Top Gun

It's one of those nights again. 5 in the morning here and I don't feel like sleeping at all, though I havn't taken a nap all day. Every now and then it hits me pretty hard how far away from home and everything I know and love that I am, and even though I'm about 2 weeks away from seeing it again, there are 4 papers in between me and that. Even now it's bothering me that by sleeping late I'll end up sleeping most of tomorrow and not having enough sleep, which will affect my study plan tmr ... ... Fuck that.

I watched Top Gun earlier tonight. It was one of my favourite films as a kid, though I never actually understood the story and all. That along with Flight Of The Intruder, which went even higher above my head as a child. Kinda sad though, that nobody makes movies about fighter planes and pilots anymore, nor are there any good flight simulator games going around. Doesn't every kid dream of being a pilot at some point in his life?

I also won $30 by coming in 3rd in my weekly poker game on Sunday, which in all honesty didn't mean that much to me. It proved to me once and for all that money isn't the reason I play these games, but it's the thrill of the game that I'm paying for. Oddly enough I walked away with the money feeling slightly annoyed at myself for having gotten so far while playing like a scrub. But yea, it's nice to know that I'm not lying to myself for once. Seem to have been doing alot of that over the past few years.
