Meh.

I'm having a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep.  I feel uneasy--my legs are restless, and I feel quivery and jumpy, like I've had excessive amounts of caffeine--but I haven't.

Funny.  I slept half the day away yesterday and not at all today.  Yet, i went to bed at about 12:30, and I slept fitfully for about 2 1/2 hours.  I petted the cat for a while and tossed and turned.  Finally I decided the only thing to do was to sit up and write a little and get all this shit out of my head.

I have no idea why I should feel so restless and anxious.  There is no reason.  None.

And I don't think any odd weather system is passing through.

I suppose it could be the mind control rays that the Bush machine is beaming onto all of us.  Heh heh.  I'm probably allergic to them.

:P

God, the state of our country is so depressing.  I know we are still a lot better off than a lot of places, but yikes.  It seems like we are turning into a fascist state, and the worst thing isn't that we are--it's that SO MANY of us think it is just fucking GREAT that it's happening.

Welcome to AmeriKa.  Scary.

If I were younger and didn't have so many bills and so little money, I think I'd consider moving to another country.  At least until the idiocy dies down.

Arg.

Well, I can't think of anything else to say.  Guess I'll play Sims until I feel like I can sleep again.

Bye.

Well I cannot do much for your US politics but for the anxiety I recommend valerian -it's what I use when I'm too restless to sleep.

Good luck!

You and me, kid.

After we retire we'll have our pensions. We can sell our houses and move to Belize.

Yes, lovely Belize. Eternal spring on the Caribbean.

And they speak English there.

I saw some pretty fabuous properties you can get for a song on HGTV.

Of course, if Global Warming continues it will be rather hot there. But then the property values will probably be much more affordable.

With luck, they'll be getting their oil from Venezuela. $0.12 a gallon for gas.

I'll bring the kanines, you can pack the klones.

Oh, geez.

I'll need one whole shipping crate for the vats of olives and all the olive tongue necklaces.

We'll charter a tanker.

I hear Belize is lovely this time of year.

Hello,

This is Pat. I just finished watching the movie, Secondhand Lions...you remember you told me to watch it, about two years ago I think. It was, as expected, very good. Had be weeping like a...well...I mean those darn allegies were really acting up. I think that film will stick with me for a long time. I have seen so many totally forgettable 90 minute segments of mere sound and movement that I have pretty much given up expecting to actually ever again see a powerful, artful film. Anyway, I found it very moving.

Also, I send you my sympathies on Mel G. You must be in shock and griefing now. The drinking...well, I can not hold that against him...but I never took him for antisemitic. Why is there so much hatred in this world anyway? And why does virtually every other person one runs into hate Jews? Kinda makes me want to buy a Jewish Flag and fly it in my yard. I was very disappointed to read his comments. I still like him of course, but disappointed still.

Yes, I was very disappointed to hear what he said. It is my understanding that his father is very antisemetic. Perhaps when drunk, he reverts to childhood thoughts.

I was happy that he apologized for what he said.

Secondhand Lions was an awesome movie. I'm glad you finally got around to watching it.

Take care of those allergies, now!

Hugs!

If you ever decide to sell your house for a ticket to England, you can bunk with me! (while Kvetch gets his cellar de-frogged, cos it'll take some time)


I haven't been sleeping recently either. It's annoying, cos it's the holidays. But I can't bring myself to close my eyes at all. Not even to sleep in. GAH! The leg thing... it's something to do with iron, or something. Bloody annoying though, innit?

Well... I can't say that my view of America is any nicer than yours. I mean... you have 'freedom' fries for god's sake! Half the country's living in a denial filled land of no war while the other half is making sure they stay there.

Woah... wait. Did I write that? Really? WTF is in my coffee today???

[chochiyo-sama.livejournal.com]

I used to have the leg thing too--I eventually got over it.

Take a good multi vitamin! And maybe a shot of whiskey right before bed....ah....no, better not do that. Heh heh heh.

I'd love to sell my house and move to England. I just figured out that I CAN retire in 7 years, if I want to. I can't imagine that I would, but....it's nice to know I CAN. I'd love to come live in England for a while.
