old and new



Since tonight is sleeping pill night (one day a week I take sleeping pills at 8:00 so that I wake up at a decent time the next day and hopefully keep up such a schedule for the rest of the week) I'm going to hastily write this blog.

Here's a snippet from Olivier the biography by Terry Coleman which I quite (sentimentally) liked.

"...some people, surrounded by mirrors and a myriad reflections, don't count for very much, yet one man, with no mirrors at all, standing on a totally empty stage, can mean everything." 440

Today:

-- Woke at 12:00 after unsuccessfully waking for my alarm at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, or 11:00
-- Went to see Breakfast at Tiffany's at the BFI. Delightful to see a well-beloved old movie on a movie screen just as it would have been seen in the '50's when it first premiered.

-- Went to Caffe Nero, had a panini, drank small breakfast tea, and read Olivier

Now:

-- Going to take a shower
-- Eat a Sundae and watch Lark Rise to Candleford
-- Take two sleeping pills, read The London Lite, and the London Paper, and (hopefully) go to sleep early and get up tomorrow morning at 7:00
