Reavers…

Yeah. Had a horrible nightmare about them last night. I actually woke up scared; sweating, breathing hard, the whole nine yards. That just doesn’t happen to me. Not because I’m super-brave or anything, quite the contrary: because I’m super-boring. Or maybe just super-jaded, but who really cares? It freaked me out enough to make me walk the house, checking locks on windows and doors.

I’m a little concerned about the fact that I’m starting to have really weird dreams that I’m actually remembering when I wake up, but I’ll back-burner that concern for now.

I am so tired of people talking about the "Grandfather Paradox" in such loose and vague terms, especially on the damn Science Channel. It was repeatedly stated, by people that have PhD’s no less, that if you went back in time and killed your own grandfather before you were born you could never be born, thus not make the trip back and kill your grandfather, hence the paradox. Here’s what bothered me so much: it doesn’t matter a whit if your grandfather is killed before you are born. Not at all. It is, however, of utmost importance that he not be killed before your mother or father is conceived. For example, I know people who never knew one or more of their grandparents because the grandparents died before they were born, yet they were still born. See?

To Serve Man is a cookbook, remember that.

No, they don’t relate, move on.

I was supposed to hang out with AmandaC today, but she canceled on me. Poop. Got my laundry done though.

I’m bored. And Xerox is recycling really old commercials, I guess that’s part of their commitment to sustainability, lol.

There’s a nutter out there running for congress who made a really silly commercial about politically correct anti-profiling at airports. I get his point, but I really hope he doesn’t get elected, I think he’s a few bricks shy. Not my district though, not even my state, so that’s on the voters he wants to represent.

Watching Sci-Trek on the Science Channel right now. This one is about first contact. I’m thinking we don’t have to worry about it much right now.

I need to go and do something completely different. Seriously. I mentioned that I’m bored right?

I wonder if I could get a copy of the Voyager records?

I’m not drunk, just free-typing.

Oooo! A resin copy of the Rosetta Stone would look awesome hanging on the wall…I’m such a nerd.

I need to buy more shelves for my place, I’m out of room for my books. Sad thing is I don’t think I have enough walls to put in as many shelves as I need.I wonder if I could safely back shelves up against the couch. They’d serve to partition the room as well as give me space for my books. The thing is I’m going to have to drive to an Ikea store to get them since their shipping rates are so outrageous. That means I’ll need to save enough money to buy all of them at the same time and grab them all in one trip.

Totally thankful for the auto-save feature on OD right now. For some reason my computer just logged me out. All the way out, not just out of OD, but it took me all the way back to the OS X log-in screen. No warning or anything.

Volcanoes suck. Poor elephants… Just laying that out there.

I’m going to bed now. Good night.
