Friday 6 April 2007

Late nights, early morns, mixed with alarm clock confusion.

I have two phones. My old one, which I no longer use. My new one. They are both the same model. There's a few differences but they are to all intents and purposes identical.

I'd set my alarm on the one I am currently using, I'd also set the alrm for my old one. The reason I did this was to see if my old one worked, so I wouldn't need to leave my new one on. As people have a horrible habit of wanting to get in contact with me after I have gone to bed. Despite my many "please don't call after 9pm, I'm in bed trying to sleep" no one really pays much attention.

So, into my own hands it goes.

What I'd forgotten however, was that the time and date had reset itself on my old phone. Due to not having been used in about two years.

I'd set both alarms to go off for 5:15am.

As today is good Friday and a bank holiday I had an extra hour in bed, which was wonderful. Although I'd forgotten to change the alarm on my old phone.

So I then had my new phones alarm going off at 6:15am and the old one at 5:15am.

I turned the old one on, just as I was going to bed. Ah. As the time wasn't set, it started from 00:00. Therefore It was due to go off in just five hours and fifteen minutes. Around 1:30am, those wonderful 5 hours and fifteen minutes later.

I woke up hearing the alarm and reached up, everything was still dark, as I've grown accustomed to in my now morning ritual. I reached up and grabbed for the phone and stopped the clock. I looked at the time on it's face, sure enough it said 5:15am, so I had an extra hour of sleep, I lay down and allowed myself to drift away.

I next remember coming to from a worrying dream. I reached up and grabbed for one of the phones, I got hold of my current one and looked at the time.

1:45am

Buh. Wuh? Huh...

It then all clicked into place and I remembered that the time wasn't right on my old phone. I'd gotten confused in my nightime activities.

It was weird. I'd almost felt like a time traveller.

Alien Planet.



I originally saw this programme on the descovery channel yonks ago. It's a really interesting look into the future of robotic space exploration.

All parts of the whole episode are there. It was nice to watch it again. It's a really well thought out idea.

Nearly nearly.

A day lays between me and the new Transformers movie. I can hardly contain my wee self. I've been waiting for this film since I was a young one with the toys.
I remember sitting down in front of the tv watching the opening credits. "More than meets the eye".

It really was.

I wonder how many other late 20 early thirty somethings will be going to see this film... Probably quite a few.

Hopefully it'll live up to all expectations. Hopefully...

Anyway. Do you ever wonder why you do something? Why you said "yes, I'll do that" When in reason you can find none. You're just doing it to do it. Almost just because you could say yes. That's me at the moment. I just said "yeah, why not?"

I really don't know why not. It's bizare to say the least. But agreed and confirmed to do things I have. So I will do them and I will see where they lead.

I wonder if there's a greater mind at work when that happens? Meh. What ever...

What ever will be will be? Do I really have any control over "my life".

Lay in.

It was nice. I didn't get out of bed until 6:15am Mmm... It was really nice. I'll have to wait till Sunday to enjoy that again.

I knew I'd miss lay-ins. Premium once more.

Anyway. This Saturday the brand spanking new Transformers movie will be coming out!!!

I WILL BE THERE! At the cinema, promptly, sat in my seat with a massive grin on my face. I've been waiting for this movie ever since I was 8 years old. "Bumblebee, Ironhide, transform!"

Glee! Just 4 days! Only four.

That's my little something nice to look forward to. What I'm working toward, a coping thing.

Hmm... and in my more honest and introspective moments, I've wondered and looked at those things that I do, that help me cope with other stresses in life. Chocolate is one of them. I am still eating more than I used to. Before I went to Italy. I do feel I should cut down. But I might not eat as much as most, but probably more than some. I've also noted that my time has become very very precious to me, which reminds me, I think my time I spend fuzzing about on the Internet is perhaps too much. I think I'm beginning to just live in this box. It's a good way to not spend cash though. As doing anything in London is darn right expensive.

I suppose things are all subject to change, and what may be too much at one point will become very little at another.

So not to worry.

I'm feeling tired tonight. I'd only slept about three hours two nights ago and I think the second day is the one that it really manifests itself upon.

If I were to ask the deeper part of me it would probably say "Today's a day, just like every other day, in meaning that it holds it's own challenges, worries, fears, successes, achievements and insights. Not one day will pass that can hold itself truly apart from another."

I suppose at any rate.

Nearly time for bed. YAWN...

I don't believe it!

Who watched "One foot in the grave"?

Loads of people this side of the pond. Guess who served himself off the show. Yep. Me.

I looked up and thought, I recognise that face, nah, can't be, then he walked on over put his basket down and sure enough. It was Richard Wilson.

I had to bite my lip not to say "I don't believe it!" I merely enquired as to how he were. To which he replied, "very well thank you."

Very friendly man. If I see him again in the shop I might well say "I don't believe it!"
He'd probably have a laugh, nothing like the response Father Ted got.

Anyway, back to life or rather, my horoscope. From Jonathan Cainer.

"Are you happy with what you can see? If so, keep looking, you will only find more to appreciate. If not, look even more closely. There is something you have so far failed to spot. Understandably enough, you are starting to have profound reactions to intense developments. You are beginning to feel uncomfortable about parts of the past. Yet this is all immensely positive - part of a process that can only lead to greater power, strength and success. You have made no mistake."

Pretty much spot on. Although I'm more the have to look harder sort in this one. So I will. Which means I'd better get on with a couple of things right now.

I don't believe it!
