So Anyway...

[Randomly as pages load ...]

It's 4-something AM. I'm waiting for pages to load in another window. I've had 3 hours of sleep (almost exactly) and I'm working for another 4 and a half hours until I can go back to sleep so I can go to work at the store then come home and work until 2am.

At least I'm getting sleep today. Next Friday: don't ask. In the joys of scheduling, it looks like I'm working over 24 hours without a break.

I love life.

I was only able to get up on time tonight because I essentially poisoned myself with garlic veggies for dinner. I know garlic is hard on my stomach and I wake up at like 3am with stomach cramps. So I made the veggies for dinner just so I'd have cramps and wake up on time. It worked, I got a little rest, and I slept a little before the pain hit. Now I'm downing a prilosec and hoping the cramps stop.

In my half hour break coming up (god knows when), I am going to disable the DVD burner on this machine and put in the old 3rd hard drive. I can't have everything in because I've blown two power supplies so far with this system and I really can't afford a 3rd time right now.

It's sad that the only shows I really look forward to these days are 'the Office' and 'Dr. Who.' Even sadder that Dr. Who is almost done for the season.

I was digging 'Studio 60' for a while, but then they lost the edge they had in the first episode and now the flaws are more obvious as the show's ratings plummet. I'm half expecting a kid sidekick or gimmicks to make people watch. Though the problem really is that the three people they have as the "stars" of the show-within-the-show aren't believable as their characters. The actors aren't strong enough to carry the roles and the material is stuff that flat out isn't funny so they can't feature it that much.

Right now they're in the middle of a frantic two parter with special guest star John Goodman. Well, from what I saw of part one, it could have been wrapped up with a feel good moment at the end of the first hour and that would be that. There was no point in drawing the story out except they needed a mcguffin for half the cast to be gone to put the "romance" storyline characters together. Even though they have no chemistry. Even though no one cares. Even though a "Sam & Diane" ('Cheers' people!) moment would kill the series. Oh well.

And on that note...
