The insomnia is starting to get back to me. I don't much complain about it like other people do though. Then again, I don't suffer the most extremes of it again. I don't stay up three days in a row for example, and I know some people that can't help but do so. That's gotta suck. Instead, I just lose the motivation to go to sleep and stay up reading or writing or listening to music. With a healthy mix of Cartoon Network of course.

Oh, speaking of, has anyone else taken the initiative and checked out Adventure Time? Given the fact that it was originally made for a 12 year audience, I can see why many people wouldn't be inclined to give it the time of day. But it's a truly great cartoon. It's hilarious, thought provoking, and just downright bad-ass. I love the attitude of the characters and their reactions to their unusual stimuli. It's got adult humor. Kind of like our generation of Ren and Stimpy, but not nearly as dirty. Just clever.

That said, I recently saw that one of the episodes of Adventure Time was Emmy-nominated. So I'm not the only one that thinks this fucking awesome cartoon show should be critically acclaimed! My girlfriend likes it a lot, and so do her younger nieces and nephew, so it really reaches across the age borders. I just gotta get some adults on it, and it'll be all gravy.

There's this song called Tree of Life by Debaser that I'm just in love with. I've listened to it something like five times a day for at least the past three or so days. That's a pretty good record for me, especially considering that I like to keep the music moving, always taking in new stuff and making sure that the new generation is on point with their music making skills. If the song doesn't get you bumping, then your neck is broken. Put plain and simply.

I was watching Catch Me If You Can the other day with Cynthia. The movie was a lot better than I remember it to be, and really well thought out. I mean, I always enjoyed it but just gained a new appreciation for it. I didn't realize how long DiCaprio's character was when he get caught. Totally forgot the fact that he pleaded to get tried as a minor. That means he did all of that in just one or two years lol. What a crazy life to have.

I'm almost done reading my Lovecraft collection of short stories as well. When I first started reading the collection, I didn't find much of Lovecraft's writing impressive and neither did I find his plots particularly captivating. It took me a while to realize, though, that this is mostly because the surplus of horror that our technological age has allowed me to access kind of ruined the suspense. Every time that someone is biting someone else I automatically think zombie, so when that's kind of the big surprise, it doesn't do much for me.

But as I got deeper and deeper into the stories, I could see what draws so many people to him. He's a master of suspense. He's also an amazing writer, capable of giving particularly vivid descriptions without losing you in purple writing. I like it a lot. Cthulu's a champ.
