Piazza Della Signoria

This place was in my dreams long before I ever went there, and long before I knew it actually existed. i thought I was dreaming an enhanced version of my hometown.

Waking Life

Me, a couple of days ago: "It's, you know, like when you're trying to dial a phone in a dream, and you can't see the buttons and can't get the numbers right..."

Me, last night while dreaming: "Man, this is just like when you're trying to dial a phone in a dream and you can't see the buttons and can't get the numbers right..."

What me racist?

I've just deleted a post because someone complained about it being racist. Looking at it from a few months' perspective, it was quite tactless. I might have some racist content for you in the future, but only the kind I can get behind entirely.

Czernobog / Bielebog

This is from Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" - a book I've developed a strong fetish for. The part where Shadow and Wednesday stay with the Russian gods is one of the best parts, where surrealism mixes with the reality of an old immigrant's household:

Czernobog shook his head. He looked up at Shadow. "Do you have a brother?"

"No," said Shadow. "Not that I know of."

"I have a brother. They say, you put us together, we are like one person, you know? When we are young, his hair, it is very blond, very light, his eyes are blue, and people say, he is the good one. And my hair it is very dark, darker than yours even, and people say I am the rogue, you know? I am the bad one. And now time passes, and my hair is gray. His hair, too, I think, is gray. And you look at us, you would not know who was light, who was dark."

"Were you close?" asked Shadow.

HTML

One of my minor achievements that I'm pleased with, is that I've learned basic HTML. Nothing that will get me a Noble prize, I know, but it comes in useful every day. For example, I have built my website by myself. I can tweak the controls of this blog, for example, and I can add the little window on the side here that takes you to my new "Self Portraits" page. Make sure you check it out - I won't be showing any new additions here anymore.

A Revelation

Youtube is the newest stage in the evolution of cats. This is its true purpose and there's no disproving it.

I wish I had gone into theoretical physics instead.

I dreamed that I went on a date with Larry David. Not real life Larry David, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Larry David. He took me to an expensive restaurant, but then he went out for a minute and got mistaken for a bellboy in the hotel next door, so he spent the rest of the evening carrying suitcases up and down the stairs and whining.

I like it when dreams are plausible :]

Test

This is a test
As you can probably tell, the test post gets to stay on because the kitty is so damn adorable. And distinguished.
