The Quarter Life Chronicles

Freudian Slip? 10/11/2008
 

I've been having some serious issues in sleeping in on the weekends.  I've been waking up before 8am and can't fall back asleep.  It's kind of pissing me off, though, I guess it does give me the opportunity to have some "me" time before the day starts.

This morning I decided to turn on the Today show.  As the President was having a Saturday morning "meeting" (did hell freeze over yet?)  the show cut to his speech and I tuned out for the most part.  I was jarred back to attention though when accidentally the network cut to a commercial for the new "Tale of Two Cities" musical...one moment I heard the drone of Bush and the next..."It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" and as I looked up I saw the flash of the Guillotine falling...and cut immediately back to Bush.

Of all the footage/commercials that the tv could have cut to accidentally-that particular commercial had to be one of the most fitting.  I think I will be laughing at that for a VERY long time. 

I feel bad for the guy who fell asleep at the switch though-I'm sure that he's getting the boot right about now.

Here's wishing you a sleepy next weekend!
That sounds like an appropriate faux pas. *giggle*

I've got to wonder just how much of an "accident" that really was!

I didn't know there was a play based on "A Tale of Two Cities" - that's my very favorite book of all time!

I can't sleep in on weekends anymore either! It's really annoying, isn't it? I think the internal clock just gets stuck on weekday alarm call and won't let you sleep past it :/
