Train of Thought

Woke up this morning with a headache, so I rolled over and went to sleep again (sometimes if I change positions, they go away). Woke up an hour later with worse headache. Have you ever noticed how much less functional you are when you're in pain? Grabbed clothes and things I needed to bring downstairs, went to the bathroom. Went downstairs. Took meds. Forgot that I left my phone upstairs and went back up to get it. Kitties were taking up the sofa, so I stood for a good 3 minutes just staring at them, pondering what to do about it. Dislodged a cat and turned on the television. The Tyra Banks show was on. Watched it for about 15 minutes or so. Tyra was forcing men to talk about getting married to their girlfriends when they didn't want to get married. Questioned why I kept watching it, waited through a commercial break and continued watching. Guy didn't want to get married because he liked what they had then, girl was like "what do you mean, we'll ruin what we have, that doesn't make sense". I facepalm, and change the channel to...

The History Channel, which is running Apocalypse Week, all day, every day this week. Watched guys explore catacombs under the streets of Napoli (Just facepalmed at the fact that spellcheck wants to turn Napoli into Napoleon). Am now watching a show about hypercanes, super hurricanes with acid rain and over 500 mph winds, that might happened long ago and may have killed the dinosaurs. Connected this to Biodiversity in which we discussed the fact that although we're having fewer hurricanes nowadays, they are becoming more and more violent and large. Had a "hm" moment. Contemplated playing Persona 3, Persona 4, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, or the Sims 2, but then I'd have to stop watching the History Channel. What to do?

Lately have thought that I could make a good essayist. David Sedaris-esque, if you will. I entertain witty thoughts with nowhere to write them down, and inevitably they evaporate to wherever my thoughts that I can't retain go. Went to a wake a couple days ago, open casket. Had a thought process about why people do that, had nowhere to share it or anyone to share it with. Watched "Death at a Funeral" the day after with Jaho. Thought it was fitting.

Hopefully people can read this. I'm thinking of updating more like this. If I can run a train of thought through entries, maybe I'll actually make more of them. Like writing down the thoughts as they come. Rather than organizing them into a post. I'm disorganized anyway. Maybe I'll update more if that's the case. Cookies and love for those who read this. And for my friends list. Apocalypse Week is putting me in an interesting mood.
