A couple days ago, I went nuts and bought about six pounds of almonds. That should last me awhile.

If I described a dream as starting off going to Burger King on the Friday of Otakon, it would be immediately dismissed as boring. And if someone were to describe their's the same way, I'd probably tune them out after five words. I could go into more detail about this one, but perhaps another time. For now, I'd like to say that as a whole it was sweet, innocent, and perhaps a bit silly as well. I knew it was just a dream, and I knew I would wake up before the end, but that's alright, I already knew how it would end, and that it would have a happy ending. When I woke up, that dream had me in a good mood all day Thursday. By now you could figure out that the elements of Burger King, Friday, and Otakon were merely secondary details. That's the thing about dreams, how we describe them is nowhere near as eloquent as how we experienced them. This dream in particular was certainly no exception.

Ever since Studio Ironcat went under, I've been craving for my fix of Hanaukyo Maid Tai manga. As fanservicey as that was originally, it had some story elements cooking. None of the anime series ever resolve some of the questions, and there's only three volumes of the English versions. So! Now I must seek out the Japanese books. If I don't find them at Otakon, I may tag on a request for anyone doing a Bookoff run in the near future, or tag along myself. Failing all that, there's always getting them from Amazon, even though that would entail paying more for shipping and handling than the books themselves. Eh, I'll have this resolved right after Otakon one way or another.

Ok, even though it's Saturday, I'm off to work. Viva la overtime pay!

Hehe... that dream paragraph really hits the nail on the head. I love dreams... but like you said so perfectly, they're just not the same in words and are impossible to convey properly to anyone else. It's too bad there's no way to record dreams and play them back somehow later (I once had a dream about a device that could do this and how it worked, too XD ).

Hm, that would be an interesting contraption. Betcha it would run on dream logic.

Yeah... the one in my dream was kind of interesting. It supposedly recorded which neurons in your brain fired off during the dream, and could recreate it later by stimulating all those neurons in the same order again later.

The interesting thing was that when other people tried to "watch" it, it still fired off the same neurons, but the dream was different to them since people's brains are (obviously) not the same and the neurons stimulated didn't create the same things.

Y'know, I can actually see how that would work, and why using the same sequence on someone else would result in a different dream. Kinda like how Monster Rancher or Vib Ribbon works.
