All you really need to know

Craving some time to play more with computer graphics, yet unable to think of anything I wanted to do in POV-Ray that didn't require more rational thought than my brain was willing to put forth, I... ended up feeding snippets of POV-Ray code to MegaHAL. That's pretty much all you need to know about my sad mental state right there.

Though a Friday night dream might be another clue. In the dream, there was some crucial thing I needed to be doing, one of those things that affects the fate of millions, but I was in the early stages of a fatal disease which would make me lose my mind. The experts told me that I would have good days and bad days, and should make the most of the good days while I had them.

"Are you saying there will be days when I'm insane and other days when I'm not insane?"

"No, no! The condition has affected you too much. You're insane already! There will be days when you're less insane, and we're all counting on you to do what you can on those days."

Reeling from the news that I was already damaged enough to be considered barely in touch with reality, I poured out my sorrows to a black cat I was living with. The fluffy guy was very kind to me, telling me that he would let me know if I ever seemed too crazy to him.

From last night's dreams, the only thing I remember is that one of my housemates received a bottle of root beer in the mail from hai_kah_uhk. I was surprised to learn that he knew Dandelion, and both surprised and a little miffed to realize that I had no root beer. Aww.

Haven't been online as much as usual this weekend. I hope you all are doing well out there, and that those of you in flood zones have managed to stay as dry as you wanted to. Wasn't sure if I'd be getting out of the house today, but the sun actually came out as it was setting. It was good to go walking when all the dark clouds exchanged their silver linings for gold.
