Just To Share



I love Alfred Molina. In some roles more than others, such as Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 and Horvath in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Used to watch Spider-Man 2 all the time, especially the bloopers and easter eggs (hidden behind-the-scenes bits). During that time I learned he was doing the Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof. Really wish I could have seen it. Anywho, I found some pics of him as Tevye.

Also, I found the short hidden scene where "after an intense day of filming green-screen footage, Alfred Molina takes a moment in between takes to lighten the mood." It's great how the people controlling the additional appendages keep the beat, too.

Better... Kinda

Had a rough past couple days. Today seems better. I know it won't last, but at least it's a break from the sleeplessness, anxiety, and being on the verge of falling apart.

Something that probably helps is hopefully being closer to having answers to a health issue I've been having. Had an appointment yesterday (of course the issue subsides the day of the appointment and I show no signs of being defective) and now waiting on the results, along with an additional appointment next week.

Yesterday was so bad... It honestly took everything I had to pick myself up (twice) and go to work. And half an hour into my shift I was beginning to fall apart, which thankfully got interrupted by a work-related errand. (Weird, I know... being paged helped? Crazy. Guess the distraction you need sometimes comes from the unexpected.)

"Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope."

Sometimes I wonder how I'm still alive.

Awake

So maybe changing my ringtone to the quite loud, quite forceful "WHOOOOAAAA" from the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" song isn't such a good idea. If someone calls while you're dozing, you're more than likely jolted awake with a unintentionally similar shout.

It's after 6am. My sleeplessness and restlessness has been getting the better of me lately.

Something truly crappy: returning to work after 5 days off and feeling like you haven't even left. No feeling refreshed, recharged, nothing. Just the same old "go do this and fall behind on your schedule" as soon as the shift starts.

As far as writing goes... I've considered another approach. Putting myself into a character completely different. Like creating stories or adventures for a fantasy character I play in a game. Only thing is, I doubt I know enough about her race or her world to write accurately. May try anyway.
