sleepy Sunday

I looked out the window and saw tongues of yellow flame hang suspended in the air. I looked again and saw dead leaves on a distant tree--leaves that were only a dull brown, at that.

Who needs drugs when you've got sleep deprivation?

Now I look out the window and see snow falling in the grey light of evening. It's been going on a while, so this probably is snow and not an illusion. The tree outside my window is sprouting white fur.

random hallucinations aren't something I'm familiar with from sleep dep... the effect I usually get is that everything looks like it's from an old movie (everything's moving too fast or in herky jerky motion). I know once I start spending a lot of time staring at my hand as I wave it back and forth (fun effect when not all mentally there), that I need to sleep some

Oh, those moments are fun, aren't they?

The strangest drive I've ever had in my life was one time I was coming home from babysitting my cousins who live in a suburb of Dayton about forty miles from mine. I don't remember if there was some reason I should've been so tired aside from the fact that it was close to two in the morning. Driving down I-70 west, I nearly jerked the cark off of the road as I turned to follow the path of a car that was flying (or in sane people's terms, crossing the freeway on an overpass). I still haven't figured out exactly what it was that I saw which made me think there was a parking lot where the eastbound lanes ought to be.
