It’s almost 2AM. Way past my bedtime, but I can’t get to sleep. Had a nap earlier this evening when I knew I shouldn’t have, so now I’m wide awake watching an old rerun of Northern Exposure. Ironically enough, it’s the episode about the Northern Lights messing up everyone’s dreams.
I gotta say, I think Northern Exposure was one of the best TV shows ever made. It was quirky, the characters were interesting and it was just plain fun to watch. Ed was one of my favourite characters on the show. Ed was cool, in a kind of geeky sort of way.
Dogsitting
This weeked we’re dogsitting for a friend of ours. My wife says the dog, Molly, is an Australian shepherd or something like that. She has a black shaggy coat and looks shepherdish, although for some reason she lacks a tail. A dog without a tail is a very strange looking creature. Molly’s a pretty sweet dog, although a little spoiled and bratty. A bit of a scaredy cat too, at least until she gets used to things. Inquisitive too. And oh boy, does she ever drool.
She’s a high energy dog, and most definitely not an apartment dog. If we had a big yard or an acreage, she would be a cool dog to have. I thinks she’d really go for the agility test thing. She really likes to walk and was pulling me all over the place earlier. Next time we go walking I’m going to have to break out my rollerblades.
Stick a skewer in me and call me done
There are days where I wonder how the heck I ended up here. Why am I in a place where a cool summer morning is the same as a blazing hot summer day back home? Where the mornings start off at 25°C, which would be a scorching day back home. And it only gets worse from there as the day goes on. This is only the beginning of the hot season too.
I just want to get some sleep
Anybody who’s married will tell you that there are times where their spouse wakes them up in the middle of the night. Maybe it’s a jab to the side or a kick to the leg while they’re sleeping, or nights they can’t sleep so you shouldn’t be able to either. Or they get up to pee and can’t get back to sleep. Sometimes it’s for good reason. Other times there’s just no reason at all.
I wonder how many of them get woken up by a wet finger in the ear.
Yes, at 2 this morning, I woke up from my peaceful slumber to my wife sticking a finger in my ear. Not just any finger, but a wet one. And it wasn’t just moist either. It was a wet, drippy slobbery (at least I hope it was just slobbery) finger being swirled around in my ear.
My wife woke me up with a wet willie this morning. And I can tell you, it is a rather shocking way to wake up.
20 Questions
Every now and then I’ll get one of those emails from one of my friends with a bunch of questions that you’re supposed to answer and send back to people you know. You know those things that are supposed to tell your friends (and other people you don’t know) more about yourself, and things that they might not know about yet.
Got one of those today from my friend Mike, so I thought instead of spamming a bunch of people with it I’d just blog my responses. My responses probably won’t be quite as entertaining as Mike’s, but maybe someone will find it interesting.
