So I had this really crazy dream this morning, or last night. Something.

I get a call and the phone only rings once. It was pretty late at night (or so I though) so I call back Sergei on my cell phone. It rings quite a few times and then Sergei picks up, but he is talking to Eugene:
“Not in my Russia” Eugene states. Though I remember finding it odd that I could hear police sirens so loud in the background.
“I know what you mean.” Sergei responds.

I am not sure how this happen but I am somehow listening into the middle of a phone conversation between two people. Deciding that something screwed up with the phones I decide to hang up when I hear Eugene say: “Well, I was going to fucking kill them all anyways, I can’t believe we were given the order to do it.”
“Yea, I didn’t….”

I am in the middle of an American high school. It just happens to be on sort of island made of cement and rebar. I am hiding from the Russian army. It’s commanders are looking for their soldiers. I know this for some reason, and I need to hide. Unfortunately this is not easy. I try hiding behind stairs and under equipment, but nothing is really working. So I watch as this chubby kid in a Russian uniform, make out with his girlfriend while his mom is watching. The chubby kid is really riding and grinding on his girl friend while his mom watches, but the both are still fully clothed.

Then things get really weird and the commander that is looking for troops down the High School hallways goes up to the boy making out with his girlfriend and shouts some command at him to stand up. He stands up and then when he is at a position of attention the commander breaks into a US commercial TV voice and explains the benefits of being in the Russian Rebel Army and how they allow you to make out with your girlfriend.

Freaked out I run down a hallway and get stuck at a dead end. A commander is wandering around and sees me and starts moving fast towards me asking me something in Russian. Then he realizes I can’t speak Russian and comes at comes at me with a swinging fist. I duck as he punches a locker. Then I run and duck again as he swings as I roll past him…

Then I am a girl sitting on a dock as someone grabs the back of my shirt. He is in an older Russian uniform and wearing a hat. He looks up and I see that it Raikov (from MGS3) and he jams a Molotov cocktail into my hair making it explode over me and then I hear the phone ring and wake up.

What. The. Fuck.

So I am back. Have been for a couple days. Kind of really busy lately and all that.

I have been reading a ton of books. I don’t know why. I read my friends novel (which I have been meaning to since… last year sometime) and it was really excellent. I have to say it is probably the best novel I have ever read that is unpublished. I also read Galactic Pot-Healer (Philip K. Dick) and Notes from the Underground by Dostoyevsky. I am almost finished with Ubik (also by PK Dick) with less than 50 pages to go. I also re-read some Lovecraft. I have done all this reading in a little over a week. Before this last week or so I finished Confessions of a Mask which really drained me as it was pretty heavy handed.

Anyways, I am now soundly convinced that PK Dick is one of the best authors ever.

I am on my way out.

Well tomorrow I am going to St. Louis to visit my wife. 10 hour drive. I burned some audio books.

I will be back in a week.

See you later.

I honestly think I am just killing time waiting for a Coke to get cold in the fridge.

Also, today has sucked on many levels.

This weekend may as well.

I have been working a lot lately, so sorry that I have not been too active. Anyways, I have gotten a bit of reading done: Sound of Waves and the first part of The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea. Both are by Yukio Mishima, and both are about as different and yet similar as can be.

Seryogin kept telling me that The Sound Of Waves was ok, but not really Mishima. I am really glad I read it first. I enjoyed the book a lot, and particular parts were very good. It is a fairly simple love story that is perfect in many ways, and even gets the ending right (which I was pretty worried it would not). There were a few sections that really stood out to me, and it impacted me overall fairly deeply.

Then I read the first chapter of The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea.

I was completely blown away with it, and just that chapter alone was greater than the entirety of Sound of Waves out of the water. I ate the rest of the first part of the book up like candy, and even fought of sleep for an extra hour to finish it. It was very hard to fight off the sleep, but it was worth it in the end.

I am going to probably consume the rest of the book right now, and then will hopefully watch Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams. I hope I will. I think that part of the reason that I have not been watching movies is because this sofa chair is not too comfortable, so I transferred the movie to my PSP and plan on watching it in bet. It looks kind of bad on the PSP, but I encoded it at as high a quality as I could and still fit it on my memory card. Hopefully it worked.

EDIT: I just added a bunch of people to my friends list. Where the hell did you all come from, and why did you not alert me to the fact that you were friending me?

Also I organised my desktop and changed my theme to pearlthane which makes my desktop really soft and gorgeous, but no longer went with my Ibara theme. So I made a custom background of the Mega Man Legends poster. Fuck, Mega Man Legends is such a great game.
