I had at least 3 dreams about railroads last week (I think I had a couple more, but don't remember the details):

• I was biking home from work, and crossed a railroad track. As I crossed it I looked to the side and saw that there was a train coming. There were a couple of kids on a bike that stopped on the tracks, seemingly oblivious to the train that was coming at them. I yelled at them to get out of the way, and they did, but I then realized that the bike path was also a track, and there was another train coming at them from behind. I yelled at them some more, and was pointing at the second train coming up behind them, but they just sat there and looked at me like they couldn't figure out what I was trying to tell them.
• There were trains that went to school. It was the last day of classes, and everyone was getting on the train to go home. Olsteada was there, and she was crying because the train she needed to get on had already started moving. I told her, 'no probalo, just grab on like this!', and I did, but later realized that that was just the engine, the rest of the train was still sitting down the tracks a ways.
• I was exploring the world in some game that wither I had made or was just familiar with. There were these tracks that I was following, but they were very narrow. The rails were only about a foot apart, and between them was filled with this brown rubber with a groove down the middle. They led right up and down into a hole in the ground. Going down there would take you into some kind of high-tech underground facility, where you would find Kevin Dulli playing on his GameCube. I then went walking with him and some other guys. We walked past the field that is now a parking lot along Flad, and threw stuff into it. Then they all started playing Smash Bros. and it was boring.

Last night I had various dreams:

• In one I was at a show with some old guys playing rock music up on a stage. I went up and sang with them. It was embarassing because I stood up there for like 10 minutes but you were only supposed to for 1.
• I was talking to someone about cat parasites. Some got on me. They were these big, black bugs that would grab your fingers and were kind of heavy.
• I was going down a rocky water slide into a creek. It came out from inside a building and it was night and dark. Someone was talking to me about how Florida was going to be underwater.
• I told Putin that he was a crappy guy and he sent someone to stab me in the neck with a long, sharp icicle.

Non-dream news...

Started playing Shadow of the Colossus this weekend. Fizz played it while he was recovering from surgery and wants to see if I 'go through the same sequence of emotions' as he did playing it.

The strobelights that I ordered from eBay last weekend arrived and I set them up in the basement. Now I can have raves whenever I want :D. Atticus's brother thinks I should be called "DJ Dance Tevens".

I've been spending a lot of time working on TOGoSTree4 lately. You can save your trees to the server, now, and I've added some new parameters to make things like this neat tropical-looking tree possible.
