Two unrelated things.
1) I have decided to add some pictures. I've tried to gather up decent shots of people who are mentioned now and again. A lot of said shots are physical photographs, however, and must be digitized before they can go up. I also have a bunch of candid shots that were taken by L and give to me, but they're in the same situation: need to be scanned. For the record, the soon-to-be-numerous pictures of me doing stuff do not mean that I am a total narcissist, it is just that a) when the other person is the one with the camera, you tend to end up in the majority of shots, and b) I do weird stuff all the time, which apparently according to some system is worth preserving in film. (I assume that this system is called "blackmail.")
2) I had a dream where I realized it was a dream. I was not able to really do anything interesting, but it had never happened before. The problem I encountered in trying to have a proper lucid dream, however, was that while in real life if you do no will yourself to do something (and often even if you do) you will just sit on your lazy ass by default, this is not the case in dream world. When I stopped to consider what ought to be going on now that I had acheived something like awareness, I found myself going on dream-nonsense auto-pilot. I think I curled myself in to a hoop and rolled down the stairs when I had meant to be thinking "what now?" That doesn't make a goddamn lick of sense, but dreams rarely do.
