dozing

do any of you really care to read about my sleeping habits again? probably not. am i going to blog about it anyway? you betcha. yesterday while i was at work, phong was telling me about some muscle relaxer he took the night before. apparently it knocks you on your ass. of course i was like, "hmm...fun with pills that help you sleep..." so he brought me one to take last night.

lemme just say, we were sitting there watching medium (i have to have my patty arquette fix, even though she's so deadpan that's she's practically a corpse with a puppeteer's hand up her ass, making her eyes blink and her mouth move) and i literally couldn't keep my eyes open starting at 10:30. now, this shouldn't exactly be surprising since i popped the muscle relaxer at around 8:30. but to someone who hasn't been sleeping, it felt delicious.

i somehow willed myself to stay awake until the show ended (either i was in a drug haze or it was a kind of pointless episode) and then stumbled to my bed, where i immediately went to sleep and--get ready for this--actually slept til nearly 7am. and when i woke up it wasn't because i thought that there were strangers in my house, it was because i had to pee. and then i went right back to sleep until 7:30. which, of course, meant that i missed my shuttle this morning.

but who cares? i slept. oh, and speaking of the shuttle this morning:

you know last week when there was a lady eating a mcdonald's ice cream? well today she was back but instead of ice cream she was chomping on a cup of ice. i don't know what it is with a lot of baltimore's inner-city population, but they loves their cups of iceses. not content to merely chomp on ice, she had her wad of blue bubble gum precariously perched on the side of the styrofoam cup. and she was obviously, clearly on drugs. my best guess is heroin because she wasn't hyper-active enough for it to be crack. and she kept like dozing off and slurring her speech--and lemme tell you, she's a talkative one.

mind you, this isn't a city bus. it's the hopkins shuttle. i just keep wondering where this lady's going. my guess is to cure cancer.
