Consciousness: that annoying time between naps

I’ve been off work the last couple of days with a strange ear infectiony type thingy (get me with all my medical terms!) and I’ve not done much other than sleep and bump into things. I’ve slept an awful lot, I’m not sure if it was the drugs, the need to sleep or just something to do – either way I can tell you that I really enjoyed it. I’m envious of people who can sleep at the right time, I can never seem to be able to sleep when I need to yet I could quite happily sleep at midday.

One thing I have done while I’ve been off is watch an American TV series called Hereos – about a load of unassociated people who posses strange super-powers but dont really know what to do with them. One of them is an artist and paints the future, he paints a big picture of New York exploding and he and some others think they should do somethin about it. It’s a bit ‘Lost’ in some parts but very good and yet again where current US TV is concered – no expense is spared with CGI and other effects.

I’m sure I’ve said this before but there is some damn good telly coming out of the US just recently, Lost, Prison Break, 24, Jericho, Hereos and of course the Sopranos to name but a few -and we’ve got Ant & Dicks Poker Face and Dancing on Ice – what a crock of shit.

The problem with sleeping all day is that you cant sleep at night, my hearing is still a bit funny so every noise I hear sounds like a jumbo jet going over – I can hear the tank of the toilet filling up and it sounds like someones driving a tank through the bathroom,, a dog is barking outside and it sounds like a giant ware-hound-dog thingy.
