Insomnia pretty much sucks. I got a combined 30 minutes of sleep last night, caught a two-hour nap in between getting the kids off to school and work, and despite that, I am still wide awake at 1:47 a.m. with the alarm set to go off in three hours and 13 minutes.
I’ve got a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday and I am pretty much willing to do anything for an Ambien prescription.
Anywho. We’re at my apartment tonight (because their house is way too big and I kept imagining murderers — or, you know, Creepy Bald Dude from Heroes — climbing through the window) and everytime one of them makes a noise in the other room, I freak out. The one time I was about to fall asleep, Kevin started whispering in his sleep and I kid you not, wherever I was hovering between consciousness and unconsciousness, it sounded like when Sayid kept hearing the voices whispering in the jungle. Courtesy of my plowing through the first 14 episodes of Season 1 of Lost in the past three days. Talk about unsettling.
But insomnia has its perks. Namely I found the really great scene at the end of Tuesday’s episode of Veronica Mars, “Witchita Linebacker.” (I dunno, I kinda preferred the original title, “Friday Night Sleight.” I still don’t get the misspelling of Wichita.)
I’ve kind of re-evaulated my opinion of VM from earlier this week. I still don’t think it was as consistently great as last week’s (and nothing will ever top my absolute favorite episode, “A Trip to the Dentist”) but any episode that can deliver this YouTubed scene deserves an A. I heart Kristen Bell.
