Science of Sleep

Last night, I went to see the new Michel Gondry film, The Science of Sleep. Finally, a movie I can relate to! What an inspirational film.

And, of course, last night I spoke in my sleep after a two-week hiatus. Oh man, I should watch that movie every night before bed, with these kinds of results.



29 Sep 2006 - "All This Stuff"

Here's my attempted transcript:
"Won't get anything like, all the stuff on, all this stuff, the um, the um, tho co-cochineal, the coke-meal pad. I built one on this side. So you can, you can um, cut your, cut your tomate or yer...cut your tomatoes on this side of thur, sides at the same time.

Not much to say - but raccoons!

I haven't been saying too much in my sleep lately. I notice that when I talk less, I snore more. Maybe I'm too tired to enter the somniloqy state? I have been ultra-tired these past couple weeks.

Two nights ago, when I was taking the dogs out, I met a family of raccoons sitting on the fence at the next complex. It was a big mama and her four babies. They were adorable. The dogs didn't like 'em too much, so I tied them up inside and went out alone to watch. The mama was a little concerned about me, but I just stood still, told her "It's okay," and she went about her business of trying to get her kids off the fence and up on the carport roof. I didn't watch the whole time, but I know she got at least two of the kids out of there. The other two must've gone at some point too, because they weren't there in the morning. Heh. Here are some pictures.


The four babies, huddled together.


Mama trying to scare me away, standing and hissing. I took a snapshot, then slowly backed away. I wouldn't want to tussle with a mama raccoon.


These guys were having a bit of trouble getting up that wall. I think Mama helped the other two by letting them crawl up her back. I can't be sure, as this happened when I was walking the dogs.


As foreboding as this looks, that kitty wasn't the least bit interested in eating these babies. Moreso, just interested in what was going on.


And, because this is a sleeptalk blog, here's an old one. It's me sleep-revealing why my sleep recordings are so hi-fidelity. Ha, ha.
