bjarvis: (sleeping)

I didn't sleep worth a damn last night.

For starters, I shouldn't have turned on the TV set in the early evening. Around 9 PM, I wanted to park my butt on the couch to reward myself a little for tackling a number of other items earlier in the day. Then I became engrossed in "The Chronicles of Riddick" on TNT. It's not a great movie but the visuals & sets are pretty good --someone opened their wallet wide for this one. It kept me watching more or less continuously until 11:30 PM. By the time I was actually in bed, it was already past midnight. And that's when I found myself staring at the ceiling.

I'm not sure exactly when I finally drifted off to sleep but it was late and not particularly restful.

This morning, I'm at my desk about 15 minutes late --still hours before anyone else on my team will appear-- but I have a roaring headache and am not especially cheery.

May this day pass quickly. At least I have no activities booked for tonight.

I actually zipped by this last night. Was snacking after calling, and was going between Ice Skating/Gymnastic program, some Rock tribute to Kiss and Harry Potter.

I remember wanting to see Riddick after seeing the coming attractions, then I saw a piece of it, but have yet to watch the full thing.

Yeah, but didn't she look fabulous? :-) I did like her character's ethereal form. Still...

We love you Judi, but please take a little more care in selecting your roles. Let's do lunch some time and discuss this.

I recorded the second showing of it on [livejournal.com profile] kent4str's request... you can have the videotape if you want. Presuming it doesn't get overwritten with "Dr. Who" and "Battlestar Galactica" this Friday, of course.

I have a team meeting at 11 AM but nothing else on the schedule. Just need to hold out to lunchtime...

I surfed over to Chronicles of Riddick, too, but since I fell asleep in the recliner at 7:30 and didn't wake up till 10pm, that was a lost cause.

Good thing Dame Dench is quite excellent in Casino Royale, and we get a little christmas gift of nastiness in her first really juicy "B*TCH ROLE". suddenly having brain freeze as to the film's title.
