I had a dream last night...

( Cut for graphic description of violent events )

I feel like I should be more affected by what I dreamed. It's not a like a movie or a video game. It felt so real. I had to take an extra-long shower just to get the phantom feeling off my skin, yet I couldn't talk to Barry about it. I guess I don't want to stress him out with my psycho dreams. It was so vivid I can still recall the layout of the uncle's shop, and the high-rise buildings that surrounded the beach. I remember how to get to the scene of the crime from the beach. I can remember my friends' faces, both when they were happy and alarmed. Are these people real? I get a lot of deja vu, so perhaps this is a sign of a future event? I hope not. While getting to Japan is a huge thing for me, I would suddenly find myself not wanting to go places if they sound like what I dreamed about.

Early presents to myself

I decided that since my gym membership is up, I want to use the $40 extra a month on things I like. So, I upgraded my net connection as well as my Netflix account.

The easy:
Netflix took only a few minutes to upgrade. I now am on the 2 DVD plan with a Blu-Ray upgrade. Woot!

The f'ing hard!!:
I signed into my bellsouth/at&t/"whatever the hell they are today" account, followed the links to change my account, and did so. On the old plan I was paying $60 for residential line, forced long distance (bastards), and DSL lite (because it's not right if it's not misspelled). After upgrading the DSL line to holycrapomgfastbuuuuutnotasgoodascable, my bill was only $7 more. Buh whu? I think that they're not telling me about some ass fee that won't pop up until my next bill. It wouldn't surprise me. I just have to make sure they aren't charging me that damn $5 a month 'networking' fee. I'm expecting around $80. We really get screwed around here...I would kill for real TV and a nice net con. *sigh* This is what I get in exchange for cheap rent.

So anyway, I'm supposed to have my new connection running by Monday. Couldn't be before the weekend, could it? Nope! *sigh* At least it'll be active before Christmas. I still don't know what half the stuff they've got listed is. I'll probably end up calling and talking to someone who clearly isn't American, or at least doesn't speak English as a first language. Gotta love free trade! *goes to piss in someone's corn flakes just to share the Holiday Spirit*
