I'm usually in bed every night at 9pm. I don't watch much tv.
So the only thing that annoys me more than the tv station changing one of my shows to a starting time of 10.30pm, is them making it sound that doing so is a lovely experience for me.
Is this the only house in australia that watches Lost anymore? Are there so few people watching it now that it has to start at 10.30pm. Remember the good old days when it used to start at 8.30pm?
But it's the way they announce it as being at A Special New Time that pisses me off.
It's very special. Thats why I'm sitting here at 9.17pm eating chocolate and drinking coffee, with over two hours ahead of me before I hit the pillow.
I know, I know, I could tape it. But I never seem to go back and watch anything I tape. If I don't watch it, I don't see it.
So I'm filling some time. (What did we do before the internet.) And I found this.
These are plans someone drew in 1670 for a flying machine. I'm just not sure about it. I can't imagine ever really feeling optimistic that this was ever going to work
But I hope the guy who drew this is up there now looking at all our flying machines. I think he'd get a real kick out of them
I often wake up through the night and find myself somewhere that is definietly not my bedroom. I could be lost crawling through a desert, trapped in the dark in an underground maze or once even travelling in a space ship. Thats was kind of nice actually but the other times are mostly frightening and I wake with my heart pounding and really feeling fear.
Once I woke and I was a radio operator in the war. There were bombs and gunfire and I was trapped in this room. So I saw the crack of light under the door and thought I would creep over and have a look out and maybe escape. So I got out of bed and crawled over to the door and super slowly opened it to peek out the crack. Of course what I saw was my husband sitting on the lounge playing the playstation, looking at me. He didn't say anything because he's used to this kind of stuff happening. I just said 'oh, it's ok' and went back to bed.
You know it's very exhausting escaping and surviving different situations all the time. Crawling through the desert was terrible because I was trying to reach the beacon of safety. Which turned ou to be the stand by light on my TV. I just couldn't get to it.
But I have found a way to help myself back home. A while back I woke up and I was in a bed on the verandah of a large house. I had no idea where I was and it was as usual pitch black. But I looked over and saw a clock. And it said 3am. So I thought - well it will start getting light at about 5am so I can just lie here for two hours then work out what to do. Then I went - Hang on a minute, thats my clock, I'm in my bed. So now when I find myself awake I know to look for the clock. If I see the clock, its okay, I'm in bed. lol - if I don't see the clock I guess I'm screwed.
