Some random odd musings...

I think I've stumbled across the secret to getting up in the morning! Always eat breakfast! My body wakes up all by itself about an hour before I eat breakfast, because it wants me to search for the precious food I've addicted it to. I'll try never to skip breakfast again!

You know those snakey things you need to walk through before you order your food at fast food restaurants? Do you walk through them even if there isn't anyone else in line? I used to, but now I just skip it. This means I'm old.

I had a weird dream the other night (the polite thing to do at this point is to say "oh yeah? tell me about it", and then nod and occasionally interject). The dream was a normal one involving a bunch of people walking around doing something. At the end of the dream, I saw something in the distance out of the corner of my eye. I turned around and saw a huge plume of smoke shooting up from the ground to the sky. It looked like something very large was suddenly on fire. The smoke originated beyond some hills.

When I think back on most of my dreams, I realize that I'm subtly controlling what will happen next. Maybe I'll worry that the stairs will be rickety, and then the stairs will be rickety. Or maybe I'll worry that my teacher is an alien, and then my teacher will turn into an alien. But in this case, the smoke came out of nowhere, and I was distinctly startled. In my dream, I remember thinking, "what put that there?, not me". It startled me out of my dream-state all the way back to full-consciousness.
