A mixture of things
I have been sleeping chronically badly, which has lead to me getting up late, which leads to me not being able to sleep at night, which leads to me sleeping badly. Yay, vicious cycle.
The problem isn't creeping insomnia, or rather, it's not just creeping insomnia, it's that I have vivid dreams. Sometimes it's not so bad, like a couple of weeks ago, I had a nice dream where I could smell things, if you understand what I mean, not just the usual sight and sound but smell too (and touch). Unfortunately, sometimes it's not so good, like last night's where I was in the RDJ Sherlock Holmes 'verse, and Holmes had gone missing. I was helping Watson find him, because he was urgently needed because someone was going round using acid to melt people in the streets (for reasons unknown, people melting has been a feature of my dreams since I was 3). We couldn't find him, and there were a couple of run-ins with various thugs and Watson was sitting on a bench in a London Station (unidentified during the dream, but looking back on it, probably Baker Street) and was all bloodied and beaten up. He just looked so miserable that I had to give him a hug. Of course, that's when Holmes appears, and then there is further derrer-doing. Not exactly the recipe for a good night's sleep.

I have been watching the Six Nations. Obviously I'm a bit upset for Wales and there's no way Ireland ought to have beaten Italy, although if Italy can maintain that level of performance in the other matches I can see them winning a couple. My favourite photo has to be this one - http://brightnshinythings.tumblr.com/post/3128771713/my-favourite-thing-about-this-how-happy-the The Italian photographers look so happy.
Saw most of the Scotland v France game. France did that think they do where they're awful one match and brilliant the next. Unfortunately for Scotland, they caught France on a good day. That being said, Scotland played well.
The next round of games are going to be interesting.

Day 20 - A moving (emotional) scene
Emotional how? I mean, there's films that have hit me so hard that I refuse to watch them again (hello, Green Mile) and films that make me cry every time I watch them (Gladiator). Films that make me smile and laugh, and cackle with devious glee. Once again, the question is too broad.
