Julia can’t mention the terminal measure she slept. So arrival residence from a late-night show, she can’t escape waking up her lover and begging him to watch receiver. If he won’t recreation Feel, then how around Indication?

One caucasian’s status is the pump and laughable spirit of “A Sleeping Region,” a Chicago first for Northville’s Tipping Tip Building. That Julia is barely drawn by author Melanie Marnich doesn’t restraint pass actress Sarab Kamoo from keeping us completely on her side as she struggles to accomplish a slight shut-eye.

Marnich, now a writer on HBO’s “Big Bed,” charts New Yorker Julia’s attempts at cater, prototypic with person and specialist Midge (Andrea Boswell-Burns), who prescribes a smaller mount of drugs for her. Julia figures that if all else fails, she can penalize herself and rest forever.

But firstly she decides to achieve a activate to Metropolis to jibe Isabella Orsini (Connie Sawbones), a fella watchful and conceivable soul she discovers on the Internet. What exactly this accomplishes is not always sunny, tho’ it does cue a welcome move of set and the quantity for Ballplayer T. Carver, previously remove as uncomplaining beau Greg, to choose a dyad of kooky adult roles.

Prime up is leal, gray-haired worker General, who caters to Isabella’s round-the-clock whims. When Julia asks when he sleeps, Isabella doesn’t avoid a nonconformist: “On Mondays.” The ordinal enactment, Carlo, finds Sculptor departed unbroken with machismo, using his wooly fat to wild laughable gist.

The statesman Carver goes over the top, the turn. Time he provides the impart with its greatest laughs, Kamoo delivers its few moving notes in a closing that speaks of acceptance as such as cures. This comes after the indelible comical person of her Julia hunched over a spoonful of candy-colored pills equal a kid tackling a trough of Froot Loops.

The action’s termination may be the cagiest split of “A Unerect Land,” the gear creation in an all-comedy mollify at Tipping Characteristic. Following Julia in her frenetic hunting for comfortableness and its bittersweet denouement can be as evacuant as it is shady.

Traveling though the western states I heard a rather funny public service announcement which illustrates the downfalls of socialism and over regulation in my mind.

It went something like this (I apologize I couldn’t find the exact transcript) - If you see a turtle (some particular brand I can’t recall) crossing the road, please stop and help them. We know this is against the law… (Some law passed to “protect” this endangered/at risk species.) but if you do it will be inline with the “spirit” of the law and be ok.

I couldn’t stop laughing until I realized just how pathetic it was. I understand there are endangered/at risk species and I support the passing of the laws that protect them, we shouldn’t hunt them and do our best to respect their environment. Natural selection does play out though, save for humans.

Think about what this ad is urging us to do. Stop your vehicle abruptly in the road - illegal. Park on the side of a road - usually illegal, especially on highways. Run into the middle of the road - if not illegal, highly dangerous to you and others. Transport the critter - unsanitary at a minimum.

Public service announcements were created in the vein of serving the greater good of the people. WTF!?!?! How, why, who the hell thought this was a good idea. The more screwed up thing is the line of thinking that brought this whole series of laws/events into motion. People need to take responsibility and act accordingly as citizens, we don’t need out tax dollars and politicians time going into micromanaging our lives. Am I the only sane one or am I the nut-job here?

It happened for real during a traditional hindu ceremony at a temple in the southerly state of Tamil Nadu. The groom in question was a 33-year-old Indian farmer named Selvakumar, and he was married to a female dog named Selvi. He wedded his four legged bitch to repent for stoning two other dogs to death and stringing them up in a tree fifteen years ago. He believed the act cursed him and he had been troubled ever since, he told the Hindustan Times. After he stoned the dogs he said his legs and hands got paralyzed, he lost hearing in one ear, and his speech was impaired.

With physicians unable to help him, Selvakumar turned to an astrologist who assured him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he had killed. He could unmake the curse exclusively if he married a dog and live with it, the soothsayer warned. Family members picked out a stray female dog who was then bathed and dressed for the wedding affair.

Selvi the bride was brought to the temple by village women and a Hindu priest directed the ceremony. The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to his canine bride, which was adorned in an orange sari and flower garland.

The newspaper said the groom and his family then ingested a feast, while the dog got a roll. It was reported that Selvi attempted to make a dash for it — evidently due to the enormous crowds — but she was dogged down and returned to her brand-new ‘husband’.

“The dog is only for lifting the curse and after that, he plans to get a genuine bride,” a acquaintance of the groom said. Profoundly superstitious people in rural India sometimes coordinate weddings to dogs and other beasts, thinking it can beat certain curses.

Is the game already in the bag or has it just begun?

I’m rooting for both of them (even as a Libertarian Chicago fan) but I’m afraid the Steelers are a much safer bet, even in a game where anything can happen.

The Steelers at the AFC division championship game should become engaged in a defensive standoff with the Ravens. Obama has to deal with the offensive standoff between Israel and Palestine.
I don’t know about you but I’d rather be slide tackled Terrell Suggs than have Hamas lobbing rockets at me.

The Steelers, coming off a victory in the Tennessee, should have plenty of momentum to propel them through to the Superbowl. Obama is facing an economic downturn that may have plenty of momentum to drag us all into the worst recession, if not worldwide depression we have ever seen.
Not making it to the Superbowl vs. potential famine, calamity and poverty for millions… Eh, depends on if your in the game I suppose.

The Steelers have already won two hard fought victories over the Raven’s this season. Meanwhile the US is embroiled in two front’s in the Mideast that can’t exactly be called victory’s at this point. I’d take the latter option if I was Nixon in the middle of Watergate.

The horses I had in the race are already out of it, but it’s incumbent upon us as Americans to have faith and hold our leaders to a higher standard which I’m hoping Obama can measure up to. This one isn’t just a game, Obama gets sacked and we’re all in for a world of hurt.

Here’s to our new quarterback and hoping the blooper reel turns out in our favor. I’ll admit, I’m skeptical, because in the words of George Will “Football incorporates the two worst elements of American society: violence punctuated by committee meetings. “

The cause may seem self evident, but by in large I disagree with your premise. The appeal to this insomniac is a place to let you mind race in the hopes that it will idle down. Oddly enough I’ll also assert some of the crappiest diners also have some of the best coffee, burnt to perfection at times, genuinely quality stuff much less frequently but it does happen. It’s not the coffee keeping me up, it’s everything else I was thinking about before I even considered the destination. Meeting people and discussing ideas is not only good intra personal practice, on occasion you even meet that perfect stranger that just changes your perception of reality. scratch that, more frequently than not. Weather for the good, bad or indifferent at the very least it’s a good place to people watch and self evaluate. On occasion it’s actually relieved my insomnia, either by way of burning out my neurons by way of over stimulation (coffee and or conversation), or by allowing me to self actualize whatever the hell is bothering me. But don’t take my word for it, give it a go yourself next time you run into a bout. It’s either that or smack as far as I’m concerned… just kidding… maybe…

I suppose you could do that who clinical evaluation, “therapy”, head drugs, blah, blah, etc. but if you didn’t know I’m not the biggest fan. It has it’s place for those with genuine physiological problems, but for the mass majority of us I think it’s our own actions, reactions, attitudes and the like that may even cause some of those physiological issues. If it hasn’t got to that point … it is in fact all in your head. Think about it.

It’s amazing how many pills we as a nation ingest, my fellow insomniacs being part of the problem. I do so assert that it’s a problem because the quality of life enjoyed by Asian Monks seems, at least from a distance, to be much higher. The human race has survived for thousands of years without this wonderful cacophony of manufactured drugs and daily boosts of vitamins and the like. Why do we feel the need to pop pills? It’s the pillz effect I believe or the placebo effect. Countless studies have proven that people who think they are being treated for an illness indeed feel better, if not actually are better than when they began the study. What does this mean? I believe it may simply be a testament to the lack of care, TLC or sense of being important that is part of our culture today. Ego is well defined and is being found to be an essential part of our mental health, which appears to translate directly to our physical health.

In short, take a few pillz in your daily life and see how many fewer pills you think you need. It’s vital to feed you ego regularly, take pride in yourself, smell the roses, enjoy the small things as these directly translate to a longer and more enjoyable stay on this earth. The orient has had this little gem down for some time, isolated tribes still have it down, until we come along with all of our pills to screw it up. In my humble opinion.

I’m a bit of a talk radio connoisseur, as are many of us that travel cross country on a regular basis. I was introduced to talk radio some eight years ago now, and one of my first found favorites was Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.

At the time Art was not actually the host but Ian Punnit. Not having heard Art I thought Ian was a fine host (and still do actually). Art returned and I found a certain magic that Ian was lacking (although slightly). Art could take an obvious imbecile or nut-job and live on the air and make the call not only tolerable but enjoyable, even believable when it clearly was not. Later on I got the impression that some of Art’s guests and callers were scripted – which you wouldn’t know if you hadn’t been listening for a substantial period of time.

Art then handed the show over to George Noory, who I did my best to give time and credence to, although always felt he just didn’t quite cut the mustard (not for lack of trying). My issue with George is that he suffers no fools, which frankly the supernatural, alien, Bigfoot, conspiracy circles are chock full of. Although I appreciate his earnest search for the truth, he almost always comes off as that empirical scientist who cuts and explanation short simply because it does not fall into conventional thinking.

I have always considered Coast to Coast to be an odyssey of the mind for my insomnia and other insomniacs. Although we all yearn to find the definitive proof of the above cornucopia of what are currently considered pseudo sciences, the fun at midnight is sorting out the riffraff and grifters.

My advice to George: Take a page from Art’s play book – listen, then respond in a way to intrigue the audience, instead of quashing all hopes at the first sign of shenanigans. Maybe even consider allowing a script every now and again (wink).

I recently traveled through western Montana, and to my relief it was just as beautiful as I remember. Definitely not my choice for a winter retreat as I’m adverse to the cold, but to those that crave that kind of weather it would be a delight. Regardless of your temperature preference I find it difficult to choose a more scenic and peaceful place in the country than the north west in a general sense. I’m a bit of a rock buff, so that does slant my opinion I’m sure but it’s hard to deny the grandeur that the tectonic plates have produced. Just driving over the mountains gives you a dramatic shift in temperature and precipitation.

Gambling is legal there, if you’re into that. I saw a lot of video casino’s which are definitely not my cup of tea, I prefer physical card games. Of which there are most assuredly some, but were not the dominating game of choice.

Rock climbing should be one of the states main attractions, the limestone walls of the Rocky Mountains are located in the central part of the state, Montana’s hands off personal responsibility roots offer plenty of freedom allowing you to get yourself into limitless trouble.

Montana also has a plethora of historic interests from dinosaur bones to the colonization of the west. The state is also the natural habitat of many animals not seen throughout much the rest of the country. Some of the highlights being antelope, elk, black bears, grizzly bears as well as a number of unusual and migratory birds.

I’m not a good enough author to even begin to due the state justice in these few short words, and honestly I’m somewhat disappointed with the states official sites. My best advice would be to visit, and plan on staying a week, minimum.

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m tired of politicians making promises they can’t keep regarding things they shouldn’t have their hands in to begin with.

If indeed you are with me on this, my question to you is what will it take for YOU to get off your butt, get out of the house and actually physically get to you polling place and VOTE these two faced, slimy good for nothing so called public servants out?

We now have early voting, absentee voting along with a plethora of other options from voter turnout groups that will actually transport you to your polling place if you so desire.

My primary point is this. I’m a patriot, through and through. I genuinely hoped this election cycle with such a massive response to the $700 Billion bail out bill (which we overwhelmingly opposed and they passed anyway) that enough Americans had sat up and took notice of the one party system which we have been living under at least since Vietnam that we would actually do something about it. The Green Party and Libertarian Party are viable alternatives that would at a minimum give us some diversity of opinion on the hill. I’m sorry but if more of us do not become more informed and participate in this great political system we have we may just loose it. All those great Americans that fought and lost their lives to ensure our liberty may have indeed done so in vain.

Get up, vote! Vote for anyone but the incumbent, vote for anyone but a Republican or Democrat! Vote Mickey Mouse in for crying out loud but we need real change, less government not more. If you doubt my point ask yourself what have they done for you lately? Really? Tax rebates? Giving you your own money is not an accomplishment.

I loose sleep over it I tell you. I’m not an insomniac entirely by my own virtue.
