Didn't watch Angel last night. I was far too sleepy, and after I read distraction77's review I was in no mood to stay up. Charisma Carpenter is purty, but she wasn't enough for me to sit through the episode. Ah well.

I listened to Rufus Wainwright's album Poses almost constantly the last two days. Then yesterday afternoon, I wanted to hear Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark. Don't ask me what the connection is between the albums, other than I own both. But oooh! Such good music! I remember hearing "Help Me" as a little girl (I was 5 or 6) and falling in love with the sound of the song. I still adore it; so lush. She used her voice more like a saxophone, shaping the tone like a jazzman. Gorgeous. Then I play "Car on a Hill" and I'm blown away by the power of her imagery, and the notes she chose to evoke the sense of anxious waiting. Good lord, that's some cool music.

I slept last night! Peacefully! Holy shit, my brain doesn't know what to do with itself. Granted, sometimes it likes to play around with sleep deprivation--the one surefire way I had to do Quantum Mechanics homework back in college was to stay up for 18 hours or so. All of a sudden, something clicked and I saw the answer. But I digress. Right now, my little brain feels like it's running twice or three times as fast as usual, only because it's probably working on twice or three times the rest it has been. Yay for sleep!

What I watched of it was lame. Really lame. So I took a bath instead.

Hopefully I'll find some peaceful sleep soon. Sleep. Ah!!!

I thought "quantum" meant "add an extra 0", not "subtract several 'z's"

Both. It's calculus.

Don't wimp out and get regular sleep. Then you skip a lot of excitement that life offers. Like thinking "can I stay up for the whole drive home?" or wondering "how slowly can my mind crawl through simple tasks?" Life is so much more exciting when you're sleep deprived.

As far as Angel went, it was okay. Better than Smallville. Better than oral surgery. Maybe I should have spent more time working on putting together my financial statements for The Big D instead of watching it, cause that might have been more satisfying. As it was, I managed to update my checkbook during Smallville and catch up on emails during Angel. Woo-hoo.

Of course, Kaya thinks I should have spent the time petting her, feeding her, and letting her drool on me, but what does a cat know about how I use my time?

First, when your drive home is from Carlsbad to San Diego, trying to stay awake is a little too exciting a game. Second, The Boss tends to frown upon it when I have to chuck a plate and redo an entire experiment because my concentration is faulty.

She's right. After all, she's older than you relatively speaking. ;)

Charisma's character has just gotten so bored and tired as time has gone by.

Totally. Cordelia used to be so lively, had such spark. Then blah.

I didn't watch Angel either but I got a recap from ah_mee so I'm cool. I was too busy being lame and watching American Idol. I don't know why--I normally shut it off after the auditions are done. I just like laughing at people but for some reason, I felt like watching it yesterday.

Glad you had a peaceful sleep last night. Yay! Now try and get some more of that tonight, okay? :)

I'll try. Don't want to jinx it, though.
