Whenever she’s waiting for me or Mike to take her for a walk, or to feed her or just in general need of our attention when we are unable to give it to her at that very exact moment, she gets so frustrated that she begins to lick the wall, or any other large solid object within her reach. I wonder if this is the equivalent to the human idea of “pulling your hair out”.

A lot of these are obscure horror movies from other countries, but they all sound worth checking out:

  • House of Wax
  • Undead
  • Unholy
  • Devil’s Rejects
  • High Tension
  • The Cave
  • Land of the Dead (go Romero!)
  • Altered
  • The Descent
  • Night Watch

That’s all I can think of right now, but I’ll be adding more as I hear of them from Arrow

So I decided to look up some quotes about sleeping. Here are some of the better ones:

Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care
The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath
Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,
Chief nourisher in life’s feast.
~William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Dawn: When men of reason go to bed. ~Ambrose Bierce

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book. ~Irish Proverb

Sleep - those little slices of death, how I loathe them. ~Edgar Allen Poe

Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. ~Author Unknown

There is no snooze button on a cat [or dog] who wants breakfast. ~Author Unknown

Insomnia is a gross feeder. It will nourish itself on any kind of thinking, including thinking about not thinking. ~Clifton Fadiman

Sleep is a symptom of caffeine deprivation. ~Author Unknown

Personally, i agree with Mr. Poe - I hate sleeping, but it’s something I must do, so when I finally settle down to actually partake in a “…little slice of death” , I’d rather just get to it and get it over with, not lying there thinking about trying not to think. I suppose that could be a good thing, a sign of an overactive mind.
