Soul

"Have you got any soul?" a woman asks the next afternoon. That depends, I feel like saying; some days yes, some days no. A few days ago I was right out; now I've got loads, too much, more than I can handle. I wish I could spread it a bit more evenly, I want to tell her, get a better balance, but I can't seem to get it sorted. I can see she wouldn't be interested in my internal stock control problems though, so I simply point to where I keep the soul I have, right by the exit, just next to the blues.

Insomnia's getting worse. I've barely slept the past couple of days, so I've been coming into the office really early (at least for me). 10am is such an ungodly hour. It's a terrible feeling, being at the office with little sleep, having a headache all day, and feeling like you're going to come down with something at any moment. I left work early yesterday and I was in bed by 9pm, but my body wouldn't cooperate and I was up by midnight. I wasn't able to sleep again until it was about 8am, and I got another three hours of sleep.

Ack, I feel like shit right now.

At least last night, or more accurately, this morning, I started reading Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay (couldn't sleep, so might as well). I'm really liking it so far.

Speaking of good reads, as much as I like my friends equally (well, mostly so), I have to say that Alekos is my favorite read. He just cracks me up (read his post about his kidney ultrasound, "Great pair 'o kidneys you have there Mr. Orendain!", ha ha).

Then again, it's not fair, because he takes, like, 6 weeks on end to come up with each post. Jesus, I mean, if you can't come up with something funny to say in 6 weeks...

Which makes me wonder, maybe I should just blog monthly as well? At least my posts then would be angst-free, and maybe even actually funny.
