Recent Developments

I am in a state of high iritation. This is because my uncle has taken our bathroom away to replace it with a new one. The snag is, it takes several days just to put the new shower unit in place of the bath. As a result I have not showered in roughly 2 days and counting. I am sweaty and my skin feels nasty despite me washing it in the sink every morning. Fortunately the magic of Lynx Dry keeps me from minging like week dead horse but it's still beginning to really irk me. It will be a great pleasure tomorrow night (fingers crossed) when I can finally finally slide into boiling hot fast running water and cook every square centimetre of my skin until I resemble a large crustacean who got on the wrong end of a net. Then I will finally step out, wrap myself in a towel which will be warm and fluffy and I will vigourously dry myself, drawing blood as necessary, until I am 100% clean.
Recently I've had a couple of really clear dreams, one involving Battlefield 2 and the other involving Full Metal Alchmist. I don't really remember them now but I do remember them being very clear which is a rarity now. Hopefully over the summer I will finally start to remember them properly when I have time in the mornings to write them down and plenty of extra sleep to encourage REM that produces these indescriblable visions.
I am also folding protein for science courtesy of the Folding@Home client which can be found at

It's one of those distributed computing projects where they borrow your idle cycles and turn them to the aid of fighting disease and aiding manking. Personally I was always more of a SETI fan myself but I'lll give it a go. It's quoting me around 20 days for it to finish this one workunit. Which is scary cause SETI took like a day MAX. This is obviously complicated stuff.

Edit: Now thats its gotten going its down to under two days. Also it seems SETI has just gotten a major upgrade not long ago so grab it and give it a whirl too. The Aliens will wub you

Cool blog. The pursuit of lucid dreams is definitely worth the effort.
