As I said, there are some elements of my dreams that reoccur a fair bit, meaning that they tend to stick in my head.

I wish there was some way to record dreams.  Surely if scientists stopped trying to figure out the very best way of making a cup of tea, or solving aids or world hunger, then we could have cool stuff like Dream Recorders.

The almighty BBC says this today:

Leading Charles Dickens biographer Claire Tomalin has said children are not being taught to read with the attention span necessary to appreciate the novelist's works.

Tomalin said Dickens's depiction of an unequal society was still "amazingly relevant", ahead of nationwide celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary ( Read more... )

On Saturday, Mecks and I travelled down to Brighton to attend the prerelease of Dark Ascension, the next part of the Innistrad block of Magic.

We had time for a REALLY nice fancy breakfast at an Itallian cafe.  Breakfast (with tea and juice) for both of us was just over £21. Expensive but delicious!  We also had just enough time to deliver Reds ( Read more... )

I t seems that the guys at City of Heroes (I refuse to spell it Heros) are producing content faster than a bunch of randy Tribbles.  In the last few months they have been working on a lot!

The ‘Who will die?’ story arc has been expanding, with the death of Statesman’s daughter and the revelation that Statesman will be the one to die.  This will ( Read more... )
