So tired

[judecorp]

I am wiped out today. I don't know why. Maybe because I woke up twice last night (once at 2am to pee, once at 6:20am to temp) - I hate when I drink liquids at dinner time because I always wake up to pee. When did I get the bladder of doom?

When I got to my last home visit tonight (5:30pm), the kid was sick and the dad said I should go home. Awesome, because I got to go home early! And they /never/ cancel. Instead, I came home and sat on the porch with The Movie Thief, who ended up making me a huge salad for dinner. So I didn't even have to cook or anything, it was just handed to me. And it had such good stuff in it - lettuce and tomatoes and carrots and zucchini and mushrooms and blue cheese and damn, it was good. And then I went upstairs and had some ice cream.

I've been sitting here watching Grizzly Man for the last hour and a half or so, and that Timothy Treadwell dude is really freaky. I mean, I'm a goofy pinko lefty environmentalist but this dude? He makes me look like Charlton Heston. Also, I bet he was a furry. And he had bad hair. But really, he obviously loved what he did which is admirable, but he was also quite disturbed. I wonder what it was like for his parents to watch the movie. I guess I liked it but I didn't love it - I liked the footage and also getting into the mind of the man a little bit, but he was just a little too wacky for me and I couldn't totally get into it. But now that I am returning it, I will get not one but TWO discs of Queer as Folk!

In other news of the awesome, I decided to burn some vacation time before I get my next two-week installment on July 19th (rumor has it we can only carry 4 weeks, and I have about 2 weeks right now), so I'm taking off from June 28th to July 4th, Wednesday to Tuesday. I think I'll run up to Maine to see rizzo41 on Thursday through Saturday morning, spend the weekend with Jen, and use the other days to get stuff done around the house and just not be at work. I've never taken vacation time without having somewhere to GO, so this will be a nice change.

Good times.

I thought the same thing about that movie! Like... as far as a movie...? Cool, but not amazing. But as a chance to observe someone completely unadulterated- heck yes! Sweet bear footage. Interesting hippie semi-sexual animalism.

He was such a bizarre man with so many issues. It was like watching a train wreck. I admired the way he wanted to educate people (especially children) but I was so incredibly sad for him and how cracked out he was.

But yeah, the bear footage was neat. Especially that fight! Wow.

every night goes like this: get really thirsty and drink a lot before bed.

wake up to pee, feel really thirsty. pee, drink some more.

rinse, repeat like 4x a night.

it's so annoying!

That would not only drive me bananas, but I would never make it through a work day!

I'm not a good napper. I can't sleep when it's daylight out. AT ALL.

chris and i are irreverent and mean. we're always like "look at the big bear, he's such a big bear."

it was painful to watch that movie. that guy clearly had major fucking issues. i mean, do grizzlies in a wildlife peserve need some unarmed hippie dude to "protect" them? i don't think so.

Well then I am just as bad, because I couldn't stop saying, "I love you. I love you. I love you." when I was walking around the office. :)

And yeah, that guy was totally tapped. I wonder if he was just unable to relate to most people? I'm not sure. I thought it was really interesting when they talked about how he was obsessed with poachers. I guess maybe he really needed to feel needed? Who knows, he was so cracked.

"I love you."
"God, Downy needs to eat!!"

Weird.
