I Am Sooo Tired!

I woke up this afternoon and rolled over to look at the clock.  The usual 2 pm was staring back at me, and I said, "I think we should see other people."  The fact I was awake enough to be this funny indicated that I was too awake to reenter my hibernation.  When I returned to bed after emptying my child-sized bladder (a bladder the size of a child's not the size of a child) with this post already half written in my head, I knew I would be unable to fall back asleep.  As with any good self-fulfilling prophesy, I kept writing this story despite my efforts to turn my mind off and resume my siesta.  After a few short minutes of unfruitful consciousness, I gave slumber up as a bad job and resigned myself to the fact I can rarely sleep more than six hours at a time.

State of Discovery

Last year I linked a State Farm commercial staring Aaron Rodgers.  Here it is again with two sequels included.  State Farm's latest commercial stars Wrigley Field and a couple of former Cubs.  I am a big fan of their non-sports related commercials also.  If I was not so lazy or if changing insurance agencies was less difficult, I would sign up with State Farm based on nothing other than the brilliance of their advertising campaigns.

The words she knows, the tune she hums

The last book I read I chose based on nothing other than the title.  Hold Me Closer, Necromancer is the greatest book title ever.  If you don't recognize the comic genius of this title, it is a play on the Elton John classic Hold Me Closer Tony Danza, that tells the story of a housekeeper striving to establish himself as the boss despite the fact that Alyssa Milano is clearly in charge.  In addition to the great title, each chapter shares its name with a famous song or song lyric.

Next on my reading list is the biography about our sixteenth president and his mission to end slavery and slay the undead.  There is a new documentary out about his life, so I have decided to read the book before seeing the movie.

The Last Airbender

Lately I have been getting my money's worth from my Netflix account.  I started out watching half hour tv shows on my phone during my lunch break at work.  That was probably the best decision I have made all year.  I discovered some great television shows doing this.  The best of them being Avatar: The Last Airbender.  It is one of the five best shows of all time, not just cartoons, but of all television.  If you have access to Netflix and have not watched this show, you are wasting your life.  For those of you unfamiliar with the story here's an introduction.
