(Last Night ) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All - Part 2

"Last night I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
I lay awake and watched until the mornin' light..."

I was out last night seeing The Bangles at The House of Blues with Marshall, Michael, Kurt(?), and Debbie. I'll have to write about that later because there's a lot for me to write about and I'm still, at 3pm in the afternoon of the next day, slightly sleepy and hungover.

I could barely drag myself out of bed at 9 am this morning to answer the phone. I could barely speak from an achy throat, and let's not even discuss sprinting from my bedroom to the kitchen to get my phone that goes straight to voicemail in three rings flat.

Today, I decided, was the perfect day to spend watching DVDs I'd been ignoring for weeks. First I saw "Half Nelson" with Ryan Gosling and Shareeka Epps. He plays a drug addicted teacher who is self destructive (aren't all teachers?). One of his students is played by Shareeka Epps. Excellent young actress. I'm not sure what to really say about this movie because the whole self-destructive teacher angle has been done before (Looking For Mr. Goodbar), but the performances were actually OK, dawg. Oops! Sorry I channeled Randy the judge from American Idol. Really, though, there was fine acting all around. I would recommend it for that.

After finishing that one I decided to watch "The Holiday" since I was wee bit embarrassed to see it at the theater. I slept through most of it. I was tired and hungover so don't let it be a reflection of the movie. However, it did produce a very weird dream. I was in a shoestore with Kate Winslet and Jude Law. Jude was dating both of us, but he wouldn't commit. So I'm crying and Kate's crying over him not being able to be with us full time- all the while shopping for shoes. Strange? Possibly.
