Someone once accused me of being media-demanding. At the time, it just made me giggle because I just thought that the person was being cute.
The more I think about it, however, the truer it seems. It was emphasized last night when I crashed at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rosefox and sinboy's apartment while they're away in order to be here for the bed delivery today. As someone who is constantly late [Je suis toujours en retard] I was panicking about sleeping in too late tomorrow, getting here after noon and completely missing the delivery men.
Anyway, I arrived here at around 3 am after a night out celebrating Dan C's 30th birthday, and I figured that I'd watch a DVD (Ghostbusters) as I fell asleep on the couch. Of course, the PC didn't have a DVD drive. So, I downloaded something from iTunes to watch. Realizing later that the computer didn't have speakers. There are speakers on the other side of the room, but... cable... too.. short!
What I wouldn't do for my little mini-speakers! Or my laptop! Precious Renegade, why did I leave you at home?
Undeterred, I found a copy of The Beatles One and put it on repeat. Why, because I can't sleep in silence. I *need* media. To sleep! It's gotten so bad that I often fall asleep during movies that aren't bedtime movies because my brain goes "Oh! A movie! Time to turn off!" [which is often a blessing considering the theatre fare I've witnessed of late].
I'm reminded too of our Stitch & Bitch at Danielle X's house, where we chatted, crafted, listened to music, and also had Boogie Nights, muted, on in the background. I wonder, can people do anything without multitasking these days? I remember it too as being something that my Aunt Margaret complains sorely about. Is it possible to just enjoy one thing at one time?
And does it mean that I value the movies that I watch less because I'm just falling asleep to them? Does it make my sleep somehow diminish?
This kind of mental rambling is what happens when you listen to The Beatles One for several hours straight, whilst waiting for the mattress/bed delivery guys. I also appear to be unwilling to exert the effort to see if I can print articles for my Evolution class onto the printer here from this machine. Not unable, unwilling.
I only wish I could read and needlepoint simultaneously!
