Post Elsewhere Depression

ALRIGHT time to blog. It's been weird. I haven't really felt that compelled to blog this week. I think it might have something to do with my tiredness. I have been feeling really bad for the people around me recently because I have just been tired. Mom always reminds me about how I was always a super cranky little toddler when I didn't have my nappy. Some things never change I guess. So forgive me anyone if I've been a bit of a biotch this past week.

It's a real shame that sleep isn't working itself into my summah oh nine schedule. In fact, I would love to say the statement "sleep '09" but it would just be misleading. That's pretty much the problemo with having to be at work at 7 and staying there til 1. I get a full afternoon of play, full nighttime with friends, full timesheet every other Wednesday but a quite not full night of sleep.

BUT This week has been pretty great. Cough cough.

I just started reading Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring today. I'm only on the prologue because I felt like coming down and blogging but I'm really liking it so far. Back in sixth grade I decided to read it for one of Mrs. Swalec's free reading assignments in the beginning of the year. Big mistake. It took me so long I had to break up the book and do all my free reading assignments on the Fellowship alone. Yeah it was a little dense for my sixth grade self. LUCKILY I'm armed with recently acquired eleventh grade knowledge and I'm going in for it FO REEZ.

Meeting someone like J.R.R Tolkien would be such an interesting experience. It seems like, even jsut from the prologue, that he completely surrounded himself with not only the tale of Frodo destroying dat fresh ring o' powah but with all of Middle Earth. I would love to ask him how he felt about the realosphere we live in. People always say "Writers can just create a world ot their own in their writing" but I'm pretty sure everyone pales in comparison to this dude. Jeff mentioned yesterday evening that after reading the Harry Potter books he would get "Post Harry Potter depression" because he would have to come back into this world and deal with the stuff writers tried to escape in their writing. WHOA MULTIPLE WORLDS.

Eye Dee Kay.

I've been listening to Whincing the Night Away recently after Emily put it on in the car and I'm really very impressed. David has always loved that album and it's been around but I think I've been subconciously scoffing it to myself as hipster indie trash so I don't look too much like a hipster... even though I really like Chutes Too Narrow... and I'm blogging right now. ?? Whatever. But yeah it's pretty good.
