not very coherent

I feel like ick. Migraine-y thing today. Cancelled some of my lessons and went back to bed.

Lay in bed for several hours doing that thing where you turn over every so often to look at the clock, and see it's 50 minutes later than the last time you looked - but you're sure it's only been 10 minutes, and you're also sure you haven't been asleep because you don't remember falling asleep and waking up again. It's a very odd experience, and not very helpful, because you lose hours of time but don't actually feel any better. So I was wondering what happens. Do you:
a) lie there awake but with thoughts gradually sl..ow...i...n.....g down, so it feels like it was 10 minutes because that's the amount of thinking you normally do in 10 minutes?
or
b) fall into a very shallow stage of sleep, where you're not dreaming and haven't really started resting yet, so you don't realise you were asleep when you wake up?

rollercoaster that is not to be

I think I'm going to cry! I just found out that Alton Towers wanted to build a GIANT wooden rollercoaster for the 2005 season, but weren't allowed to because of planning permission.

I LOVE wooden coasters.
And I LOVE the Cross-Valley path at Alton Towers - and wish it was easier to walk round, and there was an alternative to the cable car that let you see it properly.

omg, just look at the track!! *cries*
