Just had another dream where some scientist created a machine that changes his molecular structure and first it made him young, but then it turned him into this bug like creature and it almost hurt my sister. My mother wasn't too happy that I'd run off with The Doctor and even slapped him at one point. In the end, I finally became a full fledged Companion.

My dream made me wonder, what is the craziest thing everyone has dreamt about?

As the summer approaches, please consider donating any gently used seasonal clothing you no longer wear that isn't too far out of style to a shelter near you. The same goes for shoes. Please also consider donating toiletry items--toothbrushes, combs, brushes, etc.--as there's always a need for those. We live in a country that, as a nation, is viewed as one of the richest, but we must never forget that even in this "land of plenty," there are those who, for a myriad of reasons which often go ignored because it is unpleasant to think that the United States suffers from such things, do not have many of the things so many of us take for granted.

Billy, we should plan a surprise trip back to Oklahoma for Mother's Day.

Leave it to my employer to neglect to inform me that the are people who fly here. I'm Motoko. This place is very interesting.

Dreams last night went from bad, to terrible, to somewhat amusing. I mean, my dreams are never good, but at least after a particularly horrifying dream last night, I had one that wasn't as bad as they've been.

...sort of set me up for the magic show this weekend, actually. There were magicians in my last dream.

Is there anyone out there called Anna Milton? Just on the off chance...

I'm in the process of brewing a potion from my dreams last night. I have had to make several changes in the recipe, as the ingredients cannot be found in this world. Considering how delicate the potion is, I doubt it will come out correctly. But it's been an interesting practice in potions crafting in any case.

Oddly enough, I didn't even have to check if tonight was the full moon. Somehow I simply knew. I can't explain how I knew, I just did. It had nothing at all to do with the fact that it tends to happen around the same time of the month, because I had completely lost track of the date.

First my sense of smell begins going haywire and then I simply know exactly when the full moon is going to be. I fear that this does not bode well.

I insist that there is a party or a event or something tomorrow night.

If not, I'm making one. I'm absolutely bored to tears.

I'm curious: have any of the Britons or Scotsmen on this network ever visited Lindisfarne? Or, for that matter, I suppose, anyone else? While I grew up only perhaps an hour from the Holy Island, I never visited. Can anyone tell me what it was like?

I dreamt I came to God there, and became a monk working on the Gospels. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

I just found Pinterest. (Where was I six months ago when it was big??)

And this is why Reptillia are the most fascinating class of Animalia on the planet. No doubt there are skeptics out there likely to view this video as one man's complete insanity - and you would be insane to try this with just any old crocodile - but I am sure there were skeptics too when men first attempted to tame the Canidae.

Is there a point to this, you ask? Why, yes. Yes there is.

Just because it's not covered in fluffy wrinkly fur like this little fellow does not mean these creatures deserve any less respect or affection. Around this time of year the zoo begins to receive "donations" of reptiles people can no longer care for. Whether they've underestimated their own abilities to provide safe and healthy environments for dart frogs, iguanas, and chameleons or worse yet, find they are no longer interested in keeping a pet who has grown from this adorable little hatchling into an eighteen inch terror that snaps and bites.

A turtle is NOT a good pet for a child!

I get more of these little fellows on my doorstep every day. And while charming to watch when only centimeters long sucking up blood worms like spaghetti or stumbling over floating docks to hunt crickets three times their size, they do grow. Significantly. Like puppies grow into dogs, or kittens into cats and people should be

So please. Respect the reptiles. And be more aware of the commitments you make when selecting a pet. Not that I recommend crocodiles as pets but you have to admit the guy's got a friend for life there.


Also, Julian, if there's more wine in the house you should tell me where it's at. Cause I just killed the bottle.

Grumpy Cat might just be my favorite thing about the Internet right now.

Seriously, I think I've been sitting here for at least an hour liking everything on that stupid Facebook page. It's like we're soulmates. (Sorry, Peeta.)
