Good Morning!

Sometimes you can't sleep because you've done something wrong. Sometimes you can't sleep because you've done somethinng right, and you're so excited about the next day, that it just can't come fast enough. Sometimes you can't sleep because you get involved in something and just don't realize what time it is.

I don't have a television in my room. I'm finding that I don't need a television in my room. Fancast.com has free movies and TV shows. Granted, there is no Law and Order, but there is Hawaii Five-O. Who wouldn't get hooked on a 60's show where they don't even Mirandize the perp? (As a side note, they didn't Mirandize them because there was no such thing as Miranda Rights until 1966.) I've watched an episode or two of Hawaii Five-O. I've also seen Bones, Numb3rs, and CSI. Great shows, all but tonight I started watching Harper's Island. In the five episodes I've watched, the best comparison I can make is "Final Destination." All three of them rolled into one TV show. Week after week people get killed. And no two are the same.

I started the first episode around 12:30 and finished it about 40 minutes later. The sky was black (or as black as it can be in Jersey City.) Second episode finished, still black. Plenty of time to get some sleep before work. Third, now I'm beginning to see the outline of the building across the street in the dark gray sky. Fourth, a lighter shade of pale. I just finished the fifth episode and the sky is light. The only thing keeping me from calling this daylight, is the time. I don't care how bright it is outside, it can never be daylight at 5:30 in the morning. Dawn, maybe-daylight, never.

I think I'm going to watch one more episode of this wretched, wreteched show, and then go get some breakfast. Just what I need after seeing people die in every possible way all night long. A nice stack of pancakes!

Carry on, then!
