In my dream last night I had flown into a major airport, where I met up with linda_linsefors and we proceeded to walk through the airport, till we went through a door beyond which we were to show our passports in preparation to go through security on our way to our next flight. I was very aware in the dream that this was one of those airports in which this was a ( Read more... )

In the week since my last post we managed to work on the earth cellar some evenings after work, but others we didn't have the energy to turn on the cement mixer. Even when we did we never managed to do more than one batch of cement in an evening (50 kg before adding the water). Even so, we managed to get the walls to grow somewhat. However, this ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning from a dream wherein I was out for a walk with a bunch of people, but it was so damned hot we all sat down in the shade of a bus stop and quit walking, because we couldn't be bothered moving any more. I could see snow on the mountain peaks looming over us, but it was so hot where we were I couldn't muster the energy to go to ( Read more... )

I have noticed clock poltergeists in my life before (thank you gurdymonkey for giving me such an expressive term for the phenomena), but normally they sneak in while I am working or reading or working on a project and change the clock so that it says some number which claims that far more hours have elapsed than I think. This morning it happened while ( Read more... )

The dream: I had been visiting a friend of mine (who in reality lives here in Milan) in Germany, about a 30 minute short flight north of Seattle. The day had arrived that I was due to fly back to Seattle, where mom would pick me up from the airport. Suddenly I realized that since I was flying RyanAir I needed to print my boarding pass, but my ( Read more... )

I woke up from a dream this morning which I suspect having been influenced by having spoken with my friend, Samuiel, about his work in the very early stages of Obama's campaign ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to a phone call from clovis_, who, being out camping this week at the Falls Festival, is waking up with the morning sun on the tent. As a result I can remember the weird dream I was having. In the dream a small group of us were trying to walk from our cabin to another destination (I knew were we were going in the dream, but I don' ( Read more... )

All I did today whcih resembles Uni work was attending a special seminar on the topic of converting our PhD research into publishable papers. A very useful, and informative session. After explaining the importance identifying a selling point and writing a title for the paper whcih will catch the eye and inspire folk to read it, she asked us all to ( Read more... )

I think that someday I want to live someplace without a street just outside my window. Living on the side of the mountain as I do, in a little pocket of neighborhood surrounded by stretches of woods (or bush as they say down here), the cars tend to drive past at a good clip. Yes, they are meant to slow down to 60 km/hr, and some of them even do, ( Read more... )
