Insomnia is taking hold. I’m not sure what is going on lately, but I do not like it. I was thrilled last night because I felt like I would actually sleep well… and well, I did… for a few hours. Then I woke up at 3 a.m., wide awake. Now it is 4 a.m. and I’m not sure what to do at 4 a.m. on a Friday morning other than bitch about how I am awake at 4 a.m. on a Friday morning. So there you have it. Random thoughts, episode two.
I got my flu shot today. It was infinitely less scary than I imagined. I imagined I would start convulsing minutes after receiving the shot, my face would explode into blisters within an hour, and by the time night rolled around, my arm would be covered in gangrene and I would lose all feeling until it was time for amputation. And well, it is merely but a little sore at the sight of puncture, and I can handle that. But I’m still waiting for the creepy-crawlies to ooze out of the hole and kill me in my sleep.
I can’t wait to move into a new place so I can deck it out with houseplants.
I met a lady the other night who hyphenated her last name with a slash. Is that weird? I think that is weird. However, I like weird. In this format, if I married Dr. Dolittle, my name could potentially be Sarah Ause/Doolittle. I think I like hyphens better.
I just love it when reporters give you the wrong time for a shoot, so you show up an hour and a half early, have nothing to do in the meantime, show up again to find the most boring photo assignment ever, then realize reporter is not even coming, then find yourself unable to leave until 8:30, extending your work day almost three hours longer than you expected. Thanks reporter! Well, I suppose I could have left earlier, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it because I didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the darling little old ladies who were occupying my time. I figured I could go home and do nothing (web codery is still on hiatus)… or I could sit around with little old ladies and do nothing. I figured sitting around with them wasn’t doing me any harm. I had nothing else to do. They were darling ladies and I was happy to spend my Thursday night with them (even if it took me a little while to realize it). Reporter still owes me a beer though.
I also knocked out my last-ever question of the week. Oh my god, it’s really over. Hallelujah!
I bought some Normans from the D-News. Huzzah for nice light… even if the light is older than I am.
I met the greatest Italian guy ever today. I’m a vegetarian and he is a sausage-maker, but I very much admire what he does and why he does it. Cristiano, I hope you get your family here soon.
Cats temporarily taken off execution list. They are being sweet. I still have to sleep with earplugs in though. But well, I guess I’m not sleeping much anyway.
TGIF!
Olympic Lindsey is back in town for two weeks and we’re getting dinner tonight. Now I am moving away, but I think I will try to visit Park City when she visits Park City, so our newly-resumed friendship can remain intact.
I’m smiling right now because I am in love with the fact that I am forever done with the question of the week.
When I move, I will not miss my roommates cats, at all. I will, however, miss the crazy dog. But actually, I probably won’t after I have to spend an entire week with her by myself over Thanksgiving. Let’s hope we do not repeat what happened last time. We might take a road trip this time.
Now I think it’s time to try to sleep again. But I don’t think it will happen. What on Earth is going on? I blame the flu shot. If I die in my sleep, know that I love you all (and please sue somebody).

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
