In light of creepy bastards trying to enter my apartment, my sleep has been subject to daylight hours in 15-minute intervals. I'm awake, I'm asleep, I'm awake, I'm asleep... then it's dark... and I'm awake. It's amazing how one attempted break-in can help improve your hearing. Now, I'm attune to every sound, creak, break, or crash that happens within earshot of my apartment.
Saturday night I spent the evening on the sofa, "sleeping" with one eye open and watching the door. Last night, I decided to give the bed a shot. Leaving the lights on throughout the house, I wandered into the dark bedroom, turned on the TV and scrolled around in search of something mind-numbing to watch. I opted for a movie On Demand, and found my way to Encore's On
Demand listing.
The options were endless -- and mindless -- and included classic favorites like, "Stand By Me," "High Fidelity," and "Only You." New movies including, "The Queen," and "The Pursuit of Happyness" were highlighted, but I choose to stick with the oldies. I flipped on "High Fidelity" and curled up with my pillow for a restless night. I was comforted by John Cusak's good looks and Jack Black's comedic timing. But, a standing ovation goes to Encore On Demand for providing a selection of movies to take my mind off the chaos of the outside world.
I didn't "sleep", per se, but I rested. The door is being fixed this week and with that, I may just feel safe enough to move the kitchen table back to its proper spot.
