so the other night i had a dream that i was murdering two people. that sounds very scary, i know. but it wasn't anyone i know (that somehow makes it better). i mean, i guess i knew them in the dream, i think i had a good reason for killing them. anyway, so i decided that i'd look up "murder" at dreammoods.com. "To dream that you have committed a murder, indicates that you are putting an end to an old habit and your former ways of thinking. This could also mean an end to an addiction. Alternatively, you may have some repressed aggression or rage at yourself or at others. Note also that dreams of murder occur frequently during periods of depression." okso, i hope i don't have any repressed aggression or rage. and i hope i'm not depressed. and i know i haven't been addicted to anything. so i guess my dream of murder means that i've put an end to an old habit and former ways of thinking. huh. i wonder what that was... anyway. so it also said to look up "killing". "To dream that you killed someone, forewarns that heavy stress may cause you to lose your temper and self-control. Identity the characteristics of the person that you have killed and ask yourself if you feel any rage towards this person in your waking life. You may be expressing some rage or hatred toward this person... This dream may also represent a part of you or your life that you wish would leave you alone and stop creating a nuisance. Killing may represent the killing off of old parts of yourself and old habits." ok. well, i'm hoping that i'm not heading for some sort of heavy stress. and i don't know who these people i've killed were, so the characteristic thing doesn't really apply. hmm.. then we're back to the habits/old parts/ways thing. i must've recently changed my ways of thinking about something. cause i'm not sure what habit i might have broken... anyway. disturbing to dream that you're murdering people...

i love "pearls before swine", it's one of my favorite comics... this strip from 2 sundays ago really cracked me up. "you're hogging the nut, bro"

every sunday my dad, my brother, and i rush to try and get different parts of the paper before the others. the comics are an obvious choice, as are the circulars for circuit city, best buy and compusa. but the other thing that we always like to read is dave barry's column. his column is almost always hilarious. dave has a blog where you can get a little bit of dave's humor just about every day.

i quite enjoy dave's blog, and today i found a random link from there to rentmychest.com. very disturbing.

like stick figure death theater? (i do)? try blockdeath.com. a gallery of lego deaths (and you can even rotate 'em).

so hella annoying. they're using a new proxy server and it blocks webmail. i can kinda still access my hotmail, but it's really annoying. every other time i try to send something or switch to the main screen on the inbox it tells me i can't. suck. so it's just so annoying that i've abandoned trying to access my hotmail at work. suck. i guess i'll have to goof off in other ways... ;)

so i just called this woman's home looking for her and i was told that she wasn't there. so i said i'd try her at work. then the person on the other line said, "can you have her call home? i need to speak with her." people are unbelievable. i can't believe she'd ask me to do that... you can't pick up the phone and call your friend/mother/relative or whatever at work? anyway... i called and got her voicemail... i didn't tell her to call home, 'cause i felt so weird about that.... "... oh, and by the way, call home, they're looking for you..."

annoying as sin: my roadrunner is periodically not working. irritating. it's always easily fixed by unplugging and plugging back in the modem. i haven't researched this at all, but i wonder if my modem is having issues or if it's the service. if it's the modem, i'm having them bring me a new one (oops, then they'll see how i've split the cable... damn... oh well...). anyway, very annoying. (almost as annoying as how freaking loud my computer is. i have to turn it off now just so that i can go to sleep in the next room.)

i was just watching true life: i have a phobia on mtv. they were following 4 people who had fears so irrational they avoided common situations that they knew weren't dangerous. now, i understand what that's like. i am definately aracnaphobic. but they had 2 girls on there that i just couldn't help laughing at. one girl was from brooklyn and she was terrified of cats. she was describing how a cat would come up and try and sniff you and rub up against your leg and it was just grossing her out. then her boyfriend meowed at her and she flipped out. and it was just insane to me. another girl was afraid of midgets. afraid of midgets. she was terrified that they were going to grab her knees or something. that is just awful. i kept laughing at these girls. then i thought, i wonder if people think that my fear of spiders is that insane. but really, come on now, spiders are just so gross. i mean, they're all creepy and nasty with their eight legs and they're evil. they're just evil. ick. oh god, i've probably jinxed myself now. i'm gonna find one in the bathroom or in my bed (EEEEWWWW!!!!)

so i've been watching i love the 80s on vh1. it's so addicting. the episode i'm currently watching is 1980. soreally, i'm too young to remember most of this. but they did cover strawberry shortcake. the best part of this series is their little cutins with famous people reminiscing. (that is probably nowhere near spelled right). they keep cutting in with mo rocca who does bits for the daily show. he's hilarious in his straight delivery of absurd comments. yeah. this show is completely addicting, and unfortunately, it's on all night tonight. yeah.

(so just so everyone knows, sierra mist = sprite)

so last night i went shopping after work (and i didn't end up running into anyone from the past that i didn't want to see as my horoscope said i might) and i got a red jacket at macy's for $24.98. rock. it's all warm too :) anyway, that really wasn't what i wanted to post about.

soyeah. so i drove home and i was really dead tired and i didn't want to park all the way at the end of the row of cars that was there because i would've had to walk far so i kept driving and there was a small spot near the pathway to my apartment building. so i decided to go for it 'cause i have a small car. soyeah. so i started the parallel parking process and i started sucking at it. really, the spot was big enough for my car but not really big enough to comfortably park in. so i had to keep turning the wheel and then moving an inch and turning the wheel and moving an inch. it was beginning to feel like that scene from Austin Powers when he's trying to turn the golf cart around in the hallway and it's just not big enough... soyeah. so finally i get the car in the spot and i look to my left and realize that i'm way to close to the snowbank to open my car door. so i think, you know, perhaps i should abort on this spot but then i realized that i was pretty much stuck in the spot and i'd have to hope that the person in front or the one behind me leaves before me in the morning. soyeah. so i realize that i'll have to climb out the passenger door. not an easy feat in a saturn. so i lean my seat back and undo the automatic seatbelts and raise the steering wheel and look around to see if anyone's going to see me climb out of my car. and just when i'm about to climb someone goes running by my car. scared the crap out of me. and then i started giggling because i'm just so weird and i can't believe i got myself in that situation. soyeah. so i try to climb out and my foot gets stuck at first (damn my long legs!) and i finally tumble out the passenger side of my car, laughing hysterically.

so this morning thankfully the person in front of me was gone and there was no one outside to witness my stupidity as i climbed through the passenger side of my car (yeah, and at first i forgot to grab the door and close it, so i was in my driver's seat and looked over and the door was open on the passenger side so i had to perform the climb all over again. yeah, i rule.

so, just so you know, the vatican says it's ok to read harry potter.

so this article states that some people may need more sleep than others. ok, that's not surprising. but what is surprising is the fact that having too much sleep can cause health problems just as having too little sleep can. you know, i slept for 12 hours saturday night, and i felt so shitty sunday morning. i think it's because i normally only sleep 8 hours and then i'm up...

yeah. so they did this study in the article where they had people stay awake for 40 hours in a room where there was no indication of time. wow. i wonder if they had them in there together, or if they were in individual rooms. how frightening... can you imagine? i think i'd go insane. and i think i'd rather be alone in a room. i can't imagine having to deal with other people when i'd been up for 40 hours and had no idea how long i'd been up or how long i'd have to stay up... i think the other people would be in danger...

hmm... i wonder if my computer died. i remember that it was on when i left the house this morning (sorry neary, i just admitted that i'm not home right now, i know, i shouldn't do that) but now when i look at my page the webcam doesn't seem to want to load. and the miniblogs on the top aren't loading either. dammit. i bet my computer died. suck. argh, that'd suck. like, a lot. dammit.

so i need a new computer. i'm thinking i'll get one offa ebay (that's where i got my current one, and really no problems for 3 years) or i'll get a barebones kit from tigerdirect.com. i like this one. I wonder if I could get it in blue or red instead...

so so so cool!!!

so i was sitting here at work and i'm bored because i don't want to do my work that's here for me to do and i've been listening to metallica and so i went to their website to see when they're touring 'cause i heard they were going to tour and i went to their site (i already said that) and i found out that they're playing in dublin on Aug 21st! rock! beck and i were planning on going to ireland in august (k so we were thinking of going that next week or the week after but we can move it up)! ROCK!! METALLICA IN IRELAND!!! ROCK!! so excited :)

i went to the store last night and i bought bananas. i can't tell you how excited i am about having bananas. i also remembered to get cereal and milk. rock. i rock!

that was a pretty meaningless post. i mean, who in the world cares if i have bananas or cereal? perhaps it will bring my parents peace of mind as they know now that at least i have some healthy food to eat.

i'm just really bored at work. now, it's not for lack of things to do, because, damn, i'm busy, but i just don't want to do the work. suck. i can't wait to go home...

so here's my horoscope for today: "Travelling somewhere with a friend could lead you to encountering a person from the past whom you would have rather avoided. Best to stick close to your buddy's side and get home early." Ew. How much does that suck? I've been having these random dreams lately where I've run into Tim or that he's called me or something. Right before I checked my horoscope, I agreed to grab dinner somewhere with Dodi. And then I checked my horoscope and it said that if I go somewhere with a friend I might run into someone I don't want to see. Great. Yeah. Oh well. If I do run into him it's ok. I'm fabulous and he's not. I rock. :)
