I started this post a couple weeks ago shortly after I had this dream. Am posting now because I chuckled.


Earlier this week (a few weeks ago at this point) I had an intense dream. It wasn't a nightmare - it was a stunt. Here's how it went... A few of us* went up into a blimp like thing (except it wasn't a blimp nor was it a small plane). We weren't skydiving - that would be just to amateur for a group like us. Instead we stood on the edge, lit the aircraft on fire and waited until we literally fell because what we were standing on broke due to the fire. Upon which we fell (without any sort of parachute device) into a mostly enclosed body of water. This body of water was somewhat like the Bay of Fundy and we had to time the fall just right so we fell into the water as it was withdrawing from high tide so as to, you know, not die. We would then land safely on our feet (ta da!)

Strange and dangerous indeed. It was all so clear and detailed. It surely did not last long but I woke up with a memory of the orange & red scorching flames burning the aircraft, and the deathly fall which triggered thoughts of my life, regrets, and possible death. Sigh. I awoke exhausted.


*The us was never fully clear to me.

Worthless things you know from work...

How do you evict knowledge from your brain space?

Someone on twitter made a comment about an "i" button (imaginary number key) on the TI-84, wondering when that happened.

Immediately I thought, the TI-82 never had an "i" button. The TI-83 was the first calculator to display an "i" button on the faceplate.

I need help.




Note: TI-82 not pictured. I have one, but for some reason it isn't in the photo.

My Version of a Basically Perfect Day

Today was a perfect combination of productive and relaxing. I hope to have many more days like this.

• I woke and put together a breakfast of coffee, oj, berries & yogurt and watched the Men's final of the French Open which ended earlier than I anticipated so I watched 2 episodes of Peep Show.
• Then I went for a long walk.
• I ran some necessary errands which were mostly boring but included purchasing a basil plant and two tomato plants. I am very excited about this purchase and am looking forward to making Bruschetta this summer with fresh basil.
  
• I returned home and made myself an omelet for lunch while looking around online for farmer's markets in the area, and where to get local cheese, fruits & veggies.
  
• I then went for a swim. It was cool but refreshing and doing laps felt really good.
  
• Back home for a hot shower (first of the day).
• Popped open a Victory Pilsner and have sat down for some quality time with the sewing machine.
