Not sleeping again

Yesterday I went to bed almost pitifully early, but at 12.45 I was woken to the sound of a two chord vamp with a major scale bassline. Not only was this disturbing my sleep, but to my disgust, a guitarist was improvising over the top using a phrygian or blues scale! I could have wept! The two chord thing gave way to some other half-arsed pop-rock crap and then something by the Doors. By which time it was nigh on 3am.

At 6am this morning, I felt a strange compulsion to watch 'The Big Lebowski'. So I did. I was surprised to discover my subwoofer was turned up quite loud. As I don't really enjoy loud bass sounds at 6am, I left the room and had a bath, and came back to the film at about 7am, picking it up where I had been watching it the previous evening before I went to bed. I'm expecting a restful night's sleep tonight.

This evening I'm visiting friends, tomorrow I'm eating Sri Lankan food, Friday is the usual work drinks, Saturday is a jazz rehearsal followed by a party, sunday will involve kiting activities, and on Monday I'm off to see this being recorded. I envisage having lots of restful undisturbed sleep to help me cope with a gruelling schedule. If I don't, I might have to buy some Schwarzenegger films.
