Jet Lag? Or Hell?

My jet lag is horrific at this point. Night before last I went to bed at one and woke at five thirty. Last night I went to bed at two and woke up at seven. What is wrong with me? I was full of bluster the first day I got back - 'Oh, all you need is a little sleep deprivation! Look at me, I feel great!' Well, now I feel like I'm moving through syrup... which sounds cooler than the sensation is. Not to mention I have about a ka-jillion things to do now that I'm back in the States... which makes my desire to curl up on the couch watching Downton Abbey (or going and buying Diablo III to fritter away my whole summer) unlikely to happen any time soon. Ugh... can I still be on vacation for awhile longer? It seems strange that I don't have a job, and yet I still have all these things I need to do. Wow, could I whine any more?

Overall though, Houston is treating me pretty well. It's nice to be back with my Dad and friends I made before I left. I'm definitely looking forward to spending my summer here, even though it's already starting to get pretty warm. August is gonna be a B.I.T.C.H. (Bit of Intense Temperature Causing Heatstroke - damn, I'm clever). C'est la vie, there's always pools available. Now I just need to work on that swimsuit body... Jordan definitely took a toll on my healthy eating habits.

Well, rather than having anything that's really profound to post today, I thought I would go ahead and just entertain you with some bits and pieces I found on the internetz this morning while I couldn't sleep. Since I watched LotR on the flight from Frankfurt (under the influence of Xanax - the melodrama was fabulous), I dug up these two gems from the youtube vaults for some giggles:

Also, I found this on verydemotivational.com.

THIS is so true.

Alrighty. That's about it for now. Hopefully I'll be less cracked out on sleep deprivation tomorrow and actually give you a decent post. I've decided that since I don't have any incredible trips planned in the foreseeable future, I should catch you up on other aspects of my life as well as my previous experiences/trips... but I'm too lazy right now.

Cheers!
