Pretty often I get headaches at night which interfere with my sleep. I wish I knew what caused this; I drink tons of water and rarely drink soft drinks or eat much sugar and have properly prescribed eye glasses, so I wonder if I have some sort of food allergy I'm not aware of. At times like this it seems like the only place I can fall asleep is the ratty old couch in my room, which is way too small to comfortable. I don't even know where it came from originally; a friend of mine had it in his college dorm room freshman year, and when he said something about throwing it out I grabbed it before he could. I expect it's probably at least a 4th or 5th hand piece of furniture. A lot of times I just strum my guitar until I am asleep enough to almost drop it, and then drop my head back for a few hours of raucous snoring. There's pretty much no way for me to sleep on that couch that doesn't involve having my nose pointed straight up to the ceiling and my mouth wide open, and apparently my roommate can hear me quite clearly from his room across the hall. Pretty often after a couple hours I'll wake myself up with a particularly big snort, and if my headache has subsided, I'll crawl up into my loft and go to sleep for real. It's weird how much comfort that couch has given me over the years. It's kind of like a home within itself. 

A very dirty home, with lots of holes and stains all over it and very very saggy cushions. 

Please...

...watch this and then tell me it isn't one of the coolest things you've ever seen. This video ("Fully Flared") was directed by Spike Jonze for Lakai (of Art Dump fame) and took four years to complete. Perhaps because each skater had to be treated for broken bones and shrapnel removal between each take. Just a theory.
