my dreams = s. california landscape of my childhood + science news


last night i had a dream where i was riding a panther who had horny knobs on its head that i could steer it with. i had to make sure it got to a nature reserve, so that the people in cars wouldn't kill it. we were traveling across all of california to death valley, but it wasn't realistic- it was like i was riding the panther on a parchment map. that was pretty cool. the steering knobs are how i imagine the scientologist energy meter to be! naturalistic-spaceage. the nature reserve looked alot like descanso gardens in la (even though it was supposed to be by death valley), where i went to summer camp for a few years when i was a kid. perhaps a conflation between the nature reserve article i read in national geographic and the picture i put on the blog the other day.

when i lived in cambridge, the only cool thing that happened other than going to the natural history museum was participating in this dream study where i would get woken up in the middle of the night and have to write down my dreams. this was really good because my dreams are normally pretty awesome and it feeds my imagination to remember them. there was a time when i was home for a summer and i slept so much i constructed a vivid dream reality that i actully cared more about than my waking life. it was really awesome, but probably not very healthy.

so maybe i can have a new dream project...

news review:
* the eu has pledged to fill the palestinian donor gap after the dick faced united states refused to maintain funding to the democratically elected hamas government
* featured in today's daily candy (NOT REALLY NEWS!)- maybe i'll get a raise!
* osama likes hugs
* sometimes i feel like the us is like communitst russia- spying, lines, not enough of anything good, etc
* us hates human rights etc.
* scary things lie under brooklyn, i am depressed that the brits are talking about it before i am
* hyperbolic predictions conflating climate change and pandemic disease
* rethinking beavers!

actually, my second dream last night actually related to the beavers article- i was hiding in a sunken submarine and could breathe under water! it was just like the (now extinct) submarine ride at disneyland.
