Well it's good night Irene, good night Irene! On the East coast, Irene is doing her dance along the coast. We could use some of the rain, but not a hurricane along with it.

Did my laundry today. Slept in late this morning, but got out and about finally to do laundry, run errands, and such.

Watched a movie: Affliction. It's a dark, brooding film that centers around family violence and corruption. It was overly long, I thought, but even so it also seemed somehow incomplete. One of the characters starts the film with a narration and closes the film as well. His set up and wrap up bookend the action, but seems more like a device than a necessity. The film garnered several awards including an Oscar for Coburn in a supporting role (Nolte was nominated for Best Actor). There was something not quite cohesive about the film.

Despite all of the sleep I've been getting, I still get tired. I've been using an afternoon caffeine boost which seems to work. Always something! Life goes on!
