<p><br />Chris Evans=Hell, yes. He better keep that hot bod in shape 'til May.</p>
<p>I want to scream. Actually, I did last week. I cried, too. It just doesn't seem real. It's weird because I just made it all up, you know? The book, that is. I mean, that's what novelists do&mdash;we make shit up, talk to ourselves, play out every possible scenario in our head and out of our head. I mean, I really just walk around and talk to myself all day long. But, in doing that, I wrote a book. And now that book is going to be a movie. And two amazing actors are going to play characters that at one point just existed in my head. That's why it's so weird. So to anyone out there who has a book in their head... write it! It just might be a movie one day.</p>

I always wake up or look at the clock at 3:33. Isn't that weird?</p>
<p>My sleeping is so screwed up and I hate it. It's really getting old.</p>
<p>I've been trying to get on a normal sleep schedule for months now and just when I think I have it, I don't. I can't sleep at night. I get motivated at night. My brain turns on at night. I just can't stop thinking. I think and think and think all night long and it keeps me awake. My mind talks to itself, I have this inner dialogue that just rambles on and on about nonsense. To all my friends who tell me I talk too much, I know! Tell me about it! I never. shut. up. Or, rather, my mind doesn't. I mean, if it had little hands and a Mac of its own, it would bust out at least a dozen books a year. (Easily ten pages a night.)</p>
<p>I'm taking a sleeping pill. The normal dosage is two pills but I'm only going to take one because it's already 4 AM and they give me nightmares anyway.</p>
<p>I'm still going to wake up at 9AM though. Because if I sleep in to make sure I get my eight hours, then my sleep schedule will never become normal.</p>
<p>Just needed to vent.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/2010/3/2/temple-grandin-at-ted.html"><rss:title>Temple Grandin at TED</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/2010/3/2/temple-grandin-at-ted.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Karyn</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-03-02T15:18:42Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I missed the <a href="http://www.hbo.com/#/movies/temple-grandin">HBO movie</a> about Temple Grandin, but I just watched the talk she gave at <a href="http://www.ted.com/">TED</a> this year and found it to be so interesting.

<p>Also, in case you're unfamiliar with <a href="http://www.ted.com/">TED</a>...</p>
<blockquote>
<p>TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: <strong> Technology, Entertainment, Design.</strong></p>
<p><span>&nbsp;</span>Gather the world's leading thinkers and doers, offer them four days of rapid-fire stimulation,  and the result? Unexpected <strong>connections</strong>. Extraordinary <strong>insights</strong>. Powerful <strong>inspiration</strong>.</p>

<p>I think you have to be invited to attend the conference (they only want the best and the brightest there!), but you can watch the lectures on their website. <a href="http://www.ted.com/">Click here to check it out</a>!</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/2010/2/27/the-liquor-store-guy.html"><rss:title>The Liquor Store Guy</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.prettyinthecity.com/blog/2010/2/27/the-liquor-store-guy.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Karyn</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-02-27T05:09:24Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.prettyinthecity.com/storage/2010/Wine.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1267248267781" alt="" /></span></span>I went to the liquor store tonight to buy a bottle of wine.
