This has been a test of the emergency social media communication system. This is only a test, but thanks everyone for being concerned about me. :)

I've never before had a dream where it was obvious my subconscious was trying to tell me something. (Usually I seldom remember dreams at all, but lately it seems I remember them as often as not, which has been cool for the most part.) Last night though, was filled with dreams of climbing around really sketchy buildings and cliffs with no rope or ( Read more... )

The past few days I've awakened with music stuck in my head. Two days ago, it was the main theme from Muppet Treasure Island. Which isn't too surprising, since it's ridiculously catchy, but I haven't seen nor heard it for months. I can't remember now what yesterday's was, but it was less memorable ( Read more... )

To whom it may concern: Our wireless modem has refused to work since Sunday morning, therefore we have no current access to internet at home, and I'm posting this from work. Felicia's going to try to get it working today, but we will be somewhat out of touch until it's going again, whenever that is. If you need to get ahold of us for something ( Read more... )

She's been picking up a variety of fantasy and sci-fi, and I've enjoyed much of it.

One of the big problems was that laying tile is boring, and since today Felicia is out of town, I felt ( Read more... )

In a short while, my band is playing at a wake for a friend of one of the members. (Felicia made the point "so they really wanted to be memorialized by a punky pirate band?", but I'll leave that aside for now.) It might be due to that and other somber events lately but whatever the reason I spent less time sleeping last night and more thinking ( Read more... )

Since the vast majority of you read bychoice's journal, you already know that we've placed and won a bid on a house. (Yay!)

( My comments on the process: )

Felicia has a habit of referring to reading material left lying around the house as Joel Traps, since I am highly likely to pick up any random book I see and start reading it. Recently, she's even started getting books from the library to leave around the house on the fairly good assumption that I'll read them, and probably enjoy doing so ( Read more... )
