Thursday thoughts

Thursday – oh baby, oh baby.

One day closer to being in a comatose state by choice, not by sheer luck, you know?

And I’m not talking about chemically induced stuff either. We’re talking about taking the sleep train to the land of naps.

I LOVE naps.

And when I say LOVE, I don’t mean “like”.

I mean LOVE.

L-O-V-E.

My sister asked me once why I sleep so much if I’m bipolar. I explained that not engaging in my usual 3 hour nap on Saturdays is a sign that something is afoot.

She and I have been the exact opposite as far as sleep patterns go for – let’s see – pretty much our whole lives up to this point. She was the kid who would fight tooth and nail to stay up and watch monster movies or whatever else was on TV at the time. I’m the kid that would crash on the couch.

I could be tweaky about my sleep processes, to be sure…I wanted a specific stuffed animal, I panicked if it took me more than a ½ hour to get to sleep, and for almost a year, I refused to sleep in my bedroom. But I LOVED sleep then, and I do now. I figure, if humans become the exact opposite of who we are when we get really old, I will be an insomniac with no profanity ushering forth from my lips. That will be a really sad day, too.

Other stuff…

The National Cherry Blossom Festival kicks off this weekend, which should be interesting in and of itself. They’re predicting sleet, rain, fog – all the things that make cherry blossom tours SO worthwhile – NOT. But if Mother Nature doesn’t do what she threatens, the sight is worth seeing. The trees are gorgeous when in full bloom, but don’t pick the blossoms – it’s a federal offense. Just remember, Sudiegirl told you so! (PS: painting image from www.elouisegraves.com; GORGEOUS!)

Star Jones Reynolds – ah, what can I say about Star Jones Reynolds? Don’t get me wrong…I’m sure she’s hard working and all, but do we really need to know about her boob job? Or the fact that her husband’s a klutz and had to get two stitches in his head after he slipped in the gym? There’s just some things the general public doesn’t REALLY need to hear about, and those are two of them right there. I’ve got droopy boobs too, but I’ll be DAMNED if I tell you all about ‘em – oops – wait a minute – I pulled a Star Jones Reynolds my own bad self. Sorry ‘bout that, folks.

Have any of you in blogland seen “Big Love”, the new series on HBO yet? If not, and you have HBO or know someone who has HBO, WATCH IT! It’s about a modern Mormon guy…that has three wives. Their houses are all next to each other, and there’s seven kids between them. I’m normally not a Bill Paxton fan, but this is pretty good for the most part. I guess the wife that I get annoyed with is Nicki (played by Chloe Sevigny, 2nd from left). She’s such a damned shopaholic shrew, it’s not funny. I’ve seen three episodes so far, and the show really does deal with many issues quite deftly. I’m not sure if it deals with polygamy very accurately, but I’m not a polygamist so I don’t know. But as far as acting and interesting storylines go, I highly recommend it!

So anyway, until more interesting stuff comes along, you’re stuck with my boring crap. I remain…
