Insomnia

I've had insomnia for nearly two weeks. I get to sleep eventually, but rarely before 5am, and so I only get about four hours of sleep. I'm not sure why or what's wrong. I don't feel stressed out or anxious so it's not that. I just don't feel like sleeping. I occupy my time studying, reading, doing stuff online, watching tv, listening to the radio, or just thinking.

These past couple of weeks I have been addicted to two songs. "Number 1" by Goldfrapp and "Silent Sigh" by Badly Drawn Boy (an old one but one of my favorite bands - they just make me feel happy, in a bittersweet kind of way). I more or less have both constantly on repeat, both when I'm working on my PowerBook and when I'm walking around London on my iPod. London is one of those cities that can really make a good song even better when you listen to it while you go about your day. Especially in the winter. It's the same as listening to a good song in your car on a rainy day in Kuwait. P and I always keep each other up-to-date on what we're listening to while we're apart. Music being such a significant part of us, we like to know what each of our weekly soundtracks are. There's also someone else in Kuwait who I have always shared music with. We consistently introduce each other to new stuff - great stuff. We've been doing it since we were in high school. Now that I'm here, we made a deal that we will periodically (about once every couple of weeks) send each other a text or E-mail with what we're listening to so that we can keep sharing our new discoveries (or re-discoveries as the case sometimes is) with each other. We both have equally eclectic taste in music so it works out well. Anyone who has ever been to chalet with us (or anywhere else for that matter) knows who I'm talking about! What are you guys listening to these days?
