Good night you allllllll...

i'm totally exhausted tired and have been on the verge of falling asleep all day, but then i just tossed and turned for an hour and my brain is being a fuck. stars of the lid didn't help.

one of these days i'm going to find a recording of a slow heartbeat and just put it on repeat when i go to bed. could work. there's a cluster song that i'm too lazy to look up that i might be able to loop the intro of. could work.

good night hopefully

oh you people and your fancy sleep

one day i will be one of you

lingbert i do this thing where i breathe super slow and deep and concentrate on each breath and that usually bores me to sleep.

enya is also good for sleepy time.

No it is not.

:D

i heard in yoga class once that if you lie with your legs in the air it will help you sleep. i mean, not in an exercise way, you just slide your butt to the edge of the bed and rest your legs up against the wall and let everything decompress.

my ex used to hold his arm up in the air because he said it would the effort would tire him out enough to sleep.

xpost wilter you obviously have not really listened to enya

she is my secret shame :/

You are not alone:

by Ned Raggett

Ned's been lovingly clowned about this on another thread, right? I'm not trying to get all personal on an internet dude here.

hey JOHN JUSTEN WE HAVE SIX BOOKS IN COMMON according to librarything:

Books you share (6)

See in library

1984 by George Orwell

The Corrections: A Novel by Jonathan Franzen

The Crying Of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

Libra by Don DeLillo

Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger

Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson

except i don't have 'nine stories' so i don't know where librarything got that information. i do have 'franny and zooey' and 'seymour: an introductions' and 'raise high the roofbeam carpenters' and 'to esme, with love and squalor'.

that is an excellent review by ned

i also share 6 books with neddy-noodles:

Books you share (6)

See in library

Burning Chrome by William Gibson

The Crying of Lot 49 (Perennial Fiction Library) by Thomas Pynchon

His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

To Kill a Mockingbird (The Folio Society Slipcased Edition) by Harper Lee

I want to read Pynchon. Where i start?

I meant to buy some of his books a few months ago but forgot about it.

i've only read 'lot 49' so not sure about the rest of his stuff. it's a weird but interesting book. i had to read and reread it quite a bit (i read it for a class on literature in the digital age).

LOL all ILXors have copies of Snow Crash.

GO SEE IRON MAN WHY BECAUSE IT IS AWSOME

OKAY I WILL DO ALL THAT FILM WATCHING WHEN THE SUN STOPS SHINING

also I would like to nominate this kid as ITR hero: 13 Year Old Steals Dads Credit Card To Buy Hookers

gravity's rainbow is surely th' only place to start, unless you are not sure you are for long and difficult books -- in which case you might try 49, though it is relatively minor as canon-fodder save for its relevence in high school english classes.

'against the day' is one of the more readable pynchons, though it is sooo long it might offput the staunchest of diahrreaders.

I don't have a copy of Snow Crash and have never read it and have not ready ANY Pynchon and also do not use librarything ;_;

Snow Crash and librarything are both great yay.

I stand by it!

Dude, Tanith Lee????

What?

I mean I'll grant she's a classic case of her books rewriting the same idea eight million ways but her short story collection Dreams of Dark and Light's pretty sharp.

Okay I can get behind her in short story form. Her novels are like sub-Mercedes Lackey nonsense.

Hahah, ouch. But yeah, way hit and miss on that front.

I have never read these, either.

I can claim to have listened to enya, however.

Plz send good vibes to me tonight at 6 pm central time, as I will take my renal/endocrine test at that point. I'm at a total loss as to whether I'm prepared or not. I just want to get it over with at this point.

If I can remember to send good vibes in advance of GOING TO SEE THE CURE LIVE, I certainly will!

Thanks!

And I hope you know that if you send me the good vibes, I will not hate you for all eternity for seeing The Cure tonight while I take a freaking TEST.

I suppose quitting school and running away from home to become a homeless person wouldn't help me see The Cure, either.

I'M TRAPPED ;_;

Ned I adore your Enya love. Watermark is golden and fuck the h8rz.

thank you abbott! i also have shepherd's moon but it's not as good.
