the particular “this american life” i’m listening to today is about sleep issues – fear of sleep, sleepwalking, etc. first, let me say that even though i have trouble sleeping when i’m stressed, my problems are no where near the level of these people. and for that, i’m thankful. very thankful.
one man, though, was talking about watching “the shining” and how he didn’t sleep for something like two years (!) after he watched it as a six year old. and the funny thing is while i know i have never seen that movie, i do have a very vivid memory of seeing one scene from it *in a theatre*. for many years i thought i must have seen it as a trailer before some other movie. but, what children’s movie would show a trailer for “the shining”? and especially, why would they show the scene with the elevator doors opening and blood flooding the halls? i wish i knew what was going on that i saw this scene.

Was that the one where Mike Birbiglia talked about his sleep-walking problem and how he crashed through his hotel window near-naked. That story is hilarious.
