So Sleepy

The worst part about going someplace with a 12 hour time difference from your norm is the jet lag. And boy, do I have it! I went to bed at 8:00 PM, after forcing myself to stay awake and watch "13 Going on 30" on tv last night. I woke up around 11:30, then around 1:30 and for the most part, stayed awake. I think I may have drifted off for about 15 minutes at 3:30. I got to work early today and have less than 2 hours to go. I can't wait to get home and sneak in a nap before dinner.

During my lunch hour, I went to the drugstore bought some "Simply Sleep", which is Tylenol PM without the pain reliever. Hopefully, this will help me get more than 3 hours of sleep tonight!

Over the weekend, I got caught up on all my TiVo'd shows. I think it was the sleeplessness in the wee Saturday morning hours when I caught up on "Ugly Betty". What a great show! I love it's campiness. Reminds me of the short-lived show "Popular". And in the wee Sunday morning hours, I caught up on 3 episodes of "Smallville". I wasn't crazy about the episode where Clark gets possessed by a phantom and is trying to figure out why he's in a mental institution but the episode from the week before was awesome. Hot guys saving the world. What's not to like?

I'm not sure anyone is even into Smallville anymore. Heck, if it weren't for TiVo, I probably wouldn't think to watch it on my own. But I'm glad I do. It's a good escape, no matter how outlandish some of the story lines can be.

While in Thailand, I saw an episode of "Lost" dubbed in Thai. I never watched that show here, so seeing a random episode (in Thai, no less) didn't really get me thinking I ought to check out the first season and do a "Lost" marathon. I've heard all kinds of good things about the show... maybe I'll catch up when it's in syndication on some cable channel. That's what I'm doing with CSI. I never watched the original, but somehow got into watching the Miami version. John and I like how David Caruso likes to repeat a key point he wants to make. Pretty funny.

OK... back to work. I wish my ride home was shorter than it is. I really need a nap!
