can't sleep again, fuck my liiiiife
So apparently my body has decided that rather than the crippling 2-3 day migraines I used to get with my period, I'm now going to be dealing with insomnia. Which, OK, acceptable trade, but this staying up till 4am thing is getting ridiculous, especially when the plan for the next day is to get up at a reasonable time and head to the library to do homework. :( I am actually kinda tired, but the moment I try to actually go to sleep my brain kicks into high gear. What's worse, I'm not even thinking about one thing, it's like skipping tracks or flipping through TV channels at high speed, so I only get fragments of words and flashes of the ShamWow! guy hawking the latest whatchamacallit on late night TV.
I fell into the Covert Affairs hole today, and watched a bunch of first season eps. I love this show SO MUCH! I'm kinda iffy on Jai, because he just seems too... idk, smooth or something, and Liza, because I've never really liked any character played by Emmanuelle Vaugier, but everyone else is kinda totally awesome. ESPECIALLY ODED FEHR I HOPE HE COMES BACK SOON.
While I was watching, I started knitting a hat, because we were at the shop today, and I realized that there's no point in buying a premade hat when I can make a better one myself, so instead we went next door, and bought some yarn. Acrylic, sure, but for a quickie hat, it's perfect. So I tried a couple of cast-ons, figured out the approximate gauge I'd need, and then realized, after knitting an inch and a half of ribbing, that I didn't check the pattern to see how many stitches I'd need. But it turned out that I only needed to make one small change, and everything was fine. And then I knitted about four inches of the thing before I decided to try it on, and discovered that it was far too loose to be of any use. And then I frogged it, did some quick alterations to the pattern, and cast on again. Hopefully this time it'll actually be the right number of stitches, augh.

Ahhh, yey! Covert Affairs! I didn't like this show originally (I missed most of the first and seconds seasons), but now it's grown on me so much!

Originally, I watched I think the first one or two eps, and was kinda meh about it, and other things that I wanted to watch more were on so I skipped it. But then
I wonder if the same thing will eventually happen with The Walking Dead. I gave up on it partway through last season, because I ended up hating all the characters and rooting for them to be eaten by the zombies, but everyone's all OMG IT'S SO GOOD THIS SEASON THIS MAKES UP FOR LAST YEAR'S SUCK. *hands* IDK.

Yeah, it was kind of meh all over the place. But this season has vastly improved things. Though, I'm still praying for the day this show gets a new opening. It's just painful.
Ahaha! I had to give up on Walking Dead after two episodes because it gave me horrible nightmares. Which makes me sad because I love Norman Reedus. But everyone has been saying amazing things about this season, so maybe?
