Fighting off sleep...

I spent a restless night last night tossing, turning and getting up to screw around. It's a habit I've had for a long time, to fight going to sleep. I do it almost unconciously, and I don't know why. I think it's a bit worse today/this week with Helen gone. She gives me a good reason to get into bed. ;-)

So I'm at work this morning and have a headache from being overly tired. I'm keeping active and that seems to help with it.

I found the NPR podcast for CarTalk. It's a couple of guys who talk about evrything under the sun and sometimes even cars. It's a great show, it comes on Saturday mornings on your local public radio station.

While listening to the "All Things Considered" portion of NPR while driving home yesterday, the news guy said, "And now over to Michelle Norris." and at that moment my speakers (which are failing) cut out from the front of the car and started up in the back where Michelle Norris said, "Welcome to NPR, National Public Radio." It make me freak a little b/c it sounded like I now was driving around with Michelle Norris in my backseat... since she obviously had super ninja powers to do that, I imagined that the entire NPR news team was trying to kill me by attacking me from behind while I was driving down the road. I figured that if they did there probably wouldn't be much I could do against. So If you're ever attacked by NPR ninja's lead by super-ninja Michelle Norris, you're screwed.
