May 7th; Tori tells Time to stick its head in a piano

Dream: I'm at a resturaunt with a bunch of people, none of whom are actually real people....we're eating stuff, and there's a really suspicious guy who's cooking stuff and keeps coming over to stare at us. We leave when we remember that this guy was on the news...he's a serial killer. We go to Madstop and are hanging out and someone comes in, waving an envelope of pictures...and there are a pair of our friends. They've been brutally murdered. And so we call all of our friends, trying to warn them. This guy has a grudge against us, we think. But everyone we can't get ahold of has been murdered. We warn everyone we can find, and a little bit later, someone has a feeling that another friend of ours in trouble. We all look at each other, and say, "Did we forget to warn her?" And that's where it ended.

The Moment CD: from the choirgirl hotel; Tori Amos Book: Freedom and Necessity Outside: let's hear it for the boys! Doing: sample chapters.... Link: The Onion Horoscope: "Later on, a friend will swoop in and make you forget any harshness you experienced. Do not let tequila be his or her accomplice." (damn, my horoscope is against me getting drunk tonight....) Fish tank: maybe some more fish tonight...   {{previous}} | {{next}} archives | home   "6.58 are you sure where my spark is" Tori Amos, "Spark"

Reality: I got some pictures scanned in! now everyone can thrill to the glory that is the people I know. (My, i have some attractive friends.) Here are some of them: Melli and Moni (and Jason trying to hide his face) Doug and Kari Lyfe Smyth Steve Kender and Ahmad The Furfaces Kallisti by himself Juniper in a drawer My next project for scanning is scanning in a couple pictures of baby Kris--including the most godsawful cute picture of me ever taken. I have spaghetti smeared all over my face. It's a classic. I also sent my film off for developing today, so I should get that back by the end of next week. i'm getting the pictures on disk, so those will translate right to the Web. I have a picture of my tattoo, as well as a couple of recent pictures of me. i don't know if those are going to go up--pictures of me almost always look nothing like I actually look. But who knows? It'll be a surprise, either way. I got drunk last night. Not a surprise, really--I had a couple glasses of red wine, watched a movie, took a shower, and went to bed. I like being drunk, which kind of scares me--I don't want to become an alcoholic. But then I realize I'd be the first alcolholic in three generations in my family (a family with a history of lots of fun mental problems), and, frankly, i don't have the capacity to drink enough to become an alcoholic. I do use it to self-medicate (alcohol and caffiene are the Big Two legal drugs i use to get through highs and lows), which is probably an abusive behaviour... but right now, i don't care very much. It does give me fun dreams, as evidenced above. I officially like the new tori album. It's a different sound, but it's definitely still her. There are many rich, tasty textures, some oddball lyrics, and, best of all, lots of songs that I know will follow me into darkness. I'll probably let Shannon borrow it tomorrow, since he's expressed interest. I have an urge just to curl up in bed with my comforter and a book. I'm all sleepy. Serves me right for indulging mid-week. On reflection, i should have just gone home. You see, after lunch a tech support guy offered to install 32M of RAM in my machine. I jumped at the chance. And guess what? you're right. Hard drive slag for no apparent reason. So I have to start all over...download all of my fonts, install all of my programs...I only lost a few things that I'll miss, but it's going to take me a while to rebuild my bookmarks and get all of my work back locally, as well as setting up all of my options again...it took me most of a year to get this machine to the power-user level. Well, maybe I'll take less time this time.
