I'm feeling near to 50% better than yesterday, and that's on no drugs today other than advil for a headache. Hallelujah. If I had to be sickly as long as feiran or the guy who gave me the drugs yesterday were, I'd have called in sick today. I had an elevated temperature last night, not severe enough to worry about, but enough to give me chills. I slept really well, all things considered, which is no doubt why I am so refreshed today.

And I'm back to being able to concentrate on what I read, which is why this comment from Pandagon nearly made me hack up my lung when laughter turned into spasmodic coughing:

As Scripture says, “To whom much is given, much is required.”

"What scripture is that? The Gospel According to Spiderman? Maybe I’m looking in the wrong translations, but I can’t find that in the online Bibles at the BibleGateway."

Heeh. Gospel according to Spidey. Probably a lot friendlier than the actual gospel. Thou shalt make snarky comments when delivering final blows to thy opponents. Thou shalt deal with thy angst in as public a setting as possible. Thou shalt give J. Jonah Jameson a coronary when thou revealest thy secret identity to the world.

Heee!

Tonight is Superman Returns, which I'm quite looking forward to. It helps to have been saturated with the Big Guy of late. I watched the episode "Knight Time" of the Superman Animated Series last night, and that will never get old. If you haven't seen it, let me know, I'll get the DVD into your hands. It's the episode that proves why a Batman v Superman real-person movie just wouldn't ever work: they don't belong in each other's cities, and no neutral third city would have the emotional appeal. That's not to say that World's Finest wasn't fun (Cheeky Monkey Batman! SO MUCH LOVE!), just that I think the darker tone of cinema Batman and the more artsy/campy/cutesy Superman just wouldn't ever mesh.

And "Knight Time"....gah. Superman having to deal with Batman's rogue gallery of villains? Priceless. Makes the last-act appearance by a Superman villain completely ridiculous. Batman has better villains. You know why? Because Batman is better than Superman.

There! I said it! Again!

You can always do the recommended things to work insomnia down to manageable levels. Don't do much in your bedroom aside from sleep, thus setting yourself up psychologically for "going into bedroom = sleep." I think that's mostly horseshit, and not everyone can accomodate it, but I haven't been doing much in my room (mostly because it's a mess and I have the option of using the living room and the internet isn't installed yet anyway) of late. I will let you know if that works.

Another thing is to set up other bedtime habits--reading, a glass of water/ milk etc--so your body associates those with "time to sleep." But yeah, what can you do if your biorhythms don't cooperate? It's not like you can force yourself to sleep in anyway that will leave you able to function the next day (or to get healthy sleep).
