my insomnia has eased and i am sleeping again. The NYTimes has been running a fantastic series on insomnia. Sometimes you feel like the only person in the world who can’t sleep. I love this quote in particular: Because insomnia is triggered, at least in part, by anxiety about insomnia, the worst thing we can do is think about not being able to sleep.

I went to a new doctor today and it was one of the strangest experiences i have ever had. What was supposed to be a routing checkup and prescription renewal for Ambien turned into a 2 hour lecture on how men are leaders and women partners and how i should pray before bed and read the Bible. He also put me in some sort of Medieval-looking contraption to check my posture and it turns out I have mild scoliosis and one shoulder is higher than the other. I probably should have gotten up and left near the beginning but i was so shocked and fascinated as to where he was going I stayed and listened. I eventually got my prescription. I will not see him again, though.

Here is a link to a great story called “So You Call Yourself a Designer?”

dark days

What a rough few nights i’ve had. My insomnia is back in a big way. Time to get that ambien refilled. I fell asleep in Documentary class yesterday morning very embarrassing. The worst part is not having the energy to do the things I want to like hit the MoMA or Noguchi museums like I had hoped. Hopefully it will pass soon, it usually does after a few days. I’m very excited about going to the tennis exhibition at The Garden tomorrow. Serena and Kim Clijsters will be there. I’m reading some poems for my Gotham class and am thinking that I should be putting some of my thoughts down to paper while I’m in this dark place. I used to love writing poetry.

Here’s a great color theory web page i grabbed off of Twitter:
