Big, Loud, and Live https://www.fandango.com/dci2017:bigloud26live14_202428/movieoverview aired August 10, 2017 presented by Fathom Events https://www.fathomevents.com/. A colleague and I met up to watch the show. It was a very good presentation, lasting close to 5 hours, not counting waiting for the tallying of results, which we did not wait for.
But for close to 5 hours, we heard blaring drum corp music, which is enjoyable to listen to and the performances are fun to watch. But the music is loud, and jarring. Because of that, it takes me a long time to wind down after seeing a performance. So, I planned to take off from work on the 11th of August. The problem is, I need to get up early to be ready for the air conditioner/furnace replacers.
So now, I am home and have cleaned out the area for the air conditioner/furnace replacers to work, finished reading email, finished playing computer games, have had some wine, and am watching a second interesting movie, having already watched In the Heat of the Night http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061811/. Now I am watching The Bedford Incident http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058962/.
I like submarine movies, and thought I had seen The Bedford Incident before. But I do not remember anything about it. I do remember my father and brother talking about it when it came out, or maybe, they discussed the book. My father did not read a lot of books when we were growing up, but he liked a good military or historical thriller.
So, I am waiting to get sleepy enough to so to sleep. If I try lying down before I am sleepy, I just toss and turn, and waste sometimes the whole night trying to sleep. I try using relaxation breathing, and progressive muscle relaxation, but it does not work. This has been my life's history regarding sleep. It just is, and I have only had a few periods in my life when my sleep was better. But, I don't mind. Especially when I do not have to be on my best game the next day.
