ok....it's friggin' late....who is still awake and why?
i had to get up to take the dog out for her evening walk...something i usually do much earlier. i had a bad headache, so i took some ibuprofen. i noticd there was loud music coming from up the road...probably the chicharone place. i was gonna walk or drive up there to see what the party was all about and then decided against it. now, i can't get back to sleep.

3. I'm an insomniac.
Plus I managed to fix my "Where the Buffalo Roam" DVD (which came used & fucked up with my Maxwell CD repair kit). So now I'm watching that and having a glass of wine.

5. Where the Buffalo Roam?
Is it a documentary, or movie, and what is it about?

14. No. It's sort of a bio piece whereas "Fear & Loathing" is based off an
actual book (which is crazier than the movie). "Fear & Loathing" is allegedly biographical though. I can't wait until they make the "Rum Diaries." The most biographical movie on HST is "Breakfast with Thompson." I haven't seen it yet, but it's an actual documentary starring Thompson.

18. If you want to see a real HST documentary...
http://www.breakfastwithhunter.com/

"Breakfast with Hunter is a feature length documentary starring the infamous outlaw journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Edited by director Wayne Ewing from cinema verite film and digital video that he shot over many years on the road with Dr. Thompson, Breakfast with Hunter follows several story lines in the trials (literally) and triumphs of this cultural icon who created his own genre of writing - Gonzo journalism.

The film chronicles Dr. Thompson's successful attempt to avoid being placed in the system - jail and/or rehabilitation - by rogue Aspen City cops that conspired to bust him for drunken driving on the eve of an important local election. This political story interweaves with his struggle to bring his book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" to a proper life as a feature film starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. The cast of characters he meets on his odyssey, in addition to Depp and Del Toro also include songwriter Warren Zevon, actor John Cusack, artist Ralph Steadman, and fellow journalists George Plimpton and P.J. O'Rourke."

I haven't seen it yet, but I've ordered it.

I'm going to try to read later, but somehow, I don't think that's going to work.
