Walking outside my front door in the mornings, I am hardly ever shocked by cold, any more. I am shocked by the absence of any serious temperature change. It's almost as if I am walking into a non-space, somewhere where the climate is so mild, it feels as if there is no climate at all. Does that make any sense?

My mouth quirked a bit into a grin when I saw that the trees were budding up. The grass has been growing all around for a while now, and in places it seems impossibly lush and green. The leaves in the trees are tiny flecks of yellow-green confetti. The air is milder than milk. There is a lot more sunshine these days. It feels good, and necessary.

I am remembering my dreams more often this past week. All last night I dreamt of Halo, and of opposing team members who spoke in English and Japanese, and chased me around the machinery in the Waterworks map for ages, before I finally dodged them all by going up when they thought perhaps I was going down, and I emerged victorious back at the base, carrying the flag. Um. So glad to know that my brain has such valuable insight to purge during sleep.

I've got a fair bit of tension in my right shoulder and right side of my neck. It's doing that thing again, where I can feel a tiny little knot, almost like a nerve that's gone all screwy and bunched itself up, right at a point where there's lots of ambient and literal stress. It's actually making me a little nauseated, at the moment, and I wonder if that's what was making me ill for a small part of this past weekend.

Back when I played Tetris so often and so obsessively that it became my primary companion in life, I used to dream about little spinny blocks falling into nice neat arranged little rows.

It was at about that point that I decided I *really* needed a girlfriend.

I've um, been in relationships and had that very same Tetris problem. Additionally, I've gone into Sims spates where I think about little meters going from red to green as I eat a meal, or take a nap ...

On the rare occasion that I hear a DDR song outside of the game, I mentally run through the (probably incorrect) arrows in my head...

And yes, once while I was hardcore into learning the game I dreamed about it.

Ah ha ha ha ha! Yes, DDR. That, too. Man.

There was this game I adored on the 2600 called Mountain King, and I used to dream about it a lot, cos there was this portion of the mountain that seemed completely unattainable, like some weird glitch, but I wanted to be the cool gamer that managed to reach it. Years later, I see that even now, I'd be too late to do it.

back when i was playing Quake 2 hardcore, i would begin to cast a blocky textured view over everything i saw, even people's faces. It was as if my brain would accept my eye's input and then re-render it in the Quake engine. Many of my dreams were seen this way, even if they had normal non-video game subject matter.

L.M.A.O.!!!!!

Speaking from (*vast*) experience:

It's actually making me a little nauseated, at the moment, and I wonder if that's what was making me ill for a small part of this past weekend.

Quite possibly yes.

Neck pain is bad juju. It can screw up *everything* -- your stomach, your balance, your *vision*...

It might be time to see a chiropractor about that, if you messed it up on your trip.

I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left- err... right side.

And me, with a brain the size of a planet...

I expect to dream of haloness tonight, after our delightful games. We played rex's one-territory on midship, but the big favorite was a little game I made called fists and nades, where everyone has the sentinel beam, and no one is allowed to use it. All fists and grenades. Lockout.

Wheeee!

Those and the foundation / Brute Shot were great training with the new changes!
