On Sunday mornings I get up at regular work hours and go running. So Saturday would be the only day of the week that I can sleep in. But I seem to be unable to do that anymore. Last night I was up until 4:00 in the morning, but still my body decided that I was still on schedule and woke me up by 8:00. That is not enough sleep.
I wish I could say I was up having wild parties, and only decided that, after waking up in a pile of my own vomit, that it was time to go home. But no. I was out playing games until 2:30 in the morning. Then when I got home I got sucked into a few more chapters of “Angels and Demons“. Good book. I’m looking forward to the sequel.
A side-effect of lack of sleep is a real dazed expression in my brain today. I was a zombie going through the motions. I can’t even come up with snappy comebacks at all. I could have spent the whole day doing unproductive things. But this evening I went out to the local Chapters store where there was a special guest.
Mike Ford was supposed to be there tonight. He used to be in Moxy Fruvous, and I loved that band. However, when I got there I found that Mr. Ford was delayed. His train was stuck at Lake Wabanum, site of famous train wrecks and a case history of what not to do if one of your trains spills oil into a summer cottage lake.
So I might be able to see Mike Ford tomorrow. But I did get to talk to an improv buddy. He mentioned some informal workshops that he was involved in. It sounds interesting and it would be nice to keep up the improv skills. However, they are on Saturday evenings. I can barely stay awake, so not tonight. And the next two weekends are Fringe Festival (Wahoo!) which will pretty much nix that idea.
