| I read Andy's comment on the front page about the chat feature and thought, "Oh yea. I saw that but I never got around to looking at it." So I'm in there now, in another window of course, and there are four others on. But it seems that they're mainly just asking for journal help, not really chatting. Poor Andy. I really like the slanted scrollbar though, kudos. Ok. No one is chatting with me. Assholes. Recently I've added two more books onto the growing list of "Books I started but have yet to finish". These two books are, 10,000 Dreams Interpreted by Pamela Ball and The Art of Blacksmithing by Alex W. Bealer. I am borrowing the latter from a 'connection' of mine. That is, to say, I don't know the person well. I started another book last night but was so distracted that I managed to read only twenty pages in an hour. I'll try to finish that one sometime, if my brother doesn't return it to the school library. It's another book on dreams, dealing with the Readings of Edgar Cayce. I need to work on smoother transitions.. Stepping back into the aforementioned books, I don't know if 10,000 Dreams Interpreted is a good buy. For roughly $11.00 you get text like, "To dream of stealing suggests we are taking something without permission." to "To be on stage in a dream is to be making oneself visible." to even more obvious bunkum such as, "Using a telescope in a dream suggests taking a closer look at something." No shit. Oh well, it wasn't my money. Haha, I just wrote a review on that book at buy.com. My review will be posted within five business days. Sucks to be Pamela Ball. Let's see now.. come Sunday I'm going to the Renaissance Festival with siblings. I'm excited about that, especially because I'm not paying. The downside of this trip is that I don't have a costume. My oldest sister handed an Egyptian whore costume to my other sister, to which she asked, "What do Egyptian whores have to do with the Renaissance Festival?" My oldest sister replied, "Nothing! But it looks good." A typical response coming from her. So once again, I'm going to the Renaissance without a costume. I swear one day I will find something themely to wear. I was actually looking for a nice dress online and saw one titled Midnight Priestess Robe, which looks decent. The robe is $46.00 but it ships within 48 hours and that's just not fast enough. Some day I swear I'm also going to work at least one year at the Renaissance Festival. I don't care how much it pays, it looks awesome. Of course it would help if I lived near Kansas City, in which I don't, and in which I don't particularly plan to. Maybe there's a cheap motel nearby where I can stay at for the seven weeks. Or I could drive up there, work two days, drive back down, and continue this for the seven weeks. Heh. Hopefully the pay would cover the gas/lodging costs. I doubt it. I'm going to call it a night. |

Smishbear | 09-21-03 6:23pm I went to the Renaissance Festival and it was so much fun. I wish I could get a costume nad dress up. That sounds like so much fun. |
talithe | Re:, 09-23-03 4:11am Definitely! I had fun without dressing up, but hopefully I can go again this weekend with a hand-sewn costume. |
