New computers, new camera, pterodactyl spit - 2008-03-17 13:39 - Entry 1025 - TOGoS's Journal

On Friday I got out of work early to go buy computers from the UW SWAP in Verona. Joh drove us, and we listened to System of a Down, and it was a fun adventure. I bought 4 computers (30$, 45$, 145$, and 150$) and some cables and keyboards. Atticus bought one of the 150$ IBMs like Joh had gotten a week earlier.

We dropped Atticus off at his parents' house, since he was to stay there all weekend and watch the place while they were gone.

After we got back home I took off to go play the MyInnerView game with guys from work. Then I left to go hang out with YC, and stopping by 319 again, found that Atticus had come over and everyone was playing Dragonball Z and being disappointed by its not completely awesome gameplay.

We went to visit my parents on Saturday evening and I picked up my new Canon A570 IS. It takes much better pictures (especially in low light) than the Kodak EasyShare C300.</advert>

The rest of the weekend I spent hanging around 319 setting up my new 30$ fileserver in the basement and playing Pikmin. It was kind of lonely, since nobody was around except for me and Potts. Atticus was at his parents' house, Fizz went to New York, and Joh was way over on the west side, working.

I dreampt that I was moving. There were boxes of stuff piled as if in a warehouse, and I was gathering them together and then carrying them down into this tunnel that led towards the new place. There was a point along the way shortly after I climbed out of the tunnel and had to cross a grassy isthmus. The ground was actually pretty uneven and muddy, and I wandered into a pterodactyl nest. The pterodactyl on the other side saw me and started spitting globs of yellow/green stuff at me. It stuck to my legs and started burning and itching like crazy. I was trying to jump out of there, into the lake, but I seemed to be stuck. Someone had warned me about this, earlier.

In a different dream I was sleeping at my parents house, dreaming about moving and wandering into pterodactyl nests, waking up once in a while to pet the cat (nobody else was around last night, so he only had me to sleep on). One final time I woke up and looked at the clock. It seemed a reasonable time to wake up, but it seemed to light out to be 4:00. My parents came in and told me that I had just slept for 18 hours. I was missing work without having said anything. I was afraid that Adam was going to be pissed at me.
