Seasons of Love...
1 Yesterday we had the first Drama Workshop rehearsal since we did A Love Letter last year. Suddenly, there is a brand new Drama Workshop, with a whole bunch of new faces, and a whole bunch of new personalities. It's an absolute miracle, and I enjoyed the entire rehearsal.
2 Angie and Doan came in and had all of us enjoying some theatre games, as well as enunciation exercises, and before long, everybody was acting and enjoying the rebirth of the Drama Workshop!
3 Somehow, with all that going on, I was actually able to get home at a decent hour. I still collapsed on the sofa when I walked through the door, only this time it was around 6 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. I was able to nap, and then to watch Biggest Loser.
4 Some beefalo lost 10 pounds last week, and everyone on the show said, "Wow."
5 I threw down some sausages and chocolate chasers and made fun of all the people who worked out.
6 Great show on which to goof.
7 It'd be better if I was over at the gym watching it with headphones on, and traveling nowhere on the elliptical, but for whatever reason, the school makes me sedentary.
8 I lost like 500 pounds this summer, but gained 490 of it back.
9 But I'm jolly.
10 I've lost track of stuff in the past two weeks. Been spending a tonna time online, yelling at my computer and looking at my e-mail box, which now has spider webs in it. Everybody has been WAY busy.
11 Well, that happens.
12 I'm sitting here with some REAL problems for a change, like deciding between My Name is Earl, or House, for example.
13 Yeesh.
14 And I'm just not getting the right sort of rest. Did you know that there is a Center for Narcolepsy at the Stanford School of Medicine? I went there to tell the Doctor about my insomnia concerns, but he drifted off.
15 Stanford also boasts a thing called the Stanford Sleep Disorders Clinic, evidently within the Center for Narcolepsy wing. I went into the waiting room, but all the nurses were lying on little straw mats, with mini-milk cartons next to them, and half-opened boxes of graham crackers strewn about the floor.
16 This information comes to us from a Rita E. Morales, who is a senior at Presentation High School in San Jose. Rita wrote an article about the long-term effects of sleeplessness in yesterday's Merc, the Read This! section, which is written by local high school students.
17 In the article, Morales cited some of the health risks of not getting enough sleep, including obesity, cardiovascular concerns, diabetes, and even early death.
18 Yeesh.
19 That stuff will have to get in line behind bird flus, terrorism, global warming, and clumsy people with guns.
20 Personally, I'd just like to die peacefully in my sleep.
21 If I could get to sleep after collapsing on the couch from 7-10:30 each night...
22 Well, looks like another all-nighter, so I think I'll go for a caffeine run.
23 Seems caffeine leads to serious sleep disorders.
24 Do ya think?
25 What they need to do is to cancel mid-terms and finals.
26 Okay then, I'm off. I have a night sky to stare at, like Bart Simpson.
27 Party on.
28 Peace.
