Thursday
I’m tired.
And hungry. (Can’t forget the “hungry.”)
(::: edit ::: The hunger has been abated.)

I’m not sure “why,” but I had a difficult time getting to sleep last night. I think that it took me oven an hour to fall asleep. One would think that I should be far more tired than I am currently. *shrug* Maybe it will hit me soon.

  • pointed out the Top 250 Films list on IMDb. I have seen 88 of them. ( just told me that he’s seen 163 of them; I feel like a slacker.) As a corollary, check out the American Film Institute’s 100 Years… 100 Lists.

Namaste.
