can't sleep chronicles (part 1)

i have these nights. when my body says 3 hours of sleep is just about all it can take. so instead of lying awake, letting my mind go to all the crazy thoughts i forbid it to go to during daytime, i give up and watch tv in the living room.


jamie at home (TLC). he wraps a couple of ginger cookies in a dishtowel and bangs them on the table, apparently to crush them. then he gives this look that says - 'what? it worked right?' - funny :) he's cool. down to earth cooking. well except for his le creusets.


banged up abroad (national geographic). american missionary gets kidnapped south of the philippines. he suffers horrendously but he manages to escape when one of his captors helps him. captor leads him out of the forest on to a boat with captor's own daughter to accompany the missionary. that is one good story. missionary asks captor why he helped him, captor says 'i believe we are brothers under the same big god' (or something to that effect). god bless him and his family.


very bad men (crime and investigation). guy charms women and manages to milk lots of money from them. watching him talk, he really is charming. i wonder which is worse, breaking hearts (and therefore one's spirit) or stealing.


great weekend getaways (TLC). not really watching this one cuz i'm writing this blog. just listening to it. i like samantha brown. natural. funny. classy with a touch of clumsy. :)


and while i was watching, i just ate leftover chicken and brocolli alfredo. i got this recipe from allrecipes.com under their 30 minute pasta meals. sauce is just bits of chicken, broc, cream of mushroom soup, milk, parmesan and pepper. so easy. it's the parmesan that makes the difference. ooh and a glass of ice cold coke. at 3 am.
