Worked late, ate late then only got three hours sleep. Guess it's the excitment of my new job and the fact that my ex is flying in to see me today. So I thought a movie would help...it usually does. I find that movies and golf are two of the best brain showers available. In golf you have to focus so hard on that little white ball there's no room for anything else in your head. With movies it's the escapism thing.
My choioce of escapism tonight ( or rather very early this morning) has been Laurence Olivier's film verson of Chekov's "The Sisters". With my upcoming trip to Moscow I though it appropriate to watch something Russian. As with literature, spoken Russia for the stage or movies Russian doesn't always translate that well into English. So rather than sitting back and escaping into the world of middle class Russian yesterday I found myself trying to imagine how this line and that would have sounded in Russian. But it did the job because I was fast asleep within thirty minutes. Unfortunately I woke up by the final scenes and here I am turning to my other life support SG. What do you guys use to relax when you're having a sleepless night?
By the way, ignore the Spet 23 evening dateline at the top..Here it's the 24th and 0453 in the morning.
