Life From Afar

Have you guys heard of Chuck Palahniuk? He wrote fight club and is the proud owner of this quote:

"When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake."

Now replace 'insomnia' with 'jet lag' and its a perfect description of where my head is on this fine Californian day.

Fight club also has this quote tucked in somewhere towards the middle of the book and it describes jet lag directly. Its just a bit to angsty for my taste.

"You wake up at Seatac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? "

Chuck. He scares me a bit. I enjoyed Fight Club because of Ed.
Glad you returned home safely.
Hork down some vitamins with a few glasses of wine and settle down for a nap.

Hork. Heh.

That recipe has been my stabilizer for the last couple of weeks. Or months. Its all kind of blurry.
