Wandering Browsings

This has turned into my favorite quote from Jack Nicholson:

"I only take Viagra when I'm with more than one woman."

Along a different vein, I'm not sure why it took so long, but someone is finally making an adult version of the Sims. Sort of.

Virtual Dreamscapes

02.04.2004

Yesterday I told Jerry of my latest dream. It was one of those surreal dreams involving dogs driving cars, lot's of cars gently wrecking into each other, and Jerry driving us into the ocean.

The part that made the dream stick with me is that it occured in a fictional city that's remained constistant within my dreams. Years ago, I dreamed up a city that was the home of Birmingham Southern and Resgen, with a long bridge that led to Guntersville. About every 6 months, I would have a dream where I was either late for a class at BSC, late for a meeting at ResGen, or had to cross the bridge to get to Guntersville. The layout of the city was fairly consistant from dream to dream, yet I was always running late.

I've wondered if I manage to reach a state of lucid dreaming to where I make the surroundings consistant between dreams. The details of the city have always been the same, so I've got to be doing something.

In my latest dream, we were in the same city, except "behind" the section where I was always running around at BSC and ResGen. It was weird, because in my dream I saw the buildings I was always running to and said "Oh, I know where I am now". That's when Jerry drove down a long, San Francisco like hill and went into the ocean. I hadn't been down that road before, so I didn't know to warn him that it ended in the ocean.

As surreal as the whole dream was, I wonder most why it took place in my dream city reserved for other dreams. Maybe I need to lay off the fried chicken from Publix?

Tribute to Jarvis

02.01.2004

Today begins my annual tribute to Jarvis, that special time known to many black history month. It's also a special one this year, because it has the much ballyhooed leap day, so everyone can get an extra day of black history in.

Of course, this is when I tell Jarvis it's still the shortest month of the year.

Yep, going to hell. That's what I'm doing.

Flash Comic Fun!

01.28.2004

I was poking around the internet (hey, that's a first!) and found a neat little Flash game that appealed to the comic book geek in me. I made a copy of it here so as to not steal too much of their bandwidth - I know what a pain bandwidth theives can be. It's not too dificult of a game, both Jerry and I managed to get all of them.

There's also a 48 pixel superheroine version that's a little more difficult - I never noticed how much the female characters tend to use the same color combinations.

Overall, if you read a good smattering of comics over the years, you'll probably enjoy the little quiz.

Oh! That reminds me I've got to check at the comic store and see if they've gotten that batch of Punisher graphic novels I got them to order...
