2004-05-25 (Tuesday) - Entry 472 - TOGoS's Journal

Since I haven't much better to do (hopefully Home Depot'll hire me, and then I will, but until then I don't), I'll probably be writing in here a lot.

I had a bunch of dreams as I was sleeping this morning (after coming back from returning Fizz's computer to his house and all)

We were all back in Platteville. I was with Matt and Fizz and probably Ben and some other guys. We were out behind the dorms in the woods or something. We stopped and Matt got out this container full of mud. But it had marijuana in it. So we all took a pipe full of marijuana-mud and started smoking it. We went back into Brockert (which, as usual in my dreams, didn't really resemble Brockert much). We were walking around blowing smoke in the halls. Then I realized that probably wasn't a good idea.

There was another dream I had in which I was at a swimming pool and I was going to try diving in. Fizz was telling me how to do it. I got up on the diving board and there was a line of people behind me and I was being slow and dumb. It was embarassing. There was other stuff about me hanging around in the swimming poop, too. And I was going to go to the bottom and climb up a ladder. Except I couldn't hold my breath the whole time and I breathed in some water. But it didn't seem to hurt me any.

And in another dream I was in some class. For some reason I was giving a presentation or trying to sxplain something to the class. Except I kept going back to the back row and just talking to my friends that were back there. I thought I was doing a pretty good job, but the teacher (I think it was Mr. Camosy) eventually made me stop.

Then I went outside to the sidewalk between Gardner and Otts and short Ben was there and I was talking to him.

When I woke up I had some music from Mandelbrot Sets and Julia Sets going through my head. So I decided to go ahead and oggify the soundtrack to those videos as long as my computer was upstairs and all. It took me a while to get the recording working right.

While making the oggs for these I did a severe upgrade to riptool2. You can now specify which types you want to make, and give it an output filename format, if you like.

I'm going to work on my Doom level and listen to the MbS+JS soundtrack, now. Probably. I mean, Mandrake 10 is taking forever to download and Slashdot is boring, as usual.
