Can't sleep

I have to take Ambien to help me sleep because I have ADHD really bad.  If I don't take a sleeping pill I'm up all night.  I'm a real bad insomniac.  I would love to be able to just lay down and bam I'm asleep but I can only do that when I'm so exhausted from lack of sleep lol.

I also have Sleep Apnea which means I gotta wear a mask on my face which forces air into my lungs through my nose and that's also why I need ambien.  Believe me, if you were me you would not say jack shit about drug abuse by taking ambien because wearing that mask and having the air forced into your lungs doesn't make falling asleep easy.  I've had it for a few years too and I still can't sleep without a sleeping pill.

My problem though is that I think I'm becoming immune to the affects of the ambien which is why I lay in bed for 2 hours with my eyes closed but brain still open for business.

Well, my first ambien I took was only half a pill (for this very reason) so I've already taken the other half and now I'm ready to get back in bed.

Until tomorrow...

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

There is a movie that I just heard about that is from Joss Whedon and family that I am head over heals for.  It's called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog which stars Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible and Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer.

OMG it is so good.  It's basically a 42 minute musical (as by the title) comedy all about Dr. Horrible sitting in front of his computer doing video blogs and he tries to rule the city while Captain Hammer always tries to save the day.  But Captain Hammer is a pompous prick.

Normally you would root for the good guy but in this movie the good guy is a douche and you root for the bad guy instead because even though he is evil to the core, he's still a sweet lovable guy who just wants to get the girl (gag).

Let's face it, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion are perfect for these roles.  They both can sing.  Oh boy can they sing.  And they both do such a great job in this as their characters.

Dr. Horrible's... was a little movie with 3 acts filmed during the writers strike of 2008.  I was told by a friend tonight about this musical episode that it was going to be a new summer 2009 show for ABC but when I went to ABC.com it didn't show anything so I just assumed it was Hulu only.  Then I discovered that Amazon has the DVD for sale.


I also Googled the shows title and found the official website.  I'm reading the "Master Plan" and I see that it was only going to be available to see on the internet until July 20th 2008 then it's gone from the internet forever.  But... it is still on the internet.


If you would like to buy it on DVD make sure you go to Amazon and to www.drhorrible.com to download it on iTunes.  They also have some t-shirts for sale for $25.



Nathan is in his own show on ABC called Castle which is on Monday's at 10/9C and Neil Patrick Harris is still in How I Met Your Mother on CBS Monday's at 8:30/7:30C.

Which ever show you watch you can also watch them at Hulu, that you can be sure of.

New Joss Whedon Show - Dollhouse

I recently heard about a new show on Fox called Dollhouse which is created by Joss Whedon starring Eliza Dushku.  I liked her as Faith in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I didn't watch her other show but apparently it didn't last long because she is now in Dollhouse.

I tried watching the first episode of Dollhouse on Hulu but I wasn't really that into it.  I mean, if I really wanted to watch it I've had the last few days to try since I first heard about it and I haven't tried to watch it again.

It's about Echo who is an "Active" for this illegal underground organization called Dollhouse.  They use these women as pawns to do certain tasks for them then they erase their memory.  These women can never have a real life outside of the Dollhouse.

I'll try and watch it again.

Tune in to Fox on Friday's at 9/8C for Dollhouse.

Edit: I moved the parts about Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog so it has it's own post.  When I typed this it was under the impression that it was going to be a new summer show which is what someone was excitedly telling me.  After I typed it all out I did my research and found out it was a movie made in 2008 and it is not a preview of what we can expect this summer.

Xanth

I've finished reading the 2nd Xanth book entitled "The Source of Magic". I'm waiting for the 3rd and 5th book to arrive in the mail and I have the 4th book already.

I really liked The Source of Magic, although the 11th and 12th chapter had me shaken up because of Chester, Crombie and Humfrey, what happened to them.  But when I got to the last 2 chapters I felt more at ease.  I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't read these books yet.  I know this one was written in 1979 (or at least published) and many have probably already read them but I'm just now reading them so I'm sure there are many others who have not read them yet.

A friend of mine, Alyce, bought me the 3rd and 5th book and sent them yesterday along with a few other goodies hehe so I have to wait for those to come before my adventure continues.  And I'm sure it will be here on Monday (crosses eyes, fingers and legs).

But what to do with my time while I wait...  Hmmmm.... what shall I do?
