Yow. Last night was not a good night. Went to bed around 11pm, woke up at 2am, could not get back to sleep again. Lay awake until 5.30, at which point I summoned the gumption to crawl out of bed and dose myself silly on muscle relaxants. Woke up with a hell of a jump at 9am, feeling obscurely guilty and very, very zoned. Managed to do DT today, but not much else.

Life's little ironies. My copy of Radiohead's OK Computer will not play in my computer CD ROM drive. I can't work out if this is an accidental irony or a deliberate statement on the part of the band.

Wolverine_nun, lovely lady, found me a copy of Murakami's Norwegian Wood. Shall read it when I've caught up on sleep.

Not OK Computer

Well, apparently EMI Music Canada (Radioheads label) is producing copy-protected CDs. You could try holding down shift while inserting the CD, but I suspect your best bet is to download the mp3 from somewhere. Funny, isn't it? Copy protection forces you to get your music from an illegitimate source.

Your sleep patterns are ... disturbing. I mean, I just skip on sleep. That way, when I do crawl into bed, my pathetically grateful body just zonks out until the alarm wakes me again.

1) I've been having pretty much exactly that sleep problem a lot lately. Blech.

2) However, my dreams are not quite as dramatic. Last night all I remember is I found out (in my sleep) that the SA movie which won an Oscar nomination (of which I'd never heard until the Oscars were announced) was in fact a moving drama starring Brad&Jen and directed, bizarrely, by Frederic of Hollywood (having dropped the k). What exactly made it South African, I do not know.

3) Apropos of nothing except, possibly, making you jealous, yesterday I found beautiful new hardcover editions of James Thurber's "Life and Hard Times" and of the Snark, with Mervyn Peake illustrations. This made me very happy, and made me think of you.
