Lack of sleep can play tricks on the mind.
I ordered a breakfast sandwich at Horties in Quebec a couple days ago and did 2 peculiar things:
- I asked for a receipt
- I apologized as I accidently plowed over a woman on route to the washroom
What made these 2 routine remarks stand out, was that I uttered them both in German when I was supposed to be attempting a high school learned, rarely used, French accent. (Thanks Mrs. Beaton. I loved your class.) But I don’t speak German, other than a few random phrases which obviously don’t come in handy in the land of poutine and sexy road bars. I didn’t realize my error until a strange look was given to me with my change from behind the counter and I corrected myself with a reddened face.
I wonder how that happens. Is it glitch inside my fatigued head or am I just crazed?
I have a habit of wondering about pointless things, probably as an unintentional distraction from the tasks at hand, and life in general when times are taxing. Oh how life has it’s little quirks and quarks (CBC plug). Why is it that:
- People don’t flush public toilets (C’mon folks, grow the hell up)
- Hotels with no real amenities can charge you a limb for a spring riddled bed. (I guess I’m paying to NOT leave the room itching and rashy, so the charge is somewhat valid)
- Cats are considered cute and cuddly (Wheeze, sniff, ugh… I like my pets to a) come when called, b) not swat at my legs and c) be domesticated… in the kitchen, baking pies, maybe dusting)
- We torture ourselves by wearing thongs (or rather, clotheslines) that create the great divide. (It’s like bottom segregation. Shouldn’t both halves be equal? They are not funderwear)
It was a slew of mindless questions like these that kept me awake last night. I didn’t sleep. Again. I haven’t slept a proper nights sleep in quite a while. Weeks. I’m carrying more luggage below my eyes than I typically take with me on a month long tour (and I’m a girl with gear). I do have the ability to fall asleep lying on a tarmac with a 747 screeching by, however my nights have been ending at first light and my mornings have crept in before the drool has had a chance to absorb into the pillow case. I’ve now ruined the mystery… yes, girls drool. But we drool rose petals, thankfully. And some of us snore. (not me of course)
So, for all you out there listening, without the sleep I need to function, I may speak in foreign tongues. I may randomly shed a tear for no reason. I may also be a bit snippy (I’m forewarning you all) without a proper explanation.
Tonight I plan on laying my head on the pillow before dawn… but only if dawn is consenting. No means no, but lately the stars have been quite vocal about their wanting control of my nights and they’ve been keeping me up all night.

I saw your group last month in London, Ontario. Probably one of the best young groups I heard in some time. I wish you would consider coming down to the US. If you are interested in a tour or just a few dates in the Charleston, SC area, please contact me. A great time for a group like yours to be seen here would be for the Spoleto Festival. Check it out on line. There are other venues as well depending on the size of the audience you are seeking. Your group is excellent and could reach lots of different audiences. http://www.spoletousa.org/
To answer your question about flushing public toilets…. I for one think it makes sense to “let it mellow if it’s yellow”, in order to save water. Provided its not getting stinky, that is. Also provided you’re not planning on doing anything else with the water in the toilet other than just what it’s meant for. We all need to do what we can to reduce our impact on the Earth! Of course, if its brown, flush it down.
On a more pleasant topic: we’ve just rec’d your new album here at our station in Western North Carolina, and I’m very impressed! We’ll start playing it soon. Please drop us a line when you come through the area, so we can set up an interview, OK?
