I dreamt that my daughter had a twin that I had never recognised. The twin's name was Eva. I felt so bad because I had only ever recognized the both of them as one person. That was wierd.Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-1139848110833268002006-02-13T08:23:00.000-08:002006-02-13T08:29:49.323-08:00I had a very fun weekend. No date on friday night so I spent more time working on my grad school project. I had been planning to use a video game called "Counter Strike" to build a virtual environment for a training project. But after having some difficulty understanding my degree program at the UW, I've found a professor there who recommended "Second Life". Wow - this looks quite advanced and Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-1139504644727042132006-02-09T08:59:00.000-08:002006-02-09T09:04:04.736-08:00So, now it's a full year since my last post. Very very very much the slacker I am. As bad as my grad school work - I was last in class in 2003! Now I'm in class again, but will I stay? It's like a crazy dream, I'm constantly trying to get help and person A says talk to person B and person B says talk to person A. I guess as long as I'm paying tuition everyone seems sanquine - except me of Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-1105118642584267752005-01-07T09:23:00.000-08:002005-01-07T09:24:02.583-08:00Dudes,
I now have an xbox communicator. It took me all night last night but I found probably the only communicator in Madison.

Anyway, I was in a home with my friends (we all lived together) and their kids. One of the kids had regular spectral occurences that only I was discovering. Radios suddenly turning on, doors opening, etc. At last I was with other adults when the radio in the room turned on. I went into the room and Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-950216912003-05-28T21:19:00.000-07:002003-05-28T21:19:37.003-07:00God, the blogapocalypse is almost a month's old news. It still sucks. I went to Columbus Ohio and had a great time at Marcon - Multiple Alternate Realities Convention. Who would have thought the nerds and dweebs would throw alcohol-soaked grope-fests till 3 in the morning? I had a great time and I'd like to go again. I videotaped just a wee bit of it. Maybe someday I'll edit it into Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-937116802003-05-03T10:47:00.000-07:002003-05-03T10:47:51.030-07:00There is bad news among my friends this weekend. A difficult situation where one friend hurt another. And strangely, it's my belief that a third friend is involved, at least, none of this would have happened if the third friend had not passed a small bit of information to his the second friend in this situation.
The first friend has something to be kept private, a blog.

I've been looking for it for so long. Hey Racketmensch, it runs on mac too. http://www.shatters.net/celestia/index.html.

Interrobang and Racketmensch came by to do laundry last week and the first thing I remember is being told that I live in isolation. That thought has stuck with me and I thank the speaker for launching it. I do live in isolation - in fact, I live in mulitple isolations.

It's great - I hope he puts out for everyone to read.
I want to make a polka out of a Phillip Glass song, but I'm not sure it can be done. Even so, I think I will try.
I watched a show last night about the Savant phenomenon and the researcher who believes it can be achieved momentarily by deadening the part of the brain that suppresses Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-837587592002-10-29T22:53:00.000-08:002002-10-29T22:59:24.000-08:00Last post I figured out how to hide my name - whoo hoo, now I can say anything! So I was all bent out of shape in September and October about finding a romantic partner. Moaned about it on my first blog post. Spent way too much time on the personals pages, signed up for more than one, and started corresponding with all these ladies. I've met two of them en personne, and still find that no Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-836408132002-10-27T19:17:00.000-08:002002-10-27T19:17:59.830-08:00My favorite color is yellow. Not for any particular reason but because it seemed like my signature. This summer I went to a reunion of my mother's family in the southwest corner of the county. It was at the church I went to as a kid. I left the party in the basement and went upstairs to the main part of the church and what did I see, really for the first time? It was yellow, all yellow.

Racketmensch broke his foot today. I saw him standing just 6 feet behind my desk before he went to the doctor and I didn't even say hi. My job is sucking everything out of me - it is so stupid, the projects just get stupider and stupider and it's draining anything good left in my head. Now I'm late for polka and I still don't have any clothes on.Metalloudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15119177310252080195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3844924.post-828627002002-10-11T16:08:00.000-07:002002-10-11T16:08:06.923-07:00So much weirdness. Racketmensch in a fog - fog accident in sheboygan. I have a date Saturday night, but it feels like a chore. What kind of discontent is that? And so indulgent.
