I need a "fuck-it bucket" for srs

Honeybunch is watching Saw III, and it is turning my stomach (even though my back is to the screen).

I am trying to finish up Chuck Palahniuk's Haunted and having a hard time, as I can't read it while eating/thinking about eating (and without spoiling the book for you, there is quite theeating theme).  The last fifteen pages or so have dragged, though I really want to know how it turns out.

Not sure why this is - I have never had any trouble with gore before.  Actually, I pretty much love realistic violence and gore, being of the MTV generation.

Meh.  Still looking forward to Hannibal Rising.  What a romantic Valentine's Day date movie, eh?!

Done with another clean-up day at the Temple.  Will be calling the advisor for DeMolay to have the boys clean up the unholy mess they left in the bathroom. (note to self:  no painting for those kids, ever again.) 

I had 2.5 hours of sleep last night.  Considering how much sleep I've forced myself to get this week, I thought I'd be able to push through.  Not so!  I nearly collapsed in Home Depot this afternoon - literally so weak from exhaustion and not eating that I had to physically fight the urge to sit down, throw up, and pass out.  Having to brave Meijer a) on Saturday b) at the beginning of the month c) the day before Super Bowl did pump me up with adrenaline, however.

Sushi has fortifying powers, as does 4 hours of sleep.  Feeling much better now, ready to face the prospect of living another day.

I've been craving chicken wings for some reason.  Please to be stopping this, insula!  Do not want!

Hope you all are having a good weekend and enjoy the Super Bowl, if you care.

Haunted looks *really* interesting. I'll probably add the author and a couple of his older books to my wishlist - Aside from Fight Club, any recs as to which ones?

There's a link to Only Revolutions by Mark Danielewski on Palahniuk's fan site. I've been trying to get my hands on a copy of House of Leaves for a while. Have you read that yet?

We are going to Pan's Labyrinth for Valentine's Day. Sushi is on the menu for dinner. Fortifying. :)

I'm glad that (accidental) research has been turning up physical reasons for addictions and problems that we have as humans. Part of it is leaving me with a vague discomfort ala Harrison Bergeron. Often, our darkest moments, our quirks, our addictions, and our "abnormalities" are what makes us interesting individuals. It seems that lately we are being stripped of all that makes us unique in an effort to protect us from death and to make us safe.

There's something not quite right about that. Life isn't safe and it always ends in death.

I suppose it is okay as long as we still have a choice in the matter as individuals. Unfortunately, there has always been a great deal of pressure to conform and I suspect there always will be.

Have a good Super Bowl day! I'm spending the day here and reading David Kuo's book. :)
