sweet and dead dreams, in case you were wondering what the title meant.
of course the dead dream, you fools! i’ve long said that the dreams of the dead are our (the living) nightmares. perhaps they transmit their dreams to us as our nightmares, or we transmit our nightmares to them as their dreams. i can’t tell. but i like the idea nonetheless. and the dreams are sweet, of course, because of the sweet suffering involved, as well as the sweet ποίησις by our brains that goes into making these lovely dreams. look at hellraiser… don’t they talk about “such sweet pleasures and pain?” and also… when I was watching Exorcist III last night, the “possessed” killer was talking about how the dead should “stop talking if they have nothing to say.” and one of the other people in the movie was “holding” an imaginary radio, and asked the detective (main character pretty much) if he was the radio repairman. he asked her what was wrong, and she said, “I keep hearing the dead on it.” AWESOME.

spaces between worlds; the void between planes of existence. Cicero calls these spaces intermundia, literally “spaces between worlds,” the small pockets of “void” that Epicurus talks so much about (and thus his student Lucretius does as well). without a learned, trained eye, you have no hope of finding these gorgeous places.

i feel like i’m on another plane of existence.
it’s been a strange couple days, which is always what ends up happening. i’m sitting here, sipping a Guinness (try #2, wish me luck), and pondering all the strange things that have been brewing in my mind for the last two days. my sleep schedule has become increasingly fucked up (Donni remarked today that my sleep schedule has been fucked up “as long as I’ve known you,” lol), and well, the last couple days have been somewhat of a blur as a result of this. hence, I’ll detail wednesday, as well as thursday, as well as today, of course. death to all who stand in my way.

i’m feeling rather mellow right now; eyes, mind, and soul tired. been up since around 06.00, and let the record show that it’s now 16.07. it’s been a rather interesting couple days, what, with fucking up my sleep schedule a bit more and just general insanity. yesterday afternoon was fairly adventurous and interesting for sure. yesterday was just interesting in general. i was planning on going to In-N-Out Burger when I last checked in with all of you, but I ended up deciding I wanted to go to Burger King instead — burgers aren’t as good, but oh well, I hadn’t had it for two months+, so wtf not. before i left, however, I talked to a number of people, Chelsea being one of them (you’re fucking awesome, if i haven’t said that enough), and I did get to talk to Jenn a bit on the phone too, which was nice. anyways, I used Google Earth (yes! a practical use for it!) to find Burger Kings near my place, and I settled on the one at 9th and Irving (I think?), which seemed pretty straightforward to get to on the MUNI.

i have no recollection of what happened after around 9pm last night. i got into bed, ostensibly to ‘rest’ my eyes and take a short nap, but I ended up actually going to sleep that early. since I hadn’t really slept (maybe 1hr in the last 24), it was not unsurprising that I fell asleep. strange dreams last night, but lovely nonetheless i’m sure, if i remember them correctly. i thus awoke around 07.00, completely disoriented, fully clothed (usually i sleep in just boxers), apparently having slept all night instead of just 30mins to an hour.
hence, I got up, deciding to get on the computer. i’d gotten about 50 billion msgs from people in the time i was gone (wow), and well, one of them was from Manda, who I hadn’t talked to really for awhile. i thought I’d msg her back, and well, I did, and we started talking. it was really nice, we had a good conversation — she is really cool to talk to… and I found out that she’s a total gamer girl, which kicks some serious ass. would that more girls were gamers 
I also talked to my friend Jessica too, who is pretty awesome — wow… i just realised… I told her she looks like Jessica Alba, but hotter — I almost forgot her name is Jessica too. lol. anyways, I talked to her and Manda for awhile — almost 2hrs or so, wow.. and well, here I am now. I think I’m probably going to take a shower soon and then go get some breakfast/brunch, whatever, since I’m hungry as hell. perhaps I should go to In-N-Out Burger today, I dunno. I certainly have time for it.
how are all of you? sorry i am not too verbose today. i’m kinda out of it, obviously. ill write more later on — I also have homework to work on, unsurprisingly, so I won’t be around all day of course, lol. i miss you all. and Jenn, I’ll need to call you and all — sorry we haven’t talked for awhile. i miss you and love you.

the gods are on my side.
“i did it, i hit it, i admit it, i never quit it” – souls of mischief, “a name i call myself”
wow, it’s been a long fucking weekend. in the depths of unnecessary terror. friday i did basically nothing. i can’t remember half of it. saturday i think i’ve already talked about. sunday, the day I was planning on actually doing homework — I ended up sleeping in until 16.30. not a smart move, considering my presentation for Aristophanes was due in a little less than 24 hours, with nothing determined except for the line numbers: Lysistrata 636-657. those magic numbers spoke to me somehow, being the antistrophe (what a classicist I’m becoming) speech by the women’s chorus at one point. somehow, even though terror was gnawing at the back of my mind, I ended up zoning out and watching not one but two (count ‘em, two) episodes of “Pimp My Ride” (what a retarded show, but still mind-bogglingly interesting due to the useless gadgets they pack these cars with), as well as part of an episode of “Punk’d.” MTV needs to rot in hell, the bastards.
