It&#8217;s on Swedish TV regularly, but after watching a short portion of it once and finding it extremely distasteful, I&#8217;ve never bothered to watch the whole thing.

I can feel that sort of hot, stretchy feeling around my eyes that means if I laid my head on a pillow right now I&#8217;d be out in about 5 seconds. Why is it that I so rarely take my eyes up on that feeling? Instead, I sit at the computer and surf LJ or work on the AWC site, or whatever other projects I&#8217;m in the midst of&#8230;except my family homepage update and what the hell is THAT mental block all about?!
