Why do I even bother trying to sleep?!

Seriously? Why bother? Why not just get hopped up on caffeine and speed, and I'll never need to sleep again. I'll just live my life in an exhausted drug fury. That's got to be easier than the crap I go through.

So, last night I played Bookworm on Yahoo games until 1. voyageofbeagle warned me that I would rue the day I find the game, but my curiosity got the best of me. Bookworm is Yahoo's version of Boggle. I suck at Boggle so bad even slacker_97 can beat me. So why did I stay up until 1 playing? I dunno.

I decide to go to bed, and I get all wrapped up in thinking about tonight's Carnivale panel. Fair enough. I'm excited. It's an exciting thing. But then somehow, and I'm still not sure how, that shifted into an internal rant about how much I hate Buffy.

My brain is a scary place.

So I force myself to stop thinking about that, eventually, somehow. Finally, finally I drift off to sleep. All is well, right? Except, I started dreaming about Gone With the Wind. And not the fun parts where Rhett sweeps me off my feet and I swoon in his arms. No, the horrible part where Atlanta is burning. My sleep was very thin, I was constantly waking up, until the alarm went off, which I ignored for almost an hour.

Here I am. It's 9:00. I'm at the LEC. I don't think I have anybody to tutor today. I'm going to hang out until 11:30, at which time I will be going to a panel called Homosexuality and Spirituality: Dispelling the Myths, and then I will run to the bank, and then I will go pick up slacker_97 from work, and then we will go to LA to the Director's Guild of America where we will meet up with voyageofbeagle and a good time will be had by all!

Also, I made this icon yesterday. It's lame and simple, but i like it.

Strange things I think about...

( A short list. )

My busy day

First, thanks everybody who answered my (mostly) rhetorical questions. It was nice to come home to all those responses, lol.

Second, I'll be posting the next chapter of Withered Stumps of Time in about an hour.

Third, the Carnivale Festival rocked! OMG!!! Ok, first we got to Sunset by taking the 210 and surface streets instead of the 10 because I hate the 10. We pretty much made it without getting lost, which was really nice. We couldn't find The Director's Guild of America at first, but then we called voyageofbeagle and we were only like a block away. So that worked out well. And they had a parking lot just for us, with free parking. That made me happy.

Of course, we got there painfully early. So we hung out, watched the world go by. There are some strange people on Sunset, and it was a nice evening. Though I noticed my car was overheating today. it always runs hot, but it was different today. On the freeway, it was just fine, normal. In stop and go traffic it really got hot. This is annoying and slightly troubling. I will have it looked in to.

Ok, so then around sixish or so, voyageofbeagle calls and asks where we're at. Turns out we're both hanging out in the parking lot, so we meet up and go into the building. We talk, we laugh, we stand in line. We get a brief glance of Tim Decay from a distance,(Jonesy) and he is one fine looking man.

Anyway, we watched the final ep of the season, The Day That was the Day, which was actually better than I remembered it. Then the panel had a short discussion and answered some questions. Here are some points of interest:
1) The 2nd season will start in Jan 2005
2) The S1 DVDs will be released in time for Christmas
3) HBO is committed to the series until "the bitter end."

I guess the highlight of my night is the fact that I got to Sunset and back in one piece. I have a serious fear of L.A. and of driving to L.A. I'm especially pleased because I figured out how to get to Hollywood without using the ten. FOr me, this is a big deal.

Also, voyageofbeagle is like, one of the coolest people I know. I want to be her when I grow up. I had a great night all around, and I got home in time to catch The Shield!
