Last night’s dream was rather fun. There were three layers to this dream, three areas to which one could travel to by means of one of three passageways. The “top” layer was a flat on the top of a skyscraper, or rather a suite. This is not so much a penthouse suite, but more like a house that was built on top of the building which was smaller ( Read more... )

Just gave my LiveJournal a few changes, mostly in the journal's name and some of the icons. While "Walking with My Muse Under the Dusty Skies of Portland" was a lovely and poetic name, it ceased to be relevant ever since I graduated from college three years ago (exactly three years ago to this day, actually). I'm no longer in Portland and my Muse ( Read more... )

In a seemingly unspectacular way, something amazing happened last night. I’ll get to it, to be sure, but first, the dream leading up to that point ( Read more... )

This dream started out, as best as I can remember, about a book written by Billy Crystal. It was like a humorous autobiography, written in somewhat of the same style as Bill Bryson. The dream began on a bus where Billy Crystal was reading his own book, probably in side attempt to advertise it, and describing what moving day was like with his ( Read more... )

I must’ve had the most disturbing nightmare I’ve had in a while, if ever. The first half of the dream involved me dropping by a house, only to find that it was being used by some Midwestern militia. They had something planned, though I don’t remember what it was. However, in the process of uncovering that I must’ve disrupted their plans, which ( Read more... )

I walked into my darkened bedroom, felt the oppressive summer heat still lingering in the air (spring lasted only a week here), saw faint sunlight still creeping in at ten to eight, and knew that another Monday awaiting me tomorrow. I just had a flashback to my childhood, where Summer Sunday Night Blues were a regular occurrence. Some childhood ( Read more... )

Popping up like a zombie outbreak after a spring thaw, Minerva got hit again with yet another fake anti-virus virus. Same damn thing all over again, though this time it didn't paste an AV software ad that even God couldn't remove over everything else on my desktop. Okay, no problem, I thought to myself. I'll give Norton a few days to put ( Read more... )

I had another Age of Empires-themed dream again last night. Just like the last time, it was based on the first mission of the Egyptian/tutorial campaign, where your objective is to simply gather food and create more villagers. There is such a simplicity to that mission that makes it so enjoyable, I think it's the feeling that when you start out, ( Read more... )

Finally, it seems as though this week-long run-in with a particularly annoying computer virus is over. I knew that something was up when Vista Security Center started throwing up these very alarmist messages crying "Oh, God! Your system has worms, viruses, and trojans up the butt! Your files are doomed! Your personal information is already ( Read more... )

I actually got up before 9 ‘o clock on a Saturday for once! However, this is one of those frustrating mornings where I know I dreamed more than I can remember, and I even momentarily remember what those details were, but by the time I took a moment to organize my thoughts and grab my notebook and pen (which are laying on the other side of the bed ( Read more... )
