Dreaming of Bloggers
The last two nights I've dreamed of other bloggers.
Wednesday night I dreamed about New York City Watchdog. I'd say I've just come across his blog recently, NYCW is going to Tequilacon and I've been reading the blogs of the attendees, but I'd actually stumbled across it at some point in the past as I remembered his cartoon character.
Anyway, in the dream I'd left a comment and he'd replied. His reply was, "You need to install an installer." This was put in the context of a Linux computer and made some sense in the dream.
Awake, it's sort of hard to tie together, though I've been working on a Linux box and having trouble getting a cron job to run (the solution came to me as I drove to lunch Friday). And of course, there's the Windows Installer.
Thursday night I dreamed about Kazaa, who happens to be getting married today and is unlikely to see this post. In the dream a car had broken down on a long stretch of road. Kazaa was driving and when I went to help said she needed to get to Adelaide.
What's odd is that if Thursday morning you'd asked me to name all the Australian cities I could I never would have come up with Adelaide. I'd have been able to give you Perth, Sydney (with two 'y's), Canberra, Young (they have, or had, a pet store/porn shop) Kalgoorlie and Melbourne.
Searching Kazaa's site turns up Adelaide in 2005 and 2003. I knew how to spell Adelaide without looking it up, so I've seen it and somehow remembered it.
So, why Kazaa? I'm reading Bill Bryson's "In a Sunburned Country" which is about Australia (I'll bet he mentions Adelaide in the book). Thursday morning I was at McDonald's and came across a story about the World's Lego Building Champion and held on to it so I could comment about it to Kazaa (she's a pretty good Lego builder herself). Thursday night I was catching up on my blog reading, noticed the Kazaa's site doesn't update in my reader and felt guilty for not having read her for a while; she was one of the first blogs I read and one of the first to comment on my blog.

Gosh, I'm kinda honoured that you'd dream about me! lol
(it's kazza not kazaa altho I did make some money renting out my domain name for that very reason ;) )
I have to admit I had a hard time keeping up with your blog for a while because it didn't render well in my feed reader so it was too hard to read. But something's changed recently so is much more betterer. I had trouble with Michael Gorey's too and haven't read that for some time either.. ooops...
btw, I changed the url of my blog's rss feed in January when I upgraded my blog to MT4.. I did warn people.. honest! ;)
