Gotta Get Me One of Those!!!

For the last three weeks or so, I've been running around town, doing errands and work stuff. For the first time since I finished college, I feel that there isn't enough time in a day to do everything I need to do. Trying to figure out which tasks I can postpone or cancel can be challenging and confusing, but somehow I always end up sacrificing the task I want to do most: SLEEP.

So while driving somewhere on route to a work thing, I remembered a Top Three (a game we used to play on road trips where a category would be stated and each person would say their top three preferences or choices) category once asked: top three fictional inventions you'd like to have (I don't remember the actual category but something like that). And I remembered Hermione's Time Turner from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It was a gadget she wore on a chain around her neck with an hourglass she could turn and that brought her back in time to be able to use time she already spent elsewhere.

Although on normal days, I'd much rather have a Pensieve (the basin of silvery s**t used to store memories for easy access whenever you need them) or that camera-in-the-eye thing that can take instant pictures ready to print from your brain. Lately, I've been thinking that Time Turner would actually be very useful, even if I just wanted to use it to go back in time and sleep. That would be a very wonderful gadget to have around. Just thinking of the unlimited sleep I could actually get??? Damn!

And in the words immortalized by Will Smith in Independence Day, "I have got to get me one of these!!!" hehehe
