Day off 11:08AM
This day sleep caught me up and even over took me. I went to work for the usual weekly development meeting and showed everyone the Blobby photos. Apparently it had been done before in Scotland and theres a photo of that one up on the web somewhere. Anyway I got to be chairperson at our meeting, joy. Afterwards did a little bit of fiddling about on our website for a chocolate fish (if you feed me right I work for virtually nothing), then went home. At home I was tired so kinda rested in the sun and read a little.
Later on took some chocolate chippie buscuits round to Damians and Kellys, hung around there for a while then came home.
I restrung my guitar tonight. I had broken a string the other day for the first time. Restringing isn't too bad but I believe I'm missing a chromosome or something when it comes to tuning it cause I suck. I play around with it for ages and it ends up sounding worse, I just can't distinguish properly between higher and lower notes. Why God, why do I suck at this so much? I know I had absolutely no music in my upbringing. I refused to play an instrument even though my parents almost (but not quite) forced me to play one. I just didn't want to, now I do and I guess it'll take a bit of practise before I can pick up those notes.
Well working tomorrow is going to suck. I have an urgent problem that needs fixing that I don't want to have to deal with and in general I just can't be bothered. I have just got a new book (Warlock by Wilbur Smith, follows on from River God and Seventh Scroll) and its looking good. I would like to read till the early hours of the morning but then would I want to get up when my alarm went off, no!
Interesting thought for the day:
Can you influence your dreams by thinking about a subject before you go to bed? Eg I want to have a dream where I'm Indiana Jones and I go on lots of adventures. If I think about this before I sleep can I some how make myself dream about it?
I once stuck a pad and pen next to my bed and concentraced on the lotto numbers before I fell asleep in the hope that I would wake up remembering a dream in which I saw that weeks winning numbers and I could write them down. I didn't know if the dream would be accurate or not but I was interested to try it. I never did have that dream though. Maybe tonight..
