The not-sleeping is quickly, once again, reaching a crisis state. It's not even one thing, but a combination of things. My wretched insomnia, and the sleeping pills (I know we're supposed to say "sleep aids" now, but fuck it) that really don't work so well (name one, I've taken it).

I hit the whiskey hard.

Short-run TV show (maybe 12 episodes over 2 seasons?) centering on an agoraphobic insomniac, his addiction to television, and his various roommates. I forget if there are cats. I thought it was awesome.

I think Virginia Woolfe had similar problems. Like with the bustle of London being her bittersweet muse and the country being healing yet uninspiring.

I think Virginia Woolfe had similar problems.

And we see what became of her.

Considering her bouts of depression, she did live a good many years - until, I believe, fifty-nine years old. Kurtmulgrew reminded me of this scene in The Hours: Leonard Woolf: If I didn't know you better I'd call this ingratitude ( ... )

Thanks for the movie recommendation. "Last Night" sounds intriguing.
