...and the insomniac returns..

Man, my schedule is ridiculously fucked up. I hit the sack around 2:30 am, and I may have slept a little. I'm not sure. I just know that I have been going to sleep later and later every night, and I am pretty damn tired of it. Then again, it provides some time to catch up on my summer reading for next year. I won't bore you with the details, but the book is called "Never Let Me Go," and if you are one who enjoys reading, you should definitely check it out. Get at me if you care for a synopsis (good to page 119 currently) and/or would like to borrow the read when I'm done.

I feel like maybe going for a run. I bet that would knock me right out. My legs are pretty sore from all the running I've been doing lately. Hmm...maybe a walk. Okay, actually, I don't think I'm going to go at all. I would much rather remain in my father's cozy apartment. Speaking of which, this thing is damn cozy. I was sleeping in the back room, and the door that opens to the back porch was opened, although the screen was closed to bar insects from entering. It was raining outside. The whole things was very serene, what with the rain and the crickets...and my dad's occasional snoring...and yet, I still could not sleep.

So here I am. Maybe I will watch some TV. I need another season of The Office to come out so I can memorize every word in it like I have done with the past four seasons. After watching episodes in which you can pinpoint when every single word is going to be spoken, when every hand gesture is going to be made, even sometimes (and more often than you would think..scary) when a character is going to blink, it gets a bit repetitive. Still, the episodes are sitting there in my iTunes, should I choose to view them. 

And of course, I have several Weeds episodes. I really liked that show for a time, but now I am wondering if it was a bit of a fad. The storyline is weak. The actors are not spectacular. And, most importantly (and most disappointingly), I am finding that after I view an episode I have no desire to re-watch it several days later, contrary to my feelings toward The Office. Here is where the, and I have discussed this issue with Preston, probably under a different term, but maybe not, "ReViewability Factor" comes into play. On The Office, I could watch those shits all day for awhile. Sure, now they are getting a bit old, but I wore those things out. I don't think iTunes intended their buyers to watch those episodes as much as I did. For awhile, the only way I could get to sleep was to watch a fuckin Office episode (hmm...thinks to himself, "maybe work now...? **sigh** ah, dunno."). Weeds is certainly not the same as far as this goes. I don't really laugh when I watch Weeds either, although I am pretty sure it is a comedy. Wow, as I write this, I am really finding out that I wasted about eight bucks on Weeds episodes!

Let's back up for a minute, because I am pretty sure I wrote a couple blogs that highly touted the show. I need to clarify; nay, null and void those opinions. Weeds is an extremely average show. It should be watched if a random DVD is spotted on a friend's coffee table and there is no pussy nor alcohol afoot. It should be viewed only under the condition that A. it doesn't take a lot to make you laugh and/or B. you DO NOT smoke marijuana, coupled with C. you like milfs. If you're only meeting C, do not watch. But any combo of A and C or B and C and you're good. A and B certainly. A, ok. B, ok. Not just C. Go online for that.

Fuck it, I'm going to watch The Office. Night all (greeted by no one; everyone's asleep you insomnia-suffering fuck).
