers, that's the level of discourse. Again, "girl I love you, but you aren't listening." To me, or to herself.
Saturday I had to once again defend why I don't want an electronic device, I want books. Why can't I be left alone on this subject? I love computers, but I really don't want to replace my books and I don't want to be like everyone else - sitting around at a party, all focused on their own Blackberry/iPhones/thingamajigs.
Everyone has seen this, right? http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=76430
Martin Freeman, oh wow, is he not adorable? He is just so adorable and wonderful and okay I'll stop now.
