Is it bad luck to watch the movie Insomnia while I'm suffering from insomnia? I have the DVD even though I don't really like the movie. I don't think I've even ever watched the disk before.

I'm reading through a hilarious website right now (5ives.com). Because of it's randomness (coupled with the Tylenol PM i took an hour ago that hasn't kicking in enough to make me sleepy, only talkative and a wee bit loopy) I've decided to make a list of the five random things I did throughout the coarse of the day:

• Played dozens of games of Yahoo! Pool despite my clear denials of addiction. Does this mean I have to give my 90 day "free and clear" chip back?
  
• Took lots of pictures of the sky. I find myself doing that a lot. Also took one of a guy at work who didn't know I was taking his picture. I find myself doing that a lot, too.
  
• Started keeping a journal for the first time in years (and no, this doesn't count -- this is more a way to friviously spend my seeming wealth of idle time). I probably haven't kept one since the last time I was in Europe (2001). I plan on keeping one when I go back so I suppose it's good to get in the habit of it, even if I did only start writing again tonight to try and become more sleepy (ie. why i'm writing this, too).
  
• Discovered that Mount Tauro in Taormina, Sicily really is as nice as my book says. Of coarse I came about this information talking to a guy who lives there (would he really have told me no?).
  
• Found another pic I took a few nights ago while I was driving when it was really foggy (yes, I know I'm supposed to be taking pictures while i'm driving at night in the fog but i'm going to do it anyway so just mind your own business). I love this picture.
