the format.

So, I was laying around in bed just now, and I couldn't seem to settle down enough to fall asleep like I wanted. You know, one of those moods where you just continually roll around and get no closer to sleep. Anyway, while I was endlessly failing at sleeping (funny concept, that is) a song got stuck in my head. I couldn't place it at first. And I couldn't remember the lyrics. I'm sure plenty of you experience this sort of obnoxious phenomenon often enough. I know I hate it, and I bet you do, too.

In any case, I finally figured out what it was (much to my relief). During this last winter, I really got into this band called The Format... well, ex-band, technically and tragically. In particular, I fell in love with their album titled "Interventions & Lullabies." The song that kept playing in my head as I tried to sleep was a track called I'm Ready, I Am. Click that title there to follow the link to a site where you can listen to the track. You can also click here for a lyrics page, if you're into that sort of thing.

So, that particular song is the whole reason for this blog, I guess. It's definitely one of my favorite songs (not like I don't have a whole bundle of songs I'm in love with, but you get the point). Over this last winter, this song definitely made life a little happier and more bearable when stuff got really messy. No worries, I'm not saying my life is messy right now. In fact, my life is much simpler than it has been in quite a while. But, I thought I'd share a song that means a lot to me with all of you. If you dig that particular track, let me know and I'd be happy to make a mix including it for you :] I haven't made many mixes lately, and it's something I enjoy. So hey, why not?

Oh, and, I love you all :]

wanted list.

So, lately, I wrote up a partial list of movies I've been wanting to see or have already seen & would like to buy. This isn't any sort of list intended to be viewed as a wish list. It's sort of just a personal reminder to myself of what I'd like to buy if I ever have some extra money.

Any other suggestions? So far, I have:

Benny & Joon.
Dead Poet's Society.
Elizabethtown.
I Am Sam.
The Notebook.
The Prestige.
The Royal Tenenbaums.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

of insomnia and criminals.

Blah. Once again, I take to the blog. And once again, I really don't have much to say. But, the need to type is more important to me right now than the necessity for interesting content. Sorry.

I've been having a really difficult time sleeping lately. Maybe I should try Melatonin. I've heard it works, but sleeping meds kind of scare me. Anyway, in the last week or so, I've been up until 3am, if not 4am. Yeah, not exactly a friendly time of night, err... morning. Either way, it's been irritating. I've been sleeping in 'til about 1 or 2pm on a pretty daily basis. Also not helpful, considering my sleeping pattern. No idea what to do about it. Just felt like complaining, I guess.

In other news, I finished my season 2 dvds of Criminal Minds. Upsetting, since I'm out of stuff to watch now (at least until I buy season 3). Actually, that's a lie. I should probably watch commentaries for the few episodes on seasons 1 and 2. That'd be interesting. I'll do that.

Well, I suppose I'm done boring you all (if anyone reads this silly thing).

I'm off to attempt sleep. Or to stare at Gubie the nightlight. Whichever works out. Haha.
