I've been awake since 2:30 am. On occasion I have been productive (I cleaned the cat litter) but mostly I've been staring at the ceiling. Insomnia sucks, y'all. I'm thinking about going into work early. I'll probably be a zombie by 2 pm, though. But I'll be a zombie by the afternoon whether I go into work or not, so I might as well make use of the time.

[personal profile] legionseagle provides a simply beautiful takedown of Claire Dikecoglu's review of the Martin Freeman Richard III. And she has a lot of interesting things to say about Shakespeare in general along the way.

It reminded me of a fascinating book I read years ago while staying with my godparents: Year of the King, by Antony Sher, all about his time playing Richard III in the 1980's. Amazingly enough, it's still in print, though only in hard copy, not e-book format. I think I'll buy it.

Took John Henry* and Aeryn Sun** into the Apple Store yesterday after work, and naturally they managed to fix my insoluble problems within 5 minutes. Horrible din in there, though. You can hardly hear yourself think.

A friend is looking for a good hairdresser in the Madison, Wisconsin area as her trusted hairdresser of many years is retiring.

Crowdsourcing info: are sleep apnea pillows good, or an overpriced racket?

* John Henry is my laptop, because it is NOT Skynet.
** Aeryn Sun is my phone, because it wears a lot of black and is tough as nuclear nails.
