intentions for Flipside
Relax.
Be completely offline.
Be mostly sober.

Does all that sound a bit daunting? It could be. But the end result should be evocative ( Read more... ) -
dream of huge trees
The house was pretty much the same as IRL, except in the front yard there had been a large tree that I think was cut down before I bought it (in 2004). I had a memory of deciding to let it grow back ( Read more... ) -
