We are fighting dreamers

I've taken my first steps to learn Hiragana, finally. Hurrah!

Workouts... I've done pretty much nothing. Sigh. I'm not keeping up with Spiritual Hero either... must rebound!

Summer is slowly approaching. Although this season is usually a godsend for guys because of the skimpy wear sported by our opposite sex, I find that it's actually worse for eye candy (literally). The problem is that people often wear sunglasses at this time of year, and thus I can't see their eyes, which is what I usually like to inspect. On the other hand, I do like to wear sunglasses so that people can't see that I'm staring into their eyes like a freak.

How does it feel to feel?

Tony Moseley, the artist of Zogonia (www.zogonia.com) posed an interesting question today: At what point does an adventuring party bring more loot into the dungeon than bring out of? He thinks level 11. If Richard was DMing it'd be level 20 (maybe), but I think for regular campaigns you should hit that threshold at about level 9, presuming you kept all the stuff you were given.

Jump up jump up and get down!

I'm addicted to tests.

How stupid is it? I can't talk about it, I've got to sing about it, and make a record oh!

How stupid is it, won't you give me a minute, just come up to me and say hello?

I watched a Korean horror film entitled "The Wishing Stairs". It's about this mysterious 29th step that appears occassionally (well, all the fucking time, really), and grants a wish to the person that finds the 29th step. It's an interesting concept, and pretty much classic Asian horror, with more suspense and storytelling than actual in-your-face horror. I enjoyed watching it once, but the first half of the movie was entirely about the friendship of the two main girls - that was truely horrifying to watch.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Tekken.

But we only have 24 hours to save the Earth!

Two occurences of note this week:

On Wednesday night I had the worst nightmare I ever remembered having. I apparently screamed "HELP!" clearly in my sleep. Usually when people sleep they mumble and are not clear in their speech... the dream was very real.

I came home from a roleplaying session early on a Monday night, and instead of going up to Nads I decided to play around in the mud outside the building. I slid around, and it was fun, as the mud was so slippery that I managed to glide around on my behind with very little effort. The darkness was a little worrisome but the ease of motion kept my mind on more sapid things. A woman came from somewhere, with stockings, and she was a bit muddy too and walked into the building and I thought it was time to finally go up, and that Nads would be a bit upset at me for getting mud all over my socks. The front doors of the building matched those of my own building, but the hallway layout and stuff was my mom's building.
I entered the elevator with this other woman, and she was averting my gaze, hiding behind her long blonde hair. Our eyes met once during the short ride. There was also a young girl and her mother in the elevator. The elevator stopped on the first floor - I am unsure of whether I knew that - but I got out of the elevator in a hurry as I often do. At that point the little girl started burning this incense and her mother warned her against bothering people. The blonde woman held the door open and started to mutter and chant. I hurried around the corner, out of sight, and walked faster.
Out of the stairs came this brown haired woman with a long nose. She hurried towards me and I tried to run away. I couldn't identify her, and I desperately searched her face for a match with someone I am familiar with. But my vision was blurry and I desperately clung on to the fact that I didn't know if she was a friend or foe. She said "Wait" and I replied "Do I know you?" all the while walking. I almost reached my door. Except as I approached it I realized that I was on the first floor and not the eigth! I fell, weak and she reached me, and started rubbing a rib underneath my arm - closest to my heart. I was paralyzed instantly as she started chanting, and that's when I cried for help hoping one of the tenants of the two apartments near me would help me.

Thank goodness Nads was there to save me.

The other weird occurence is this intense headache that I have. It started yesterday and has persisted through until today. I have never had a headache this bad.... it usually disappears after I sleep. It could be a tumour.
