Insomnia Files #2

I’m back at my desk and ready for some Big! Exciting! Changes! but in the meantime, my sleeplessness is your entertainment.


1. I get funny looks when I do this. Dogs are so lucky.

2. Now that things have calmed down a bit at work, I can dive back into some books. This site is a great resource. Hope some of you will join and give me some suggestions!

3. I could watch this man over and over. This song itself is great but it’s the video, and specifically Michael Stipe, that tugs at every memory I have about love and loss. The blue tones in the airport, the grimy window on the train. Brilliant, heartbreaking.

Now life is sweet
And what it brings
I tried to take
But loneliness
It wears me out
It lies in wait

And I’ve lost
Still in my eyes
The shadow of necklace
Across your thigh
I might’ve lived my life in a dream, but I swear
This is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass
Mercurial future, forget the past
It’s you, it’s what I feel.

4. When it’s 3:00 in the morning, it’s nice to know there are other people cursing the sandman. Or staring at this which immediately connects you to the universe. And ooo, pretty colors.

5. Let that which is unsaid be said.

6. If all crooks were this polite, the world would be a better place, no? Actually, this is unbelievably sad.
