You Know Not!

I did finish Insomnia a few days ago. It’s a good book, but not an earth shattering book. As is typical of Stephen King, there are a couple of lessons worth taking with you when you go. That’s one of the things I most enjoy about him; there’s always more to the story than just the story.

I’ve also started Hearts in Atlantis, but I am not far enough in yet to have much of a clue as to what the book is about. I guess that’s one of the other things I like about King. His books keep me guessing almost to the very end.

Finally, I must mention office desks. It’s not a savvy or cool mention, nor is it very pretty, but it’s done now, and we can move on. What about I promise not to make anymore posts on MTV for at least a month, and you forgive me?

Am I the last person in America to find out about with Wilmer Valderrama’s show on MTV, “Yo Momma” ? Recently MTV started an online part to the show –

it’s basically an enormous online bank of yo momma jokes and slams. Check it out at yomomma.tv and you can start battling other users around the world, or come check out their yomomma myspace page to meet other people that are just as interested in Yo Momma as you are.

Enjoy, but just don’t tell my mama that I’m giggling.

I haven’t been posting much over here, have I? I told you several times that I don’t care much for TV, and lately I’ve been doing more running around here and there in the evenings anyway, so my already small tv time has taken a real hit. I have been reading though, and Stephen King is not exactly known for giving his books diet pills. They are fat and juicy, just the way I like them! I think I am finally approaching the halfway point of Insomnia. A hundred pages or so ago, I realized that I read this book quite a while back, not too long after it was published. I can’t remember how it ended though, so I am reading it again. It’s slow going because by the time I can actually get my nose in a book, I’m sleepy. Except last night, after I closed Insomnia, I had to deal with a little of my own. That’s one vicious cycle I am hoping doesn’t start up again.

So, I told you my books had shipped, but I did not mention that they had arrived. Oops, I’m a slacker. I have been reading instead of talking about reading, LOL! I have to say, as a person who suffers from insomnia, I have both learned from and appreciated this book, and I am only 100ish pages in. I’ve learned that I am what is called a “slow-sleeper”, and i think King must be as well, because he perfectly describes what the world is like to one who isn’t sleeping, from the greyness of it to the inability to respond appropriately to it.

I’m enjoying the book, and I’ll be glad to get my work done today, so I can read more of it. I do have one question, though: Do you think it might be just a bit whacked that I am reading Insomnia in bed at night? Yeah, me too.
