Today has not gotten off to an auspicious start. For starters, woke up far too early thanks to a very weird, short dream. I dreamed I received my package of DVDs, but instead of what I had purchased, I instead had received 1 unknown DVD and two VHS tapes of Frankenstein's Bride and The X-Files. I woke up thinking this was real and felt very freaked and annoyed for quite some time. The real DVDs have not arrived yet. Hopefully it wasn't a premonition.
Also compounding the sense of doom today is the headache, made worse by the banging and vacuuming and barking of orders downstairs as we clean for Thanksgiving. I tried to rescue the box of video game things from a fate of damp and deterioration being stored in the garage without a lid on the box, but mom was adamant everything must remain in the place she puts it.
And to top it off, when I turned on my computer today, it made a Horrible Buzzing Noise, the kind usually associated with Hard Drives Being Eaten, but thankfully it was just a sticker caught in a fan. It took unplugging everything, hauling it all downstairs to a workable surface, and 15 minutes meticulous checking to discover this though. Ugh.
I'm really rather hungry, thanks to the smell of cornbread cooking. Gee, I wish that stuff was edible. A nice slice with butter and sorghum sounds perfect.
