Thanksgiving, among others
Here's some images I found Googling "Crazy pictures" and "sunsets"... I just feel like I haven't poster anything visual in a while. I think the muppet is my favorite one and in some unsettling way portrays how I've felt over the Thanksgiving weekend. We went to the mountains in West Virginia to see the family and visit the family farm. Shot guns and ate deer jerky. I love seeing my cousins. In a way, I think I'm closer with them than I am with my extended family in Dayton. The Dayton family does whatever it can to avoid itself; I haven't seen some of them in several years, and I know it's a two-way boat, but we've drifted so far apart on these waters. What can you do? What I've come to: Family is most important. And when I have kids, they will know it.

Dreams.
Strange dreams lately... The first, an esoteric nightmare with anthropic beings trying to genetically alter me and those around, one by one. They spoke in a babbling language that Hunter S. Thompson himself might have invented, and lulled people into seclusion, where they would inject them with chemicals... once done, it was over. You were theirs. No understanding, no logic following. Done. It was terrifying. A lot of the people who were affected went into this trance-like coma.
The second: More fun, but also scary. Holed up in a large house defending human refugees against zombies (always on my mind, right?). At one point the severed upper torso of a little boy grabbed onto the back of my shirt, screaming and flailing wildly with blood-stained mouth and hands. I woke up so startled that I whipped around and almost punched my then-sleeping girlfriend in the face.
"How'd you get that black eye Rachel?"
"Uhhh..."
I don't know why I'm having these dreams consistently. I haven't had "nightmares" since I was a kid... but I'm trying to look to them for inspiration and actually look forward to having them. It's in our dreams where we truly and absolutely create... and these dreams have been completely lucid.
Maybe I should put them on hold until I finish the semester... I have so many projects and papers due. This has been one of the most intellectually and academically challenging semesters of my college career. I'm thankful for it, but at the same time I'm screaming my head off. Oh, research paper due tomorrow! It will be a long night.

Google Announces an OS
Google announced today a new operating system: Google Chrome OS
Looks to me like another ambitious attempt to monopolize our digital lives. Google is taking a hold and could very well the way of the future.
I don't know how practical the OS looks though. There's a video on the link above, tell me what you think. I'm just imagining the slow grind of third parties to develop their software for a new OS. I'm trying to imagine a whole new NLE programmed by Google that could rival Avid, Final Cut, and Premiere. It's going to be an interesting year!

UD Commercial
Hey!
Here's a commercial for my university that I was in for a brief two seconds! I was the production assistant for two days, and they needed some fill-ins on the second!

Roman pic of the day
Another installment in my tourist series, this statue is a genuine Michaelangelo housed in some Cathedral on some road somewhere in Rome. Wish I could remember, but we were on a walking tour at the time and they crammed so much information into us in a series of three days that it was impossible to retain all of it. Luckily, there are photos! It's funny: I started a travel journal while I was there which lasted all of three days until I realized "I'm in Rome!" Stop writing and experience, right? Now I'm realizing the value of travel journals... oh well. Next time.
