Melatonin is magical to an insomniac like me. Busy brain + lots of stress = sleep defiance! Some time ago a friend recommended the melatonin as a remedy. I finally bucked up and bought myself a bottle. Last night I took some around 9:30pm. By 10:30pm I was out cold, and slept soundly without waking until 5am. Then I fell back to sleep until 7am (whoops, neglected to set the alarm clock). But during that two hour window I had some startlingly vivid dreams. Not sure if that’s a typical side effect of melatonin intake. But it is something I can live with, in exchange for some solid sleep. Because my sleep-deprived waking life has become downright dysfunctional.
Speaking of dreams and dreaming and dreaminess, flickr has launched a fantastic new feature. Flickr Galleries, “unleashing your inner curator.” I’ve been receiving lovely little notices when other flickr users add my photos to their galleries. Now I just need to poke through my oodles of favorites, pick a theme and get curating!
And now a mish-mash of five things from strange to awful to awesome:
- Domokun Mystery boxes. My son truly wants to collect them ALL.
- Arsonists destroy St. Paul school’s hard-won playground equipment. Why? Ugh.
- Weird and wonderful patents, a wearable pet display cage. Wtf?
- President Barack Obama Becomes A Jedi Master - that man needs an LED Umbrella (#7).
- Smitten Kitchen’s roasted carrot and avocado salad can become a reality for me, as yesterday’s CSA delivery included some gorgeous purple dragon carrots.
- Marvel at pictures that look like this. Dreamy.
Not so dreamy? I’ve added a few more outtakes to Clockwork’s headshot set. Including some silly photos of myself. Eep.
