The One With The Deer

Now that I have a blog that is more conducive to writing than my previous blog was, I seem to be unable to write anything more than a few sentences worth of opinion. Yet here I am still trying. I guess I can start with a few things I am thinking about at the moment.

While I am writing this I am watching an episode of the X-Files. It's from season two, episode ...whatever. It's called Excelsis Dei, and it has an actress that also played the doctor (the first one) in Stargate SG-1. My observance of her acting capabilities is that she was slightly better in this episode. Usually actors get better over time but she is almost the same despite the roughly 8 year gap between shows. I can't say that it has anything to do with the writers because both shows had equally great as well as equally terrible episodes. Really great actors can take a script, no matter how bad, and make their character shine. She is definitely not one, but in fairness she is decent. She works great as a secondary character, even if on occasion she sounds like she's reading from the script. I'll have to wait for the credits to get her name.

I was also thinking about how I've been so busy that I don't have much time to do what I want, that is if I want to get enough sleep too. So I've been doing the stupid thing and not sleeping as much as I should. Although, after a few days of sleeping only 5 to 6 hours a night, I end up crashing for 10 or 12. When that happens, it sucks, because my day ends up being something like this: I get home from work, I go to bed, I wake up, I go to work with nothing else done in between. That's no way to live so I go back to depriving myself of sleep for the next few days. Hopefully, I won't be quite so busy in the next few months. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of being tired. -sigh- I would love to spend an entire month in England by myself with nothing but a notebook and my guitar (so I can play in parks for fivers). And I would love to revisit Whitby (the one on the North East side). I didn't spend enough time there. I wish I owned a camera last time. I think that is at least part of why I want to go back there.

The X-Files episode just ended but the extras credits didn't have a name I recognized. I wonder if the actress in question got married in that 8 year gap...

There was a deer in my front lawn today. I took a couple of photos but (again) didn't have time to try to get closer shots.
