Irony in the Night

So, for some reason I wake up at 2 AM, unable to get back to sleep. That happens sometimes, to everyone i guess. I lie in my bed for a while, trying desperately to sleep, but around 3 o'clock I figure there's no use. My eyes are wide open. I try to shut them, they glide back open. No position is really comfortable. And I'm so hungry I don't know which basic need to focus on: sleep or food. And it's strange that I'm hungry, because I ate right before I went to bed. As I lie there I figure it must be because I've begun working out. Yup.

So, I get up and fix myself some food and settle down with the laptop to read the news. My internet connection at home has been dead for a couple of days, but now it's back, and I quickly see there's a lot I've missed. North Korea are toying with the big bombs. Google has bought YouTube.

Oh well, the world continues. So, I go the MisticRiver forums (MisticRiver is a web/fansite for various iRiver MP3-players) to see if there are any exciting news in that part of the world. After a little while I stumble across the signature of one guy: "Do you know what it's like to care too much, 'bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch? --Eels - Hey Man (Now You're Really Living)" And this little quote kinda struck me in the right place. Because yes, I know what it's like. In any case, I went to a torrent site and searched for "eels" to try and find this song and check it out (I don't know if I even like Eels), and after a little while the irony was overwhelming. Here are some of the search results: "Kacper Powtaski - Powerful Sleep (Secrets Of The Inner Sleep Clock - Nlp) pdf" - "Sleepless in Seattle (1993) [ENG] [DVDrip]" - "BBC How To Sleep Better Xvid"

Ironic, eh? It seems this search engine also searches for the reverse of your search term (eels backwards = slee).

I thought it pretty weird at first, seeing all those results about sleep showing up. But hey, a lot is weird this night...
