7:56 am - Friggin' Dreams
|
So, had this dream this morning. There was an outpost/colony/thing of Tau on earth, present day earth, somewhere in the US, from a crashed/downed Tau ship. They were based in am underground mountain base, not unlike the SGC. There was the standard asshat ambassador/administrator to act as a go-between between the Tau and American Government.
So, there arrived a team of scientists and soldiers, again, the only thing I can compare it to is SG-1, to help fight an incursion of chaos beasts. But I'm getting things slightly out of order.
First, was a group of Tau armored soldiers, closing off a gateway to keep something out. There's chanting, and... stuff, and a nose breaks through the gate. An unarmored Tau, some sort of psychic, tries to read the thing's mind, but can't stand to touch it.
There's some sort of fire fight that I can't see. It was around this point that the team arrived, with a plan to blow up the base, I think, to either destroy the chaos beasts, or drive them off. However, this would kill everyone in the base, as well. The only one with a problem with the plan is the administrator guy, but it happens regardless.
Some how, the chaos beasts have been repelled for a time, and the gate's been reinforced, but it is known there's only a limited amount of time till they make another push. The explosives are planted on the base's reactor core, and counting down. When no one's looking, the administrator ruins it, ranting about how it's all the "SG" team's fault, that they're safe from the chaos beasts, so long as the beasts don't find another way in. I've been there all along in some form, and I point down a corridor, to where a 60's-70's era bad scifi monster is crawling from the ground, and say, "Like that?"
AdminMan goes running screaming... I think. Any way, he's gone. I wander over to a corner, and just sit there. After a time of Tau charging down the corridor, one of our cats comes along, looks at me briefly, then moves down the corridor towards the chaos beasts. Then another cat, and another. Then the biggest, blackest cat I've never seen walks from the corridor nearest me, stares at me, and my niece, beside me, says, "Pharoh's so big, now!" Pharoh being one of our newest cats. All I can think is, "That's not Pharoh." And I find myself sitting at a table, with a plate of something, I think it was rice, and my niece on my knee, who'd not been there, till the catgod arrived. The catgod looks away, and heads down the corridor, and I know it'll be basically okay.
Missing some details, but such is the nature of retelling a dream, I figure. And it's too late to go back to bed, too.

I'm cleaning my room some tonight, in part 'cause I've been meaning to for... a damn long time, and in part becauseI'm getting a new desk for my room, and I need to clear a path to where it'll go. While going through a box of old comics and magazines, I came across an old folder, that contained a family history project, with a few typed paragraphs about my birth day, that I must have dictated and collaborated with my mom on. Among the copied phototgraphs pasted to colored construction paper, is a picture of our old cats, Tiger and Bluey. On finding it, seeing it, I cried, a little bit.
We got them, not long after moving up here from California, and they stayed with us, all their lives, though at least 2 moves, I think.
Then, one St. Patrick's Day, some years ago, Tiger died. My mom and I were just coming home, from getting me at school, I think, and he was strectched out in the driveway, as though he was resting in the sun. I don't remember if I cried then, but I am, now, again. We buried him, as a family, in our back yard, and I cried then.
We moved from that old house a few years ago, and we brought our kitties with us. Hector, Harvey, Bluey, and Neko. Hector and Harvey (Danger), were brothers, my brother and his now ex-wife had gotten at a state fair. They were so tiny when we got them... Harvey's gone now, having left some months after moving into this house. Hector's still around, and is big ole softy, though he might pretend otherwise, with the other cats.
Along the way, we picked up a pregnant Momma Cat, by the name of Cleo, who had two litters before getting spayed. We had kept two from the first, Orange and Cream, as I originally named them. Orange never got the chance to grow up... Accidents happen. Creamy, stuck around, for a few years. Then, sometime last year, I think, or earlier this year, he disappeared. I hope he's okay... Or at least wasn't in much pain. From the second litter, we've got Kiki, who's a silly kitty. And vocal, quite vocal.
Neko was like that, while he was alive. He was a wonderful Manx cat. One winter, at the old house, he had some bad trouble with his hips, and the vet said there was nothing we could do. But, we stuck with him, took care of him, and he was up, and about, and doing fine, by spring.
I don't remember who went first, if it was Neko or Bluey. I think it might have been Neko. If I remember right, he's been buried, down near the patio, where we could bury kitties. Orange's there, too. Bluey... Just went away. I suppose I didn't really want to believe she was dead, but, I can't really deny it, now.
Oh, God.
I miss my old kitties. And it hurts, and I've been crying on and off, while writing this.
I want a new kitty.

11:12 pm - Computer Shtuffs
|
So, 'bout a week ago, maybe, I got the old PC of my friend Brian's. Sans the RAM. That went to our friend Ben. So I now have a 1.33 gigahertz machine with an ABIT KR7A-133R Mother Board. It takes the nice fairly high-end RAM, the DDR333 kinda thing.
And I don't fully know what I'm talking about. I think DDR333 is high-end-ish.
I assume it's an AMD proc, as that's what ABIT says the board is designed for.
It also has a GeForce 4 (something) MX (or however they set that up), but Brian said it doesn't actually work with any games. Which kinda defeats the purpose of hardware accelleration, doesn't it? I'd like to get a new card for the machine, nothing SOTA, but something nice, nonetheless.
And then I'll need a new keyboard, and a new mouse for the machine. Or at least a new mouse. I'm doubtful the new machine has a serial port.

Long time no update, huh?
Life continues, unabated. My chum ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gibelyou is giving another run of his oft repeating first level D&D game, this being the fifth incarnation. At least he's getting a bit better prepared with written materials, now.We even go to use a grid for combat, instead of the fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants method where we use approximations using dice. It works, but it's kinda annoying.
Saw The Incredibles last friday. All I can say about it, is that it is awesome. I'd be willing to pay to see it again. Which is different from being willing to see it again, of course. 'Cause in theory, I'd not have to pay with the latter case.
And now, when the person I'm riding with gets here, I'm off to the Menucha Retreat Center, for a weekend of no bleeding computer access. Oh, and some sorta spiritual retreat, of course. That being the real idea behind the whole thing.

8:00 pm - Debates?
|
I had a thought, this morning, of a way to make the presidential debates more... interesting, appealing, even. Make it a game show. Something along the lines of Jeopardy crossed with Nickelodeon's old Double Dare.
So, the host'll ask them various debate-style questions, regarding whatever issues, but every so often would ask some wholly unrelated, perhaps completely ridiculous question. If they refuse to answer the silly question, or take too long on an issues question, they get pied. Or "slimed". Or something of the like.
If they want more time to go on about a given subject, they'd have to go through some sort of stunt, like they had on Double Dare, or perhaps USA Network's American Gladiators. They get through it, and they get up to, say, five minutes.
No titles of office would be used, if any, they would be only gender specific, such as "Mr.", "Miss", "Mrs.", etc. But using impromptu nicknames would be encouraged of the host, and candidates.
Just why they'd do it, I don't know. Get rid of the debates as they are. Replace them with this new format, which would be open to all candidates, not just the head democratic and republican candidates.
But then, maybe entertainment isn't what's needed from the debates.

Well, here's a pleasant surprise I got last night:
It turns out my girlfriend didn't die. It was a nasty rumor spread by some one who'd gotten access to her MSNM account. They just happened to time it, so that it would co-incide with her going away for a couple weeks... But, yeah, good news, eh?

I don't remember my dreams too often, but I just did.
I, at the least, had just moved into a new house, and gotten a new kitten. The kitten got stuck in something, I think, and for some reason I had to sneak into a neighboring house, and collect a number of small gold ring-things, while working my up through the house.
Entering from a middle floor window, the kitten and I worked our way up, there was one or two flights of stairs, a kids room, a family room type, and then finally a set of stairs that turn halfway up. These stairs gave a direct line of sight to the open master bedroom. I look around the corner, and I see the wife of the family waking, and seeing me, momentarily, before I run.
As I run, I put things that I disturbed back, as best I can. A TV remote here, a long strip of yellow and orange paperr. Then, almost where I entered, I encounter the maid. We both lead, kick, and our feet meet, rebounding. Then I clothesline her, and go out th' window. Then I woke up. And wrote this.

11:26 pm - OMG! I can hear again!
|
|
My brother is too damn cool. I mentioned to him on MSNM that Win2k hates my on-board sound chip, and he offers me a USB sound card/thingy. There was a switch that needed flipping so I could hear anything, but that was easy enough to find once I looked.

Today, was a keen day.
This morning, I went to the college, and spent my time there putting my Mirrodin block M:TG cards into a binder. It's full, now. It's rather satisfactory, as I've not gotten this done on this sorta scale, before. The most annoying part was getting the Fifth Dawn commons into workable order. Freaking booster box, giving me so damn many commons.
Then, Cameron arrived, and we went to see Around the World in 80 Days, and after that, we decided to watch Garfield. Around the World in 80 Days was fun, as to be expected for a Jackie Chan movie, and chock freaking full of cameos. There's a quick one, that I'd swore was Jon Lovitz, but just found out it wasn't. It's the freaking director. But it's a damn fun movie.
Garfield was okay. Bill Murray did pretty well as Garfield, but he's just not Lorenzo Music. And if he was, we'd all need to fetch our guns, to deal with the coming zombie hordes.
And my monitor just flickered from lightning, I think, any way, so I'm getting a hankering to power-down my machine.
