Brain Dead

[bjarvis]

The past few days of 14-15 hour shifts is taking its toll. While I am getting enough sleep, domestic duties are slipping and neither kent4str or I have the energy to cook. Thank god for freezer foods and microwave ovens.

The ultimate in brain dead zombie life was reached last night: because nothing else was on TV and our brains were already reduced to mush, we watched on DVD the 1965 black & white Gamera The Invincible.

Lord, it was bad but we were too comatose to care.

I've always LOVED Gammora movies..

I like 'em but I'm more a Godzilla kind of guy.

Gamera is really sweet!
He is filled with turtle meat!

Were you ever an MST3K fan? ;-)

[bjarvis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we were singing that to ourselves every time Gamera made an appearance. Sick puppies. :-)

I came home from puppy kindergarten class to find the rest of my family watching Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi. I hid in the bedroom until it was over.

Then we watched, gods help us, House Hunters on HGTV.

The least you could do, stuck in that gods-forsaken hellhole, would be a NetFlix subscription. Then at least you'd always have an alternative to watch. If I was limited to what's being broadcast, even with seventy-some channels on the almost-basic cable, I think I'd go nuts.

God, maybe B's right - I am spoiled. Well, actually, we knew that.

Honey, we don't have TIME to sit down and watch a 2-hour movie! If we did, we'd probably get caught up on laundry instead.

I wonder how you can work a 15-hour day and still get enough sleep. I go to bed at 10, up at 6, home by 6:45 (public transport) and in bed by 10.

I wonder how you can work a 15-hour day and still get enough sleep.

Largely by getting brief power naps while on the subway to & from work, and during lunch (if possible). There's no me-time left in the evening as I'm off to bed almost as soon as I get home. And I can function on six hours of sleep for several consecutive days, although it does eventually catch up with me.

Thank god this week is over (or will be in a few more hours).

That whole eating & sleeping thing was so overrated anyway. :-^

That is so wrong! I can do six hours for a day, MAYBE two, but it catches up with me VERY quickly. To function well I need between 7-7.5 hours of sleep (preferably 7.5.)

Last night was particularly short since I'm working the early shift so I can make the flight to Vancouver. I got home at 6:45 and went to bed at 9:15, up at 5 AM!

I love to eat and I love to sleep. Had chicken tiki massala at lunch today...Mmm...
