Insomnia sucks.
What stinks even more are these pharmaceutical companies who insist on constant advertisements for Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata et. al. on every channel, all night long.
Between that and "Elimidate," my options for late night wide awake television are extremely limited. I'm tired (literally) of being laughed at (figuratively) because I'm awake all night long.
I need a DVD player in the bedroom so I can watch commercial free, non mocking TV at 4am.
That is all.

What Muppet are You?
| You Are Fozzie Bear |
 You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up. If only your routine didn't always bomb! You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming. |
Quote to describe a typical afternoon napping with dogs...
"If you were to look into our apartment in the late morning, or early afternoon, or toward suppertime, you might find us together sleeping. Of course a good rainy day is preferable, but even on sunny summer days, the dogs and I get into bed. Rosie dives under the quilt on my right, Harry on my left and we jam ourselves together. After a little bit, Harry starts to snore, Rosie rests her chin on my ankle, the blanket rises and falls with our breathing, and I feel only gratitude. We are doing something as necessary to our well being as food or air or water. We are steeping ouselves, reassuring ourselves, renewing ourselves, three creatures of two species, finding comfort in the simple exchange of body warmth."
--Abigail Thomas, A Three Dog Life
