jbr: it sounded kinda far away

ckb: yeesh

ckb: i don't blame you... i wouldn't be able to sleep after that

Also known as Mausoleum flies. These flies breed in the most putrid of circumstances and are serious pest in all types of food handling facilities. They breed in cockroach cultures and infest dead specimens. They can grow to enormous numbers and be a considerable nuisance as they are attracted to the face and eyes.

"Foul-smelling, sticky brownish 'goo', oozing from a leaking mausoleum crypt. This substance consists of liquified decayed body parts, bodily fluids, and embalming chemicals. The volatile, acidic mixture corrodes through wooden, or even metal caskets- and then drips into the crypt itself, where it may leak into the public area."

I guess it's a good thing that AOL is too slow to load those images!

I can't sleep either. I've been up since 4am, which is early for me even by British time. I'm really missing my boyfriend, so I rang him, which was really stupid because he wasn't even really awake and just yawning on the phone which made me feel insecure and stupid. Ugh. Stupid jet lag.

The time change, predictably enough, made my insomnia worse. Or it seems worse because of what the clocks say.

walked around with a friend, came back for chinese takeout, then had a really frustrating conversation about film which he tried to continue while i needed to work on my paper, then finally i wrote about five pretty good pages, now it's four in the morning and the train for london leaves at 9:30 crap.

i'm awake because i had two very vivid and fucked-up nightmares. this is what happens when i eat spicy food before bed.

when i woke up the ipod was playing eerie cambodian pop music.

I'm awake because the asshats below me decided to open the windows and doors on their apartment so I can hear their drunken ravings as they play cards and drink. Right now a drunk harpy is attempting to shriek along to Rod Stewart's "Hot Legs"

― donna (donna), Monday, 30 August 2004 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a weird sleep, partially because I ate two soy dogs right before bed and partly because I always have trouble sleeping on Sunday nights. I had two, well, not nightmares, but oddly stressful dreams, one about waiting to see if my band was going to play a show or not and one where I was in a castle that was about to be stormed by Nazis and I had to figure out how to load and fire a pistol. Then when I woke up and tried to get back to sleep the dreams just kept running through my head, making my heart beat really fast.

it's only 11:40 on the west coast, but last night i was in bed at approx 3:00, and i don't anticipate sleeping much sooner tonight.

i blame my partner; i can't read myself to sleep in bed, because of the light.

Yes. Last night I went to buy sherry really late. You know, one of those inexorable sherry-cravings of the soul. And I got it, got home and swigged deeply. To find:

I'd gotten dry sherry. I switched with the cream because I'm a flaming idiot.

My grandparents have this amazing heater from the mid-or-so sixties, really barbarically designed, it wobbles out these great waves of warm warm gorgeous warm air, it probably runs on petrol or something. POST YR 'BEING WARM' LITEROTICA HERE Y'ALL.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 07:15 (twenty years ago)

ah, cryptic crossword... i should try that. maybe. yes, world must stop for 6-8 hours please. Now I'm pondering "being-warm literotica"! If anywhere is going to inspire it, it's gonna be Mtl! I remember when my former roommate bought the space heater. Life changed. that was the old place. I am alone and space-heaterless now. I haven't even put the plastic up on my windows yet! So I probably don't have a right to complain as I have dug my cold hole with the shovel of procrastination.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 2 January 2006 15:03 (twenty years ago)

I haven't had a proper night's sleep for about two months. I thought being off work would help but the last few nights I've been going to bed at about midnight, falling asleep, waking up about two hours later, not getting back to sleep, get out of bed so as not to disturb the mister, read/do sudoku puzzles/dick around on the internet, then end up being knackered. Have a brief nap through the day, feel shit and tired, go to bed, can't sleep...repeat until brain collapses.

I now have a prescription for sleeping tablets though, but can't pick up from chemist until tomorrow.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 2 January 2006 15:32 (twenty years ago)

Haha R I didn't bring back any snacks! I would love me some PAINFUL CRISPS right now. Do you have any funny anecdotes abt Foucault or something I cld read while waiting to have a computer that will run youtube and games and stuff?

Also tomorrow I have to convince someone to let me into her D&D group! I will need PEAK PERFORMANCE :(

PAINFUL CRISPS would probably help get you into the D&D group.
haha, I have no Foucault-related anecdotes today. I wrote a bit about the Olympics at http://www.midnightpoutine.ca in lieu of actual events in my life. Seriously, today I watched Olympics, read, went to the gym, wrote, and then went for awesome dinner at a friend's. Okay, those are events. Not medal-contending events, but hey. Yesterday I went swimming and then sneezed for 6 hours b/c of, like, chlorine inflammation. WWFS (what would foucault say)? I worry about what my guesses.

are. I worry about what my guesss *are*. I'm totally sleepy! Here is some of my sleepiness for you ;;/

I can't remember what Foucault would say about anything! September 2007 cannot come soon enough, really. I liked the poutine piece, GET IN.

x-post cheers! sleep well R!

I get insomnia like once a year. Tonight is the night. Went to bed at 11, woke up at 2:40 or so after having a weird "Lost" related dream. I can't imagine having this happen all the time, it would seriously fuck me up.

one year passes...

pls tell me of your experiences with melatonin.

I can't get a good night's sleep to save my life. I wake easily and then find it nearly impossible to go back to sleep. I take three different pyscotropic meds now and don't really want to add any more. But I'm also kind of worried about adding health food stuff in the mix.

anybody ever have trouble with it?

I don't think melatonin's effect will matter compared to three psychotropic meds. Not only is it relatively mild, I actually take it to wake up earlier, not so much to keep sleeping. Makes me wake up with the sunrise (as opposed to the usual ungodly hour..)

I think I will try it. My main sleep aid now is half a klonipin but that's not a long term solution.

I like waking up early but would like to be able to sleep at least a 7 solid hours before then.
