Really Awake

Weird. I just woke up twice. The first time in the most realistic way in my dream, the way it happens most mornings with the alarm going off and me jolting awake hoping it hasn’t been going for too long, hoping that I’m not late. Again. Well, I had this feeling it had already happened, [...]

Slap My Hand and Call Me Happy

Shoot, I should be writing, especially with all that is good in the world. But I’ve been doing just that, good. Eating, sleeping, laughing, listening, and then heading back to work *grin*
Some things lately:
Had a couple weeks off from the radio. Went up north to see my best friend and my new lil’ tiger friend [...]

Bookishness

Took a short shift at the library last night. With the tight upcoming budget at the county I’m taking time whenever they offer it to me.
I had quite forgotten about Wednesday nights. How there’s time were I’m actually not sending any books anywhere. It’s quiet, less people. Some of my books for school had come [...]

Searching For Potential

Last night I was at the mother of all yard sales. It was dusk. A whole parking lot full of tables and tarps, filled with row upon row of objects. People had started milling about. Picking up items, calling to each other about the potential uses. Looking for treasure.
Funny having this dream cuz right now [...]

Velouria

I woke up before the alarm this morning. This rarely happens.
I lay in bed listening to the rain.
My current dream Older Self was living with past Younger Self. We were occupying a room at the middle school down the street from where I currently live; it’s disrepair reminded me of the house on Apple St.
Young [...]

On Nuclear War and Sex

I had a pre- to post-nuclear bomb dream last night. Figures getting a full night’s rest.
Preparation was investigating a converted warehouse space. The area had steep inclines and lots of usable fire escapes for movement. Across streets and connecting buildings. Right before the bomb hit I moved from where I had [...]

The Wishing Machine

Strange. Dreams last night entailed tons of talking, a flood of language all night up until I woke before my alarm. Notable in that usually my dreams are exploratory, minimal language with more concentration on the visual and tactile. Rather a continuation of before my full Sunday was put to bed.
Reminded me [...]

White Tiger Radio

Last night I had a dream that I killed a white stripe-less tiger with a small blade to the chest, like a paring knife. Probably not the same dream that Roy had.
I’ve purchased a lot of new music lately and will be playing it and more tonight over the airwaves 10 pm to [...]

Fear of the Everyday

The first Nightmare on Elm Street really had the essence of terror down. Use something ordinary, something we can relate to, and then bring in the unknown. Play on it. Distort it.
Dreams.
I’ve seen a few movies lately that remind me how strange the ordinary can be. How truly frightening it might [...]

Right To Opt Out

ugliest scarecrow ever
Fall afternoon light is my favorite. So much so I took the rest of the afternoon off.
Didja feel the earth roll and shake last night? A 4.0. Last month I was convinced I felt the missile testing, too close for coincidence. I woke up last night were I [...]
