When Mason Met Sleeplessness

So I'm watching When Harry Met Sally on t.v. because I haven't been able to fall asleep yet (1:52am and counting..) and quite frankly there's nothing else on at this hour. I actually quite like this movie, though. I'm not sure that it was Meg Ryan's first BIG role but I'm assuming it was at least one of her firsts if not the. She has, since this role, played the same character over and over again. Good job Meg, way to diversify your acting. God bless her for it, but seriously how many times can she make that pouting face or over dramatize a distraught moment while sniffling and bumbling her way through sentences that just make us want to SQUISH her down to pocket size and shove her into our coat for later use because she's just so damned lovable? The answer is: EVERY time, that's how many times. Either way, we love her- it sells. The funny thing is I have heard she's like some crazy party animal in real life. I like thinking of her as the sweet Tom Hanks sidekick that who, somehow, off camera becomes a raging alcoholic that loses her shit every time she gets a few gin and tonics in her system. In my mind I picture her maybe throwing a chair across a bar at a waitress who 'looked at her funny.' Probably has never happened though.

"I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you realize you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible"

That line just happened. Good line. Bravo, writers of When Harry Met Sally, bravo.

Also while I was laying here watching TV, not sleeping and drinking a glass of wine, I saw an advertisement on TV. It was something to do with clothing, not sure what brand. That's neither here nor there. The point is, when I saw this advertisement I thought to myself "HEY! Why don't *I* have good clothing style and a great sense of fashion like those people in the clothing ad?!" So I jumped up out of bed and did inventory of my entire closet. Chastising myself and my lack of taste all the while. I started trying on different clothing combinations and have successfully put together a pile of clothes to give away that consists of things I can't stand to ever look at again (suddenly). I own it, I'm crazy. I've also come up with several new "looks" though, so that's a plus. I'm still generally dissatisfied, but such is life. Such is MY life, I always seem to want something more. I'm the type of person who would throw away everything he owns every few months and start over again if he was able to do so. I'd pitch furniture, clothes, car, friends. Everything- throw it all out and start fresh. Just kidding on the car thing, I'd do that every year maybe, not every few months. Teasing again, it's the friends that I wouldn't throw out every few months, don't worry. Actually, I'm also a pack rat at times which I realize makes no sense considering the aforementioned. It's like Kimberly and I were discussing the other day; everyone has their contradictions. That's one of my many contradictions because on one hand I am the type that will dispose of something I've used only once yet hang onto a pair of pants (found this out tonight) that I've had for years JUST in case I might need red pants at some point. This occasion (hopefully) will never occur. Contradiction, y'all.

Work has been sort of busy, and that's a plus. I'd like to officially blame my blogging absence on that fact but in reality there's a bit of laziness that comes into play as well.

Either way, more to come sooner than later!
For now, me and my increased blood alcohol level shall retire to sleep. I'm not spell checking this, grammar proofing it or anything of the sort. You're welcome.
Until then,
