Let Me Sleep

[f4f3]

Another night of tossing and turning. I can't blame eating late, or eating too much this time, so it must be Heroes Season Two that's doing it. I have to admit that I'm really enjoying this. It's the closest thing to a real comic book style of story-telling I've seen on the box (closer, that is, to say Claremont's X-Men or Grant Morrison on JLA. It even walks the same turf as Watchmen, although with less depth). I even cut back on that, though, only watching two episodes and being in bed for 11.30. Bah and humbug - will try to be in bed even earlier tonight, despite having a visitor.

I did managed to fall out of bed and into the gym this morning, but I'm definitely not in the groove yet. I didn't get there until 7.30, which should be enough time for 30 minutes exercise and then a quick shower, out by 8.15 and in the office by 8.30. I spent 10 minutes faffing around looking for my headphones though (hopefully I left them at home, and not in the locker room last night) and when I couldn't find them I had to subject myself to watching some species of MTV while I worked out.

Is it just me, or does Madonna look scary? Scarier? Even Kylie is trying to adopt a Hayworth/Harlowe look, but Madge is still peddling herself as the dancer/sex kitten she was in 1980. Her body is obviously a thing of wonder, but set out in leotard and fishnets it's hardly a thing to kindle desire. Maybe I'm out of step here, but really, dear, put it away would be my advice.

I also sweated my way through a fairly amusing video of a pretty boy with a guitar serenading his love, with the twist being that dozens of other guitarists wander in and join him. It's a nice conceit, but a little bit spoiled by the number not being exactly swamped in guitar sound.

The other videos were mostly hip-hoppers bragging about their money/rides/girls, which leave me cold.

my sympathies on the poor nights sleep. I've given up alcohol, coffee, tea, chocolate and anything exciting after 4 pm and hot milk, warm baths and earplugs - all in the search for a good nights sleep but to no avail...

I go out like a light :P

Madonna's looking...good but stringy? She's going to have to put it away sometime.

I actually think it's the hair that's a problem. Those waves look like wrinkles; next to her face it's like she's gradually morphing into The Scream.

Yeah with you on Madonna, it isn't just you. It's definitely the whole leotard thing. When she puts on trousers or a skirt she looks great but for some reason she is determined we have to see everything she has worked/paid good money for. This is a case where less is not more Madge. (Kylie has her gay best friend, stylist chap who clearly leads her right. Madonna needs to find one of those maybe)

My drowsy anti-histamines knock me out beautifully. If I don't take them I just don't sleep which is a bit scary.

Didn't Madonna fire her gay brother adviser person? I'm pretty sure he wrote a retaliatory autobiography book as revenge....
