And so, here I am. Head dizzy, throat scratchy, eyes sleep deprived, lips happy. For the past several weeks, I can't remember the last time I left work at 6 PM, or even 7 PM. This week was no exception. Monday Nola Pictures kept its doors open until 9:30 PM, Tuesday, 8:00. After much patience, I was told the most wonderful news that I'd be able to go home today at a decent hour. And, today, from the horse's mouth herself, I have been told the office will have to be open until 9:30 again. This makes me head more dizzy, my throat more scratchy, my eyes more sleep deprived and my lips less happy. In what little time I have available at home, I am sleeping. This crazy schedule has made it so I haven't had a proper dinner in 3 days. For two reasons, really. 1) I have no food in the house. By the time I get out, the local grocery store sealed shut. How does one eat when they get out after all the stores close? 2) By the time I cross the threshold of my apartment, I violently throw off my jacked and outerwear attire to faintly fall into my bed. From there, I sleep, for as well as I can, only to arise the next morning and repeat.

Oh yeah, I have not been sleeping well. Between the cat (who is smart enough to get into my room unless I create some sort of contraption including two doors and a blowdryer) and my wonderful roommate Sarah (who enjoys her morning conversations and leisure time), I am awaken too early to function. I am also one of those people who cannot fall back asleep upon many distractions. In the past, I have been lucky enough to be woken up, turn over and fall back asleep. Now, my head is swollen with thoughts. what ifs, and all around excitement. I miss my sleep. I miss my sleep very very much. If you see it, please return it to me at this address...

My weekends (and some of my weekdays) have been filled with good company, strange feelings, and alcohol. Living in Williamsburg BK, I find it nearly impossibly to stay inside much. This weekend will be good. I'm not sure if Jake will be here or not, but Sarah, as well as some of my other weekenders, will be gone, so I'm hoping for a relaxing weekend of food and Adobe CS3. Maybe I'll venture back to the origin and get my PS2 and expresso machine. I've been yearning for these two items since I moved in. I am a coffee junkie and a 10 year old boy at heart. Actually, I don't play many video games, but I love watching people play, or learning stories as they unravel. (Needless to say, I'm a RPG fanatic... mostly Final Fantasy).

Maybe this weekend I will work on my 8-bit music and Harmonica playing. Well, we will just have to wait to find out what happens. This is how I do things now. I wait. If something happens, cool, if not, well, there will be another time.
