sisabetFirstly: This has been posted, quite rightly, all over my friendslist, but on the off-chance that there is someone reading this here who hasn't seen it: counteragent's little sister is very sick. Her diagnosis is uncertain and right now the family is searching for people they call "comparables" - people with similar symptoms and treatments that they've used. Please, take a few minutes and check out their blog at http://jenjensfamily.blogspot.com/
Thank you.
My sleep issues seem rather silly, but here is an update: melatonin knocks me out (Sekrit message tojarrow: I am sorry I wimped out and fell asleep before I could do the thing I said I would do. Tonight? Is tonight good?). This is good to know. Also, melatonin, unlike Benadryl, doesn't make me a zombie. I am wide awake and aware of what I am doing, which is always a plus when posting something online.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to keep me asleep for a full seven hours - I woke up at 5am today. At this point in my life, I am okay with this. I've fixed breakfast, given Sid his medicine, put a load of clothes in the dryer and watched an hour of MTV and they actually played, gasp, videos. It was crazy. In the 40 minutes I watched they played a Rihanna vid and then an Usher vid. I flipped during commercials and turned right back and there was Rihanna again! Since I love her, I was okay with her showing up again so soon even if she brought Maroon 5 with her. After that it was Fall Out Boy's "Beat It" cover which they ran viewer-comments over which kinda sucked because I wanted to watch the actual video. The cover wasn't that great, but there was Donald Faison! And BUSTER!!! Then they played "Handlebars" by Flobots and that is the first video I've seen in a long time that caused me to stop everything else I was doing and just watch. Awesome.
Also, I think this is a Heroes song. Possibly.
Also, Also: What is the deal with that Maroon 5 dude, Adam Levine? Why does he never smile? I mean, not once - I have never seen him crack a smile ever and he is all over my TV right now - he is on some dumb commercial and then he was in that hilarious Andy Samberg "Iran So Far" SNL thing and you'd think one time, just one time - he'd crack a grin*. Maybe even a shy, looking down kinda self-deprecating type almost wry, little tiny movement upwards of his lips. I mean - even Tom Cruise does that. But, no - he just keeps posturing as this super-intense dude who can't even enjoy the fact that he has Rihanna in her underwear draping herself all over him. Which, maybe he is this humorless, super-intense dude - wouldn't be the first one in the world.
*I should say: I get why he isn't smiling in the short and that in this particular instance it makes it funnier - just that his shtick is getting old fast. At least for me.
