LATE-NIGHT REMINISCING

I have a love/hate relationship with my late night machinations. I am typically up way later than anyone else I know, so I can't share what goes through my head at the exact moment it's happening. By the time I go to sleep and wake up, the ephemeral moment has passed.

Tonight I watched "Adventureland," which I had saved on my DVR. Cute flick. I enjoyed it immensely, but it also brought me back. Way back. It's set in 1987, which is perhaps why it resonated. Also, I watched it on the heels of another actual 1987 film, Oliver Stone's "Wall Street."

While searching for some songs on my super helpful Windows 7 laptop, typing in the key words "don't dream" not only found the Crowded House song I was looking for, but also a few old blog posts from 2002. I always marvel at how I can go back and reread something I'd written and it still makes me laugh. What it means, I may never know, nor do I necessarily need to know, but it's nice to see that I can still impress myself, even eight years hence.
