Thoughts @ 4 a.m.

All I can think of right now is the sceen from “What a girl wants” where Colin Firth’s character says, “what are you doing up so late?” and Amanda Bynes’ character replies, “jet lag. What’s your excuse?”
Totally lame movie I know. I watched it on YouTube back in the day when I was supposed to be putting time in in the German lab. And my German turned out alright in the end. Eventually.
But that movie is the only movie that I can think of that actually references the phenomenon that is jetlag. As in the reason that I am still awake at 4 am. But movie stars always whisk away to exotic destinations and never realise the truth: Travelling is not fun. Sure. The actual visit is fun. But the process of getting to your destination? And jetlag? Not so much.
If I were in a movie, I would never leave home. Which is why I am not in a movie. Most boring movie ever.

  1. While the phrase “jetlag” is not used, you can see it in The Holiday. I think the character that arrives in California goes to sleep in the middle of the afternoon, joyfully using the remote-controlled blackout windows…

  2. I will be enjoying that phenomina next week when I come and visit you! Ps I am often up at 4 am!!
