Freaky Sunday.

I couldn't get a wink last night. I hit the covers at around 12.45 and, at the very most, had only 3 hours of sleep. I think I woke up at around 3am and couldn't sleep since.
So, do the math and I had an approximately 3 hours of sleep. Or even less.
Anyway, if you know me well, I am not the sort who wasted time. At least, not the sort of wasted that much time.
I just sat in my bed and looked up.
You know that very famous scene from Independence Day? The one Will Smith acted in? Yes. Remember in one of the scences when this huge, oversized alien mothership was coming out of the clouds with sparks flying here and there, just before it zapped the White House into bits? Yeah. I swore I saw something like that with my two eyes last night.
Take away the that grown out of proportions monster and you get a purple cloud of sorts with lightning bolts darting out in all possible directions. Initially, I thought my eyes were playing tricks with I saw my cupboard "emit" flashes of light. I simply realized that it must have been too much tv last night. So, I turned away and continued to look at traffic, or anything that was on the road at that time. Then, the cupboard went bright again.
You know, I am rather surprised here that I didn't see that big cloud hovering about the highway.
The thought of Gates of the Other World popped into my mind momentarily but I thought "Ah, if they want to get me they won't be so fancy and spendthrift to use all these special effects. Just open the earth and suck me in. Simple. Clean and no one on earth will know what the hell happened to me."
Then , I looked somemore and the cupboard flashed again.
I cussed, rubbed my eyes and thought "Great, now I'm having problems with my vision."
Then, it was when I finally looked and ta-dah! Found that purple, jelly-fish liked, cloud.
I think it was a jelly-fish of some sort.
Anyway, lighnting, electrons or protons or whatever, were darting out off every direction.
How fun!-____-
Something about lightning always fascinates me. Or maybe it's just Zeus holding that lightning bolt in his hand and not being zapped to death. Some rubber or plastic hand it must be.
Anyway, lightning shot out from the left, from the right but it never did rain. Just a playful cloud I guess.
I doodled the time away until about 5 when I decided to lay down a little more and had a short shut-eye until I was awoken; this time by the alarm clock.
It was about 6.30. My mum was preparing to leave to visit my grandma at the hospital and my dad had to do something back in the office.
The house was dead-still, and still is, when I got up.
Well, looking on the bright-side, at least there's more time to doodle away today. The nasty cloud is still there at the moment, although now its making its presence felt by growling.
The weather.

this used to be a funhouse. But now it’s full of evil clowns.
