I had a dream last night. Oddly (for me, anyway), I remember this dream. It was about Shore Leave, the Star Trek convention held in Baltimore every July. So! The dream. As many attendees know, the Hunt Valley Marriott changed the carpet about a year and a half ago. In light of that, the conventionContinue reading “On a Shore Leave Dream”

On Voting and a Recurring Dream
I’ve had a recurring dream the past few days. The first time it happened I woke terrified. It haunted me after I woke in the morning, as much from its subject matter as its vividness. And I’ve been gripped with a terror ever since. In the dream a space shuttle crashes. It’s coming in forContinue reading “On Voting and a Recurring Dream”
On Disturbing Visions
Let’s talk my dreams again. Maybe dreams isn’t the right word. A vision. On Memorial Day 1998 I was struck by a drunk driver. He ran a stop sign, smashed into the rear of my car (about two feet behind the driver’s side door). The resulting impact spun the car around twice, broke the rearContinue reading “On Disturbing Visions”
On a Strange Dream
I haven’t been sleeping well of late. Actually, ever since the move I’ve simply not been able to sleep, at least not until the early hours of the morn. It’s also means that I’m either remembering my dreams or I’m hallucinating. I don’t normally remember my dreams, and yet I remember quite vividly part ofContinue reading “On a Strange Dream”
On Packing
I'm enjoying a cup of mint tea, though it occurs to me that I really should have fixed a pot of coffee instead — I feel a caffeine migraine demanding attention. I slept in this morning. Well, it passed for sleeping in. I rolled out of bed at quarter to ten. That's late for me.Continue reading “On Packing”
On Poor Sleep
I slept poorly last night. I went to bed at a decent time–decent for me, at any rate–not much past eleven, curled up with Edison’s Conquest of Mars, Garrett Serviss’ 1898 sequel to H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. read maybe fifteen pages, and then nodded off to sleep. At three I awoke withContinue reading “On Poor Sleep”
On Dreams
My sleep was somewhat restless last night. I thought I was getting over a cold, not catching a cold. Today I feel worse than I did yesterday. The nasal passages feel phlegmy, the head swims. Cold medicine I won’t touch–it makes me wired, jittery, and vaguely loopy. Fortunately, I scheduled myself for a late shiftContinue reading “On Dreams”

A Most Disturbing Dream
A few days ago I picked up Kenneth Branagh’s version of Much Ado About Nothing on DVD at Target for under ten dollars. I haven’t watched it–been too busy to do so–so I’ve added it to my “to be watched” pile. Before I went to bed, I took the Klingon Language Institute‘s translation of theContinue reading “A Most Disturbing Dream”
