I watched "Funny People" with some friends earlier. I'd seen it before, but I watched it more closely this time. My overall review has not changed. It is a really good movie that makes you sad. It is deep and thought provoking. It really makes you think about some things. It's also absolutely hilarious. And among the most depressing movies I've ever seen. I'm not saying I love it, in fact, I rather prefer movies that make me happy. I am saying that "Funny People" offers an amazing range of human emotion. It is real.

I'll also just finished reading another book, "Number 6 Fumbles" by Rachel Solar-Tuttle. Also fantastic, and very real. It is a great insight into the way that a thinking woman, well, thinks. It portrays a woman suddenly seized by crippling self-doubt. She struggles with the same fears we all do, the same insecurities. It's good to know that these things are, if not universal, at least shared.

So next time you feel like your emotions are so strong you just need to know that others go through the same things, I'ma go head and suggest both of these. Even though both protagonists are in different situations than you they are both, poignantly, people.

Oh, and 2+ hours of sleep last night. Along with the 4 from Thursday I'm at 12 hours since Thanksgiving Day. Averaging 1.5 per night. Starting to think I'm not normal.
