It's that time of night when the only people awake are new parents and the wives of workaholics!

And the workaholics I guess.

I do not know if anyone is watching the World Cup, but England actually made it through to the quarterfinals after defeating Columbia on penalty kicks! England is notorious for losing penalty kicks, if the matches get to that point, so it was positively brilliant to watch them pull through today. I am proud of my countrymen for not disappointing us once again.

I can scarcely believe that my daughter is twelve years old already. Her birthday was two weeks ago, but it still amazes me how quickly time has passed. And it only make me cherish her even more considering in my dreams, she did not live to see her ninth birthday.

I'm sure the neighbors yelling or cheering wasn't because the investigators on this documentary I'm watching found the location of Tesla's Colorado Springs lab, or at least where they think it was, but I think it's super exciting so the timing was really neat.

It only took two months of being back here for the dreams to come back. Turns out dream!me is dating a criminal. She has quite the variety in her taste in men although the zombie thing limits the options a bit. Oh well I guess. At least the latest crazy has subsided.

If people want to walk into my lab making absurd claims, they better be able to provide me with peer reviewed scholarly sources when challenged or be prepared to do actual research and then write me an essay on why they're wrong.

Bloody hell. I even tried to given them a way out by offering that they may be conflating issues. But no.

I died. For real this time.

We coulda brought me back. Gabrielle tried, she fought so hard for it. But if we did, we would have doomed thousands of souls to an eternity of torment.

Me passing on is a small price to pay to set them free.

Gabrielle's got my Chakram, and training from myself and the Amazons. She's proven herself a good leader, a great fighter, and a compassionate woman. And she's a lot purer of a soul, even after everything that's happened to her.

She can keep helping people. Though I think I'll stick around a little whiles and keep an eye on her. Never was ready to say good bye.

Funny thing is, the worse part ain't even the dying. The worse part is I won't get any more dreams with her in them. My dreams have proven time and again that soulmates can transcend time, space, and even the veil between realities. Ain't ready to let go.

Lets make this a proper competition.

Future Industries is always looking for fresh blood, particularly among women and girls. We're prepared to meet or exceed any salary the competition has to offer.

In addition, we offer free medical and dental coverage, credits and scholarships for advanced schooling, and paid internships for those just starting out, with room for advancement. We're also in need of two new department heads. Which leads me to my next announcements.

We've begun preparations to build a fleet of airship, for both commercial and personal purposes. They'll be cheaper and faster than conventional trucks or cargo ships for all but the largest cargo. We expect the first six to be available later this year. Three prototypes are currently available for viewing at our publically accessible race track. One luxury liner, a cargo hauler, and a model suitable for tourist applications such as the Grand Canyon, or people transport. I've taken to calling that one the skybus.

Additionally, FI is building a new advanced particle accelerator. When complete, it will be one of the largest in the world, available for both research and practical applications at low cost to scientists.

I think it's time to start considering daycare for Mareena during the day. There are things I need to do with the club in the moring hours before we open at night, plus helping her learn to socialize with other children--well---babies--can't be the worst thing int he world.

Do any parents have recommendations?

i've watched this video like five times today.

i wish this were an actual show.

also i found another bad syfy movie. dinocroc vs. supergator. bill from kill bill is in it. also apparently there's some movie about the aztecs and cortez and it involves getting attacked by a t-rex for some reason, but this is syfy, so basically logic isn't really important. i am prepared to watch a lot of terrible syfy movies. so many.

Well, that was an unexpected turn my dreams took. Apparently I may actually end up happy. Or as happy as my dream self possibly can be. She has a girlfriend now. Though this is assuming that I don't mess it up. Me and happiness don't go together in the dreams very well.

[This is River's first time on the network, and she's been considering posting here since her dreams had shown her everything that there was to show her. It was difficult to think that she'd been taken away from her family, let alone all of the scifi things that go along with it. And being an assassin, and being a different person.

Or three different people, she expected that she really should call it three. So, instead she just asks, because well why not, but she does it in amused River sort of way.
]

So, dears, what does one do when all of the names in the dreams happen to sound just as viable as your own. Do pick one from there or do you keep the one you've now or do you decide to go a third way.

Of course I am always fond of finding my own way, so perhaps that's an option. If nothing else, a girl could certainly use a drink, if you're buying.

Yes, Artie, allow me to go track down that dagger for you that is difficult to find. No, it is okay, being alone in a world I do not know is totally alright with me. Also it is perfectly fine to make me keep this mission a secret from everyone. It is also fine to further isolate me from the only people I actually know.

One would think allowing me to develop and cultivate healthy relationships with the only three people I actually know in the modern world would be a better course of action. Especially after I spent one hundred and ten years completely isolated within my own bloody mind. But no, apparently the answer is for me to be alone in the world.

I am almost wishing my dreams would go back to my being the villain. I at least was around people while being evil.

I'm definitely not used to waking up to the smell of the ocean. Manhattan might be an island, but it's very easy to forget that you are surrounded by water when you are walking in Midtown or shopping in SoHo. Even with the East River and the Hudson River only a few miles away at most given points, it's nothing like California.

I never thought I'd want to live anywhere but New York City, but here I am, moved in and partially unpacked in Southern California. Someone point me in the direction of the best coffee (don't say Starbucks. Or Dunkin' Donuts. Those are both lies.)

My dad called me. I didn't answer it, but he left a voice mail. He wanted to know why he hadn't heard from me on father's day. He said he was disappointed. Seriously? He can't really expect me to call him back.

I'm worried that I'll have repeats of my dreams about him.

Maybe I should change my number.

Brexit has my parents arguing. My mum is firmly on the stay side and my dad wants Britain to leave. I've claimed to have no opinion whatsoever so neither of them think I'm taking sides. It's amazing watching the tallies, though. I never thought so many people would vote to leave.

Hypothetical question.

What do you do if you're really into someone who, just by sheer chance, is a bad guy in your dreams (the sort of bad that just kills people and agrees with wiping out entire planet systems). And your two best friends also share these dreams. So naturally your best bro really doesn't dig the idea of you and this guy together.

This is one of the weirdest things I've ever asked advice for. Is this the sort of thing you need to call your mom about?? I'm in my thirties, I shouldn't have these problems.

My new favorite thing is 19th century literary drama. I was an English Lit major, and I feel like this is something we should have learned. Give me a course on the behind the scenes soap operas of all the poets and authors we were reading. I mean, they could have devoted an entire six weeks to Lord Byron alone. Mary Shelly invented science fiction just to make fun of him to their friends.

Well, I daresay that my daughter has had an excellent birthday. The look on her face when her friends from Germany showed up for her party was priceless indeed. She hasn't stopped talking about it. It was a blessing to see the way her face lit up.

Now my daughter, my wife and I are taking a family vacation around the UK. Having some family time is very much needed for us.
