Sleep depravation

I fell asleep just after 8pm last night watching Blues Brothers 2000. ("In memory of Jim Belushi" it said in the beginning credits. Surely everyone deserves better than this piece of turd.) I then woke up at 1am and couldn't get back to sleep until 5am. During that time I read Sonnet 2 and Sonnet 3 by Shakespeare, made some pesto and ham sandwiches for my lunch for today and watched Hard Talk with Tim Sebastian on BBC1 at 4.30am. Sebastian was "Hard" talking to the Union leader Bill Morris. Sebastian's interview techinque is to ask a question, then contradict the answer in anyway possible. Like an old aggressive drunk at closing time, aching for a fight. "Are you looking at my bird?!" "ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?!" When discussing international trade unions and land reform in Zimbabwe, Morris said that white farmer owned 80% of the land, so some reform was necessary. Sebastian would leap in a say "So it's OK to kill white farmers and take their land?" When talking about Iraq, Morris supports the UN manifesto of world peace, "So what you're saying is Saddam should be allowed to threaten the world with his weapons of mass destruction?" I have no interest in trade unions or Bill Morris, but was so entertained by his provoking, aggressive and sometimes moronic questioning style, I was compelled to watch to the end, to see what other questions he had.

I slept well after that.
