Geocities is shutting down

Wow, internet history right there. I have Geocities pages somewhere still active. I think.

In an aside, I'm being very confused by the angles on my desk right now. Need to get the level out and see if this desk is as off as I think it is.

Sleep? Hah. Went to bed just after midnight. Woke up at 2-ish am because the TV was too loud, woke up at 4-ish am due to a not great dream, woke up at 7-ish am due to a bad frantic dream. So yeah. I dislike when not great dreams cascade into bad ones. zzzzzzzzzzzz

Also, I've made a decision. I'm upgrading this machine. I know I've said that before. It just hit me last night that I'm just tired of dealing with a 1.7Ghz Pentium 4 processor I've had since Thanksgiving of what eight years ago?. I'm tired of trying to play movies and getting only a few frames a second, games of low FPS, and so on. It's old. It needs updating. I may have to use the same case for a bit, but hey that's okay. I'd like to do the same to the internets but if only that can happen.

Also: U'Kon Gr'ai. Heee. Was described as a Rikti Gundam. I am amused.

Two things I missed on yesterday's post: first off, Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is rather damn awesome, and second off, I went jogging yesterday for a little bit. That half mile felt like it was two miles by the time I got to the end of it. Need to get better a little more first before I get back into jogging. Guess I'll just walk in the meantime. I walked pretty much two miles yesterday anyways. But I thought I would give jogging a quick try.

And today I feel like crap. Figures. Cold's getting better, just feel like crap. Meh.

Woke up dream-addled and stumbling over to my alarm this morning to find out while yes, I did turn the alarm back thirty minutes, I did not actually set it. Which I guess works out that the weird dream woke me up at 10-ish a.m.

But yeah, those dreams. Annoyingly weird. First one I remember is in a house. We're preparing to leave but first we have to fix food. And there's this big stew pot of spaghetti I'm having to watch. And we have to go! But the spaghetti has to be finished. So I'm stirring this pot of noodles and watching it.

And the next dream is I'm in marching band again. We're practicing and it's the big day of performing. So after practice, we're sitting, talking and waiting around before we're announced. But wait! I don't have a uniform! Where's our uniform at? So I run off to get a uniform. But nothing's fitting right. So they bring out this other uniform and it's a bit big but it fits. Then I have problems fastening the snaps, and hey it's the wrong colors. But that's okay, we're all wearing different colors now! So they won't notice. But hey oh crap! We're late! The band's starting to march out already. So I take off running, hoping I don't bash my clarinet in the process.

That's when I wake up.

Odd-ish dream this morning. One part of it was trying to find something for someone I just met. The second part was almost a gothic building where I was looking for safety from a lightning storm and things kept happening. Floors shifted a bit, things would pop up and scare me and the group I was with. And I slid down to the first floor to find a banquet setting with glasses of water nearby. So weird.

An earlier dream this week was me just driving, driving, and driving. All along a route through a state in the west coast.

My sleep schedule is a little messed up right now, so I'm getting to see more dreams. :> Remembering them is the harder part.
