[ This is very intriguing.  Were these guys really monks?  Would it be cynical to wonder whether Sweden's recent recognition of Palestine might have helped things along in the hostage freeing exercise?  I don't know the answer to those questions; I'm just taking some wild guesses here. ]

COMMENT
Just recent things that caught my attention - including trivia I found interesting, or even amusing (eg the Germans going Bollywood video).

Couldn't sleep, even though I'm super tired and sort of cranky.

Lying in bed I kept thinking how detached or alienated I feel from my 'real' life (as opposed to the things that absorb my interest).
Lying between sleep and wakefulness, I felt a freaky floating away, bobbing or elevator type of feeling (like motion but obviously not really being in motion).  That put an end to trying to sleep.  Guessing that's anxiety.

Thought I'd mess around on here to relax and it's worked.  I'm feeling pretty chilled out now.
