Didn't get to sleep until after 3:30 am last night. R. went to bed around 10:30, I followed on around 10:45, after watching another half hour of Casino. | If you've never seen this movie, you really need to. The characters are absorbing and the cast is strong. There are three fairly gruesome scenes in it: Pen-Neck SceneEye-Pop SceneBeaten and buried alive sceneIt really takes you into the old Vegas - I assume, I've never been there - old or new... |
We did go to Shreveport once. I think we had more fun doing non-casino stuff than we did gambling. I particularly enjoyed the Red River cruise.
So anyway. 12:30 am, and I'm still wide awake. Fortunately no toothache, but I can't breathe through my nose, so my mouth is dry, so I drink water, so I have to get up to take a leak, so my rest gets disrupted...you get the idea.
Tried to get R. interested in a little nocturnal excitement but she was Captain Snuggles and couldn't be roused. 1:30 am. 99 change hands...2:15 am. Get up. Pee. Make some warm milk with instant decaf. I guess thats a decaf latte? 3:00..Computer. Smoke. Pee. Bed. 99 change hands. Finally, my nose clears up! But by this time its 3:30, so I email my boss and tell him I'm working from home today.
So I did. Got a fair bit done too. Finally got the revised W2 mag media file out, and got a fair way into the training system. Decided to go object oriented this time, just for the practice, since we're heading towards Java at work.
J. just got home so I went and got my beer for tonight. I am determined to get a good night's sleep tonight...
Alright that's it for now
