Hello again, everyone. It's 4 AM in Virginia, and I'm still as wide awake as the annoying birds that are chirping away outside my window. Since coming home, I've come to realize that the most annoying thing about being jet lagged is the birds. The birds here in VA are extremely strange. They start chirping and screeching away starting about 3:30 AM at dusk, which happens to be just around the time when I get into bed. I shuffle around my sheets for about an hour, fighting - with no success, might I add - to keep the noise from registering into my consciousness. Actually, it's quite ironic. The more I try to ignore the noises, the more I become alert, and the harder it is for me to lose consciousness (Jon Paris, anyone?). Crazy birds. They might catch the worm, but they sure don't earn my affection.
I just finished watching the movie "Babel" (yeah...watching movies is how I'm spending away my summer at the moment >.<). If you haven't seen it yet, I highlyyy recommend it. It's so dang depressing. Wow, seriously, there was not a single moment in the movie when I wasn't depressed. It's one of those movies that makes you want to gag and rip your hair out while watching it, but afterward, the movie makes you realize how precious, as well as how fleeting and agonizing, life really is. I even teared up during one of the scenes, which isn't something that I normally do. Heck, I actually PRAYED during some scenes. That's just weird.
Okay, I just wanted to share that with you all. Hope everyone is enjoying this break! I'd love to hear more about it :)

Have you seen Crash? I felt like Babel was a lot like Crash but I didn't understand Babel as well. We should talk about it sometime! Maybe during the odd hours when we're both awake.
