Any dream analysts out there? Been having a number of weird violent dreams lately. Had a nap yesterday, was dreaming about killing people, bad guys. I was on some sort of moutain thing, it was a video game or action movie setting or something. The guns weren't working very well, I'd shoot someone several times until I'd run out of ammo, and I'd have to start with the stabbing. The stabbing would make a mess, but still wasn't working well. I think I eventually had to push a few guys over

So, I guess like everyone else in the world who has an AIM account, I've got these couple of new bots in my friends list.

I figure, what the heck, I'm up for a game of Eliza. Here's what I got:

So, uh.... how's it going?

So, several of you may recall my whining about trying to get used to OS X on this iBook I have. One of the things I was holding judgement on was how more RAM would affect things.

So, a couple of days ago, I got the more ram. I went from 384MB to 1.25GB (256-on board, swapped 128MB stick for 1GB stick. RAM is now maxed out.)

"the future is already here--it's just unevenly distributed." -- William Gibson (So I hear, I haven't researched it myself.)

So Saturday, I'm driving around (see previous JE about where I was driving to/from.) And I see some billboard with an ad for memory cards. And I got to thinking about storage technology.

So, I feel like writing in my journal this evening. Aren't you lucky.

OK, I see none of you know where to find a copy of "So Much love" either. Fine then.

So, I haven't noticed much about the Slashdot change. That's because I'm trying to use a Mac as my daily desktop, and everything has looked different for a couple of days anyway. You may recall the screen on my XP laptop got cracked. While I haven't done anything in particular with that machine yet, I needed a new machine for my web browsing, email and such.

It's violate copyright like a pirate day, right?

Anyone know some place I can get a copy of the song "So Much Love" by Amazulu? I've tried the iTunes, P2Ps, and such... I haven't had any luck so far. I think it might have only been released on vinal? Which could limit the internets availability. I don't think I could even figure out which album it would be on, since you can only buy CDs online in the usual places.

Crap. I had to stop kinda quickly in traffic yesterday, van in front of me slowed down really quick. I guess I was following too close during rush hour, or something. Anyway.

"Sky Rockets in Flight" by the Starland Vocal Band.

Which one of you is responsible for that being stuck in my head? We were having a nice discussion about "99 Red Baloons" and Bam! Skyrockets. Why?

I guess this is as good a time as any to point out that my latest book now exists in physical form.

The best Police song is "So Lonely".

If you don't agree, then you're high. Did you mean to be high? Because you are.

Now that Lucas is done with his movies, has he issued the "sell out, full speed ahead" order?

Yoda does not use the Jedi mind trick to steal some guy's Pepsi.

Darth Vader does not hang out with frickin Darth Yellow m&m. (Darth Chocolate? Darth Goober?)

So, I happened to get the first comment in a front-page story today: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/26/1757221&tid=172&tid=3

I'm laying here, can't sleep. Jeff Beck's "Star Cycle" in my earbuds. It's interesting to listen to. For those of you old enough to remember Miami Vice, Jan Hammer's licks echoing between the two.

I've been sick all weekend, alternating between suffering and taking antihistamines, which knock me out but give me insanity dreams. I'm still not quite well, we'll see how much sense this makes in the morning.

Just got back from having to have the cat put to sleep. That sucks.

A little bit of the story leadig up to this here if you're curious.
