"6am now you're in hollywood"

so, it's not exactly 6am, but it's pretty close.

6:17am!!!!! we haven't been up like this together for a long time.

i've been watching entourage and taking a series of one-minute power naps. they work! every other minute, you sleep for a minute. so, in ten minutes, you've slept five! but, it's barely sleeping because it's only a minute. but it works. and i think i have second wind right now.

Courtney will be in at 8. man, i'll be happy to see her.

ok. i thought i had a second wind. but now i can barely move again.

the subject of the entry is a quote from a Julian Casablancas song.

ok. i just took a long break.

7:08am! almost there.

i really don't think i have anything else to say. crazy, right?

i'm excited to see Ruby.

man. i'm tired. i'll set my alarm for staff meeting. but, i'm not promising anything. if i go to sleep at 8:30am and sleep until noontime. that's 3.5 hours of sleep. that's not very much.

then i'd be awake until at least 4pm. and then i could go back to sleep again.

man it makes me sad to think about how interrupted my sleeping normally is. it's no wonder that whenever i'm home i'm so amazed at how well i sleep. there's no doors slamming. no chance of the house alarm going off. no phone calls.

7:15am.

eyes are getting heavy again. it's light out! that's a good sign. never have i been so happy to see daylight.

eh, that's not true. there have been plenty of nights where the daylight meant i could finally go to sleep. like when i worked in the Airport Lounge. or when i was up at night with the new baby.

it was crazy what happened to Bill in True Blood when he went out in the daytime. man, no wonder vampires sleep underground. that's sometimes how i feel too when i walk in the sun. but i'm glad i can sleep in my flannel sheets and i don't have to sleep in a coffin.

i'm hungry. i wish kerianne were here so we could go get breakfast!

man. i just did like, a super shift in the APL. 11pm to 8am. well, i shouldn't speak too soon. it's still only 7:21.

ok. i'm out. i'll talk to you all later. today? possibly. i have no idea what day it is right now. it feels like monday because i haven't slept. but i suppose technically it's tuesday.

my leg hurts. i can't wait to get off this couch. and into my BED BED BED!!!!! i think i speak for Ruby and myself when i say that i have the best bed in the whole world. although, i'm sure that's a point that most people would argue.

uh oh. i just hardcore sneezed like 5 times in a row. i hope i'm not getting one of my famous, "haven't slept all night colds." i freaking hate those.

7:26am.

this is like, up to the minute live blogging. but it's not really live because when you read it, it will be past all of these times.

7:37am!!! i just took some time to update facebook. slash check to see who's up. and also twitter. there were four new tweets:

1. two from my dad
2. one from aliya
3. one from julian casablancas

i just had to go downstairs. MAN. you don't realize how tired you are until you have to walk up a steep flight of stairs. now i'm ready to crash.

7:41!! Courtney's almost here. !!!

i need to brush my teeth very badly. and also take a shower.

hey!! guess what's in less than two weeks!!?!?!?!!?? THE GOLDEN GLOBES. i haven't decided how i'm celebrating yet. probably right here - in this very lounge. aw man.

awww i can here Ruby running around!!! she's awake!!! she knows i'm coming home soon!!! and she's ready for breakfast, i bet. she's always ready for her next meal. i miss her so much!!!

did i do a blog update about Tony? or was that a one-minute power nap dream? i can't totally remember. i think i was in love with Tony last night. i might have been blogging in between the one-minute power naps. hold on, i'll check.

wow. i did blog about Tony. and also being up at 4am. but, when i was reading the entry, i couldn't really remember writing it. it made pretty good sense. i mean, as much sense as these entries make.

i feel like the brightness of my screen keeps changing. maybe my eyes are going crazy.

i would say my current state is half vampire, half zombie.

OK. i just invented TWO new words.

1. zompire
2. vambie

half zombie, half vampire. i kind of like zompire better. but vambie sounds more sexy. i don't feel sexy right now, so i guess i'm a zompire.

i just twittered this information, and if you're reading from my blog, you will find it to your left.

7:55am!!!!

this house does make a lot of strange noises in the middle of the night. maybe Roger was up with me. i don't know. but there were multiple times during the middle of the night where i looked behind myself because i thought someone (or something...) was there. i'm serious. but don't tell the residents because that will freak them out.

well. 7:58am. i guess i should start packing up my stuff. my one-person sleepover is done. i'm very excited to sleep now. although, i know this will screw up my "sleep schedule" for a while.

remember there was that time in the spring of my 3rd year of college where i couldn't go to sleep before like, 5 or 6am? that was weird. i can still remember how weird that was. and it was soooo hott. and muggy. MUGGY. it wasn't hott, it was MUGGY which is worse. that was a strange time in my life.

AAAAHHHHHHH 8AM ON THE DOT!!!!!!! on the nose. wow. at times it seemed like it would never come. but here it is. and now i don't know what to do with it.

i guess i'll go downstairs and see Courtney!

thank you for staying up with me all night. even though you probably were asleep all night and are reading this during the day when i'm asleep. but it was nice having someone to talk to at all hours again. i'm always glad we have this time together.

AND NOW. i will say goodnight. one thousand times goodnight. to you, to yours, to tony, to this house, to roger - to everyone.

sleep tight. have wonderful days. wonderful ruby tuesdays.


love.love.
