    Morning. Been stuck in freeway traffic for more than an hour with a flakey internet connection complaint. Complaint more; can’t get out of the cab and walk somewhere else. Non complaint: finished all the paperwork I’m carrying. Double complaint: boredom is starting to set in :)

    If I were stuck in a cab with no Net I'd complain too!

    TMI ALERT - you have been warned..

    3:15am and wide awake.  Lay down for a nap at 5:00pm, woke up a little bit ago!  I knew I felt tired, but wtf?!?!?!?!

    Also, nonstop dreaming.  And all really weird dreams, too.  Well, one would qualify as a nightmare but I'm so used to the place I end up it's become mostly annoying at this point.  The middle dream was od but unremarkable but the last one was really strange.

    Nothing less fun than spending what felt like 3 hours being chased around a nightmare living landscape by things that would make HR
     Giger scram and cause Wes Craven and Stephen King to wet thier pants and cry for mommy. The rubbery worm thing with the baby head and huge teeth that came out of a mudhole was particularly unsettling, as was the man made of straw with the hollow head that you could see out the straw in the back of his head. Amazing VFX, though, everything was hyper-real and both eyes worked fine.

    The coolest part was the end of the third dream.  I was crammed into a small basment with a crowd, there was a band of electronic musicians about to do a live jam streamed over the Internet. The thing that I recall so vividly was this one guys audio effect box: it was about a 10in touchscreen with the picture of an ET-like alien face.  Depending on what part of the face you touched, a different effect panel would slide out into the display, where he'd tweak an effect, and when he brushed it away it slid off the screen so only the alien face showed.

    If I still had my health and a job I would build and sell this thing!  Never seen anything like it.  Can someone go and invent this? It would freaking rock!

    I figure I recall about 70% of my dreams.  I kept a dream journal for 15 years, and the more I wrote the more I started to remember.  Sometimes I wonder if that was such a smart move, but now I know how some artists come up with their bizarre and scary artwork... :-|

     

    TMI, i know.

    Was good that nobody get hurt but that freeway is a toll road and whether the traffic is moving or not everyone still has to pay. I guess that is a complaint. On the upside touch wood if the rushes are good tomorrow morning that job can never hurt me again :)

    Elevated road next to the fourth and fifth floors of skyscrapers on one side and the docks and huge stacks of cargo containers and cranes on the other, wireless internet was real flakey and the radio reception was real bad as well.Anyhow the driver had some great Punjabi/Sufi/Techno CD’s and a rockin’ sound system...

    Non Compalint from me as well.  I finally got to see the pavement outside the house for the first time in almost a week.  And I got a grocery delivery.   Driver said they spent Sunday and part of Monday digging the vans out so they could start delivering again, and he had to walk up there to do it.  and Asda is only just over a mile away from here.

    Potk sausage and maple beans for brekkie, heated up nicely in the furnace.  Can't complain.

    Prepping for iced hazelnurt coffee and vodka for tonight.  Weather is decent so I will walk up to the boozeatorium at lunch.  Likely grocry run tomorrow for a few things.  Should be decent.

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    It's a random glitch   they come and go,  You just have to work round them.  Instructions are in most of the threads about the problem, and there are quite a few threads about it.

    34f here right now.  About 45 minutes ago it was 35f.   indecision​  Should be getting warmer, not colder.  Complaint.  We got at least 4 inches of snow overnight, at least.  Maybe more.  I'm not a good judge of depth...snow depth, grass depth, whatever.  All I know is that I wish it were 0 inches!

    Very little snow here.  Just enough to take the glaze off of the ice on the driveway from the last storm.  I was able to dust off the car and get out for my normal Tuesday tasks (2 days late).  Car all parked again and ready for next storm which has already started.  Got my garbage dropped off at the transfer station.  Stocked up on grocery essentials, bought lotto ticket for the week, had lunch at Red Lobster.  Ooh, yum!  Sort of celebrating..., this is the first time in 5 months that I'm not over budget and it looks like I'll actually have enough to put something into savings upon the arrival of my next Social Security deposit.  Knock on wood! indecision  So, if I can keep this up for the rest of the year I might have restored my savings back up to where it started a year ago. Note to self:  "Self, no DAZ bingeing or on-line auction bingeing!"

    Morning. Rising sun splashing orange and gold on treetops and glass-sided towers like drops flicked from a giant but unsteady paint brush :)

    TMI, i know.

    ...wow, I've had some intense and vivid drams like that one very surreal and scary that sticks with me and I can still remember everything.  Also included music but which was created by arranging coloured tiles on the floor in different patterns then a big storm came up and the place we were at (a library) came under attack by spirits. As long as the music kept playing they were held at bay until the ending crescendo broke the storm and everything was fine again.  After the storm abated there was a strange shower of transparent strips of film with words on them fluttering in the air but I remember for some reason, you didn't want to be touched by or touch them.   From there we left and entered a massive set of stone and wood doors that led to a huge hallway lined with various "alcoves" when we heard kind of faint whispering.  When I turned around there was a young lithe black haired girl maybe in her mid teens, with black eyes facing us.  That was when I woke up. 

    I had this dream a several months ago, but still remember it vividly like it happened last night.

    There has to be a story in this somewhere, or at least a series of surrealistic images.

    Non Compalint from me as well.  I finally got to see the pavement outside the house for the first time in almost a week.  And I got a grocery delivery.   Driver said they spent Sunday and part of Monday digging the vans out so they could start delivering again, and he had to walk up there to do it.  and Asda is only just over a mile away from here.

    ...Murphy reigns supreme here.  If you take a brolly with you in the morning when they say it's going to rain it stays nice and dry, forget to take it on a nice morning, and you get caught in a downpour.

    ...sausages and old fashioned rolled oats (not the instant kind) for brekkie here, the latter topped with real maple surple.  Need to walk downtown to Ross to see if they have air fryers though about every 20 minutes there's more wet from the sky and there is a high wind warning for gusts up to 40 mph today.  May wait until Caturday when it will be partly sunny and in the 60s.  Might even hit 70° for the first time this year on Monday.

    ...beginning to have that happen myself too.  At least it wasn't someone walking a herd of anklebiters that tangle you up with their leashes when they start circling around you while yapping up a storm (one of my nightmares).  Not unusual here to see someone walking a bunch of them along the pavement here, all on separate leashes.

    Somebody put fish fry in my tank this morning.  I hope they are still there.  If I was a betting person, I would bet that it was a female guppy who just gave birth in my tank.

    Look out for Sod (Murphy's evil brother). Sod's Law dictates that not only do you get caught in a downpour, but the rain is freezing, and you're also locked out.
