PS Super trooper: my english teacher did the samething to me. It's kind of a bug when you just want to read a story, but it helps when you want to rite something, right?
Part 2
After a hard day of work, there's nothing quite like a nice... night of hard work. It was 2:30 in the morning, and I couldn't get to sleep. I try not to get my private and profesional lives to intemingled, but, insomnia i just one of those un-advertised perks of my job. If it hadn't been this case, it would have been an unsolved case from a different area. Or impending legal action on another case. If it hadn't been work, it would have been an unsatiable craving for the verdict of a supreme court case back in 1908. If it wasn't that, I would have found somthing else to wory about, or even sat down on the couch to watch old Jay Leno reruns. Tonight, the T.V. was only there to give me background noise. It was beter than blaring Bethoven at 3 in the morning. When my neigbor, who could barely hear when you asked her not to steal your newspaper, would "have the cops down in a jiffy" if you didn't stop disturbin her beauty sleep.
I was looking through the notes I'd taken over the last day, but couldn't help stopping to imagine Mrs. Daniel's surprise if she'd ever really call the cops, and have them turnout to be young leutenants I'd worked with. It was such a tempting fantasy, I almost turned on the CD player jsut to incite that old lady.
"Tempting Fantasy?" I asked my self. THAT was my fantasy? I needed to get out more often. I'd put it on my list. Right under "Solve this crime." I sighed. Afte this case, there'd be another one. And another. Let's face it, I wouldn't be looking at any vacation time in ther near future, OR the far future. I put my notes down on the coffee table; the desk was too filled.
I had meant to clean it months ago, after I had broken a big case. Most of the papers on my desk were probably Xeroxed copies of notes and cas files that I had meant to throw away. I guess "cleaning" would have to go on my list, too. Right after "solve crime" and "get a social life." I was tempted to call Alex and.... ask about her notes. But, it as Friday, and she, being reltively normal, most likely had a date or friends- or even actual sleep- to keep her busy.
I was about to give in and go to bed when I heard Jay Leno introducing his next geust. Or who had been his next guest, three or four months ago.
"Out next gues is ah very nice, very attracive young lady. She has a new movie coming out, KING OF THE RAIN. Please, help me welcome Melinda Parks." I couldn't help wanting to clap myself, as the young actress swiveled her way across the stage. I'm no obssessed fan, but I couldn't help but find the girl- she was 27, wait.. 28, but only looked 19- attractive. Curly blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs and a decent bosom. Melinda parks had, only a few years before, been called one of People's 50 most beautiful. And I can't say that I'd disagree.
I sat back and listened to the California beauty talk about absolutely nothing. I was figuring that I could always sleep the day away, tomorrow. Figuring one thing, but knowing the opposite to be true.
