The worst bit is when you are very very close to sleep, but there is something you need to do, like set the alarm, or turn off the light even, but you know that moving at all will wake you up again.

Yeah, I was just getting sleepy after finishing the book, when the battery in one of the smoke alarms started doing that bleep noise that they make when the battery is running out. I took the one out of the downstairs alarm but it turned out to be the one on the attic hatch, so I had to take the step ladder upstairs and take it out. Was wide awake after that. So I went back to bed around dawn.

This. So much anger boils inside me when someone tries to start talking to me from another room. Or when I'm brushing my teeth...do you honestly think I can hear and answer you?!

Or just as I'm about to eat! Nothing you have to say will be as delicious as this god damn sandwich, shut up until I've at least enjoyed my first bloody bite.

Or somebody robbing your chips,especially if you have asked them would they like some.

December2012

A former coworker today congratulated me on being pregnant.

I'm not pregnant.

And to rub salt into the jelly belly wounds I've actually lost weight and I've toned up - my arms and legs look great and I've dropped a dress size. My belly has toned somewhat but is the last place to see the effects of my fitness.

I agree with him, I was a big King fan years ago and loved his earlier stuff, Carrie, The Shining, The Shawshank etc, but then he started churning out books every two weeks stopped boozing and it all went to pot.

Fixed.

And I think the aul Columbian marching powder was a factor.

The funny thing is, I can't imagine anyone else playing that role better than Jack Nickolson, but when you read the book he seems like entirely the wrong fit for the role. Weird. Wasn't Wendy a blonde in the book too?, I seem to remember her being a brunette in the film.

I cant recall in the book, but defo brunette in the film.

It seems King was not impressed with the film, or the way Kubrick and Nicholson kept taking the piss out of the Wendy woman (cant remember her name)

Yey my parcel is in Athlone, no idea when it's going to arrive in Clare though. Thought the point of tracking is so that you know when the bloody thing will arrive. It didn't even update Friday nights info until lunchtime today.

Thanks. I had buried the memory of that piece of sh*t very, very deep in my subconcious. You've made me relive the worst part of my childhood :eek:
