12 hours of sleep
...and I feel a bit better.
I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yaaresse hit the nail on the head that this is emotional exhaustion; perhaps the best thing that can be said of all the weirdness (that began in '08) is to quote the Grateful Dead what a long, strange trip it's been. I appreciate all the support; nokomisjeff is correct that I've shed a toxic person and this is a *good* thing.
Readingbrian1789's recent entries inspired to me to share to get support. I had no idea just how much support I received and it had a very positive impact on me.
In other news, I have begun watching recent movies (i.e. post 2006) - finally caught "There Will Be Blood" which I adored. Looking forward to seeing it again, this time without commercial interruption.
Other reviews:
- If you haven't heard of Lana Del Ray, you may be living under a rock. She's actually an artist named Lizzie Grant who has been repackaged by her management to help sales. Don't let that stop you from listening to her. She's fabulous.
- I read non-fiction almost exclusively and most of my reading lately has been centered around chaplaincy and materials science. Not much general fare. If you enjoy Buddhist writing, I highly recommend the accessible, "Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung? Inspiring Stories for Welcoming Life's Difficulties" by Ajahn Brahm. The subtitle is a misnomer. There are 108 stories that share Buddhist themes, many of them Brahm's personal experience, and an equal number laugh out loud funny.
- Do catch Brian Greene's latest NOVA work "Fabric of the Cosmos" - you can watch episodes on PBS.org and the Quantum Mechanics episode was outstanding.
