Weird Dream

Just woke up from a weird one.

I was in a sort of jungle area with two friends. No trees though, so its specifically the ground brush and terrain I'm calling jungle-ish. We were wearing camouflage, sat down.

I was trying to post a status to Facebook - something to do with suggesting all international disputes having to be resolved via asking Christ the Redeemer (as in the statue in Brazil) who was right.

At this point one of my friends, who appeared to be Pakistani, grabs my hand as I'm speaking and point at my arm, shouting "there's that spider"

A minute or so passes of me trying to fling the spider off me with the back of my hand in exactly the right way - seems to be something to do with a tracking device or being traced or something. Each time I fail, the spider runs onto me again and I try another time.

A satisfactory swipe occurs and I immediately wake up. Two immediate thoughts occur to me: 1) it's morning, so I did manage to get to sleep; 2) I think the spider I was just dreaming about is now bigger and climbing the wall in front of me quite quickly. Eyes unwavering from the spider, I turn the bedside light on.

There is no spider on the wall.

Blog Update

Quick CSS edit to make links appear dark green and underlined only when they occur within a blog post.  Harder than it should have been to find out how Blogger classes the blog post body, but mission accomplished - links now appear as links!

G'night.

Oh, and just as an aside...

Why is every blog I get when I hit "Next Blog" on the Blogger banner a Christian blog? Seriously, am I missing? Did I file this blog under a category without realising it? I've clicking it ten times and had one blog that wasn't about Christianity, but even that had a piece of scripture quoted in the top right. What is going on here?

The H Stands for Highwaymen

HMV, this is why you're closing 60 stores this year and stores like CeX opened 60 last year.

HMV's pricing is cockdickulous (credit to Steve Chapman for the phrase). I was having a look at headphones in there yesterday and found they had a good selection of Sennheiser products. Given how much I love Sennheiser's addiction to bass, I had a good look, phoned a friend for advice, and received two key phrases - the first: Sennheiser CX 300.

Sure enough, HMV were selling them, and sure enough they were £40. The second key phrase: they'll have them for around £40, but see if anywhere else has them cheaper. I whipped out the future and had a look on Amazon. £15. Just had a look now and there's some on there for less than £9. All new (who would buy used in-ear headphones??), so what's the deal with these prices HMV?

No sooner had I seen them on Amazon for that amount, I beelined for the door. Not only were they cheaper on Amazon, they were just as easy to buy - I was done before I had even left.

Install failed

The Fedora installer failed to resize my drive. Tomorrow: do it myself and install to the space I create. Child's play.
