I’ll sleep when I’m dead

Yes, folks, erin-go-blog is pulling her first all-nighter in, well, a very long time.

Why, you ask?

Because, at 3:30 am (EST), she is driving to BFE, po-dunk, middle-of-nowhere to an abbey where a bunch of trappist monks make bread. And they start the bread at 5 am.

Oy. I don’t get paid enough for this!

(speaking of, I’m probably the only person who hopes that Friday is NOT declared a national holiday as I, probationary employee, still do not get holiday pay.)

I’ve had moments where I’ve thought, “maybe I should lie down for an hour.” No, no, I know that’s crazy talk. It would just make it worse. I stay up. I don’t have to go into the office tomorrow. I can sleep the afternoon away if I want to.

I put some Pepsi in the freezer and left it in just a touch too long, and now I have a Pepsi slushy. Which wouldn’t be bad, except that’s not what I wanted. I just wanted my Pepsi to be cold.

While it IS kind of fun being a part of the insomniac television phenomenon, I’ll probably be sorry I did this in a few hours…caffeine, people. Caffiene is the key.

I feel like I should be doing something constructive. Writing. Reading. Job hunting. Journaling. Calling in the one… 😉 Hell, even watching a movie…

Speaking of reading, I finally did read “Holes,” and I loved it. I also read another YA novel that I’d been waiting for, “Messenger” by Lois Lowry. Anyone else out there read this one? I was so looking forward to it. I loved “The Giver” and “Gathering Blue,” but this one disappointed me a bit. Thoughts?

I *heart* Harry Potter

I am so excited about the new Harry Potter movie. 🙂

I don’t know when I’m going to go see it, though. I would like to go see it this weekend, which would mean going by myself. Yes, I could go alone, but I’ve never been a fan of going to the movies alone. Ah, we’ll see…

I read an article in which Daniel Radcliffe, the boy who plays Harry, speculates that Harry won’t survive the final book. Well, that just wouldn’t be cool. Frodo saved Middle Earth without plunging into the Cracks of Doom with the ring! Meg rescued Charles Wallace from IT and beat the dark thing without anyone dying! Buffy….oh, wait, Buffy DID die to save the world. But she came back! So listen, JK Rowling? Don’t kill Harry. Thank you.
