It is not going to be a pleasureable bidness, as I need to get my wisdom teeth out.  I dislike doctors, and dentists (who really want to be doctors, but prefer the cushy non-dangerous path of futzing with teeth).  The last time I was at the dentist, he wanted me to come back to have the teeth out, but I didn&#8217;t need to &#8211; now I have to&#8230;somehow I was hoping I would be able to skip this irritation.<\/p>\n<p>I know from personal caretaking experience that having them out is not fun.<br \/>\n<lj-cut text=\"In other news\"><br \/>\nIn other news, for those who care, they are now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pantagraph.com\/stories\/031604\/new_20040316021.shtml\">totally unsure<\/a> wether to run with the sensationalism of having a 10th planet is worth having to reprint all them schoolbooks.  This is not a new occurance by a long shot, I just hope all the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.detailshere.com\/niburu.htm\">Niburu<\/a> nuts can keep thier shit in a sack, given the ice-age timing of this new one. Good linkies here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/sci\/tech\/3511678.stm\">BBC<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2004\/TECH\/space\/03\/14\/planet.discovery\/index.html\">CNN<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/vision\/universe\/solarsystem\/planet_like_body.html\">NASA<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.spitzer.caltech.edu\/Media\/releases\/ssc2004-05\/telecon\/\">Spitzer infro from Caltech<\/a> (looks like this went down to to hypelinks prolly)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/scienceworld.wolfram.com\/astronomy\/Chiron.html\">Some backhistory on Chiron<\/a> (the last time something this &#8220;big&#8221; happened)<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>I have ben playing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/xbox\/action\/princeofpersiathesot\/\">Prince of Persia<\/a> for the past week or two.  Thank goodness for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamefly.com\">Gamefly<\/a>, because as entertaining as this puzzle filled lame-storyline has been , it has 0 replay value.  I also have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/xbox\/strategy\/wrathunleashed\/index.html\">Wrath Unleashed<\/a>, which is a pretty inventive combonation of risk, chess, and a simple arcade fighting game.  Unfortunately, the peice sets are too similar amongst the 4 possible teams you can play from, and the play control in the arcade section leaves me frustrated sometimes &#8211; all in all a great concept game, but the execution has left me wishing it had stayed in development\/QA a little longer.  Both are going back once I finish PoP.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>I just lost a heap of shit because my Semagic is broke at home, and preview makes it crash.  Fucking technology.  I will try to re-capture what is already gone:<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>I managed to get 0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gothamist.com\/archives\/2004\/03\/09\/beard_papa_on_the_upper_west_side.php\">Beard Papa<\/a> cream puffs this weekend, despite my intense desire to do so.  Hopefully I will get some this weekend, cuz I shure as shit know I won;t have the time this week. When I spoke to a coworker of mine about it, he rather fliply commented : &#8220;Oh, that&#8217;s on the UWS, I&#8217;d never go there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What gives?  I mean, I am traditionally an East Side kid, but there is shit all over the island, and the outer buroughs &#8211; fuck all over the world.  Why the hell _not_ go somewhere because it is not easily accessable from your local n\/s subway?  This is my strongest Harlem naysayer, and the person who has razzed me the most about my recent habit of walking to work&#8230; I guess I shouldn&#8217;t be too surprised.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Also on the burner, my recent spate of zombie dreams (which has been for about 2 months now) is growing sharply more acute &#8211; I may start a dream journal up just so I can start sifting for details. While atrociously detaild dreams of a horrible nature are not exactly a new thing for me (indeed, they are a major contributing factor to my once-acute insomnia), I have never had to deal with them in such variety and intensity. Each night is a new dish of flavors, and I have yet to have a recurring one (which is my subconscious&#8217; usual MO).<\/p>\n<p>It is a problem which is becoming chronic, and to me, that means I am going through another dream-state metamorphasis.  While many of these dreams don&#8217;t qualify for an all out nightmare, they are all graphic, disturbing, and freaking intense.  Another depoarture from my normal cycles is the individual uniqueness of each one.  I have trained myself for a fairly high dream retention ratio in order to help delve.  I can safely say that many of the negative dreams I have are fractal shards of the same cycle &#8211; certain things my brain worried like a dog trying to get to marrow, yet never quite gets there.  I, of course have &#8220;new&#8221; dreams interspersed, but they vary greatly on subject, length, detail, and emotion.<\/p>\n<p>All of these dreams have been dark, most have involved people I do (or once) loved.  Sometimes I am a victim, sometimes a zombie, sometimes a last-stand-man.  Sometiems I am the stranger amongst others who are a close knit.  Other times it is my knit taking the risk of a new member,   I&#8217;ve gone through all sorts of wierdess. It is like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houseofhorrors.com\/romero.htm\">George Romero<\/a> hijacked my brain. I guess I would mind a whole lot less were I exposing myself to the genre somewhat &#8211; I haven&#8217;t even seen a zombie movie in who knows how long!  This is definitely not a theme that runs from real life at the moment (definitely not within the frame of the dream cycle).<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Watches <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinkfilmcompany.com\/SpellboundMovie\/\">Spellbound<\/a> last night. Heartbreakingly entertaining.  I suggest it for any word geeks\/spelling nerds out there.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>So yeah, between software upgrades, new people, new hardware, major deadlines, meetings, and general chaos, I&#8217;ll be lucky if I pull less than a 12 hour day today.  If you don&#8217;t hear from me, it is not because I don&#8217;t have something stupidly witty, or refreshingly annoying to add to your little corner online, it is because I am breathing through a straw to keep from being o&#8217;erwhelmed by my work.<br \/>\n<\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>happy b-day !
