...random a day
You ever get that crick in the back of your neck from sleeping on your head funny? Well, I do. It's not that often but it usually comes after I do something horrifically stupid while I'm asleep. Some of you may know this already, but most doctors and smart health people agree that sleeping on your belly is the worst way to sleep. After careful consideration, I'm beginning to believe them.
For years my favorite way of sleeping was on my stomach. I'd nestle my head all up close to my pillow and relax comfortably...but no more. It just puts too much strain on my neck. It's like holding it in the far left or right turned position for 8 hours straight (obviously) and curiously, after nearly 20 years of use...this is actually uncomfortable. This reminds me of the time when I was younger and I was sleeping on my belly with my head turned to the right. With my head STILL turned to the right, I proceeded to attempt to turn my body to the left and at some point during the process I woke up with a jolt and heart my neck pop loudly. It hurt to keep it completely still...it REALLY hurt to move it in the slightest in any direction. Eventually my gasping cries reached my mother who wrapped my head in place with my pillow. It eventually got better...but man, that sucked.
The moral of the story is basically, if you sleep on your stomach, try to force yourself to sleep on your back or side...because if you don't something's going to pop and then you've just gotten your head taped to a pillow.
In other news I just bought myself my Christmas gift. A couple of days ago I was thinking about the glory days back at grandma Sloan's and how I used to love playing/watching my cousin Stephen play the old Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Graphic Adventure for DOS. I found it on ebay 100% complete. Every floppy disc, every manual, even Henry's diary and the little red Lucasfilm games decoder film...all in the original box. I snached it up for just $15 and I can't wait to pop that baby in and let the good times roll...8 bit style!

Niiiiice.
What am I, glass?
As I recall, there were three of us sitting around the computer playing Indiana Jones. And it was both Stephen and me that wouldn't let you play.
I cry icy tears this day.
