I'm just gonna say this all here now, before everyone wakes up tomorrow and sees the news plastered everywhere.

Norman Osborn's condition has taken a substantial turn for the worst. OsCorp is continuing research into any possible cures, but, I'm going to be honest here, we all know the old man isn't going to last long enough. As of this Friday, I've officially been named CEO and owner of OsCorp, its acquired assets, and our patents. I plan on remaining here in Orange County, with the new branch, and running the company from here.

Hey, I had more dreams and you're in them. Apparently we're old friends in my dreams.

The last few days have been rather interesting.

Will and I went to the campus bookstore on Friday to get our books early, but we didn't actually get them, because Will got into a fight with another student who was rather rude to me. I could have handled it myself, but I was rather taken aback by the situation so Will jumped in.

It reminded me of Will in the dreams. He has a tendency to jump headlong into fights without thinking about his own well being.

Speaking of my dreams, they had been coming rather regularly lately. I showed Tessa my favorite place, which in the dreams is Blackfriars Bridge. I also explained my condition to her after I collapsed when we got back to the Institute after being attacked by automatons. The next day, we were tricked by Mortmain, who we thought was on our side, but was actually the person controlling the clockwork creatures. Believing that de Quincy was the person we were after, Charlotte and Henry went to kill him while Mortmain came to tell Will and I that the Dark sister was helping the Magister and told us where to find her, but it was all the trick. We got back to the Institute to find it under attack and one the Mundanes who worked for us was killed and we found out that Tessa's brother was actually working for Mortmain.

Before we realized it was all a trick, Will and I found a cat in a cage in the Dark sister's house, which she was using to experiment on and ironically, it was my cat Church. The cat that I have in the waking world. I brought him back with me to the Institute because I wasn't going to leave him there.

It's interesting dreaming about eighteen hundreds while living in the twenty first century. Everything was so different then.

When I woke up the other morning, I found my Stele on my nightstand, which is the wand like tool we use to apply Runes to our bodies. Then this morning I found my cane leaning up against the side of my bed. It's rather beautiful. It has a jade dragon head and it came in quite handy in the dreams in case I needed it for support if I made myself too ill while fighting. It also has a blade hidden inside it. I'm looking forward to learning to fight with it.

As of this school year, I will no longer be teaching high school history; instead I'll be teaching history at the University of California in Irvine. I was offered the job on Friday on simply couldn't turn it down. I've taught mostly high school during my teaching career and I think teaching college will give me a more flexible schedule around the full moon.

Anyone hiring? I'll do almost anything.

So with all the dream talk on this thing.... disorienting and headaches? Is that how you tell? Because that was

Reminder, don't eat kiwis out of the rind around my laptop or sketchpad. It's a lot harder than it actually looks; believe it or not. I've got kiwi juice all over the place. Eating fruit should not be this difficult.

And that was your random post of the day from me.
