Just last week I was thinking about how bothered I was by the fact that I had not had any really vivid, memorable dreams in awhile. Yes, some of my dreams are extremely creepy, but some of them are very good, and when I awaken all I want is to go back to sleep, to continue dreaming.<\/p>\n

I was beginning to wonder whether the fact that we’d be watching so many videos was the problem, since we have gone through two complete seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine since the beginning of January. Well, Friday I had an extremely vivid dream<\/a>, so I decided that my theory was kaput. (Saturday’s dream was also vivid, but extremely disjointed, so there was nothing I could salvage from it, except the feeling.)<\/p>\n

I did discover, however, that there are other problems with watching so much TV–it makes me physically ill. Okay, you can stop laughing now, but I’m serious. I’ve noticed before that on days when we had watched a lot of ‘Buffy’ I’d have a headache before we were through. Well, Saturday and Sunday we watched the entire 6th season of Buffy. Friday I went to bed with a headache. Saturday with only two and a half episodes left, the headache was back with a vengeance (despite aspirin) and we had to turn off the TV completely because it was making my sick to my stomach. Really. For about five minutes I was serious afraid I was going to vomit, and I ended up napping for about an hour. Only then was I up to finishing watching the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

What on earth is wrong with me? Normal people don’t get sick just watching TV!<\/p>\n

Good grief.<\/p>\n

At least I know now that I should definitely continue to avoid cable.<\/p>\n

That said, however, we’re eagerly awaiting Season 3 of DS9 to arrive–this to be watched at no more than a couple of episodes at a time. It’s better that way.<\/p>\n

Of course I’m not sure that I need more darkness right now. Since Christmas we’ve watched seasons 5 and 6 of ‘Buffy’ seasons 1 & 2 of ‘DS9’ and I have also reread ‘The Sandman Library’ as well as some of Charles de Lint’s darker books. I figure that to round things out I just need to rip through Thieves’ World again.<\/p>\n

From a more sane perspective, perhaps I should watch the ‘Princess Bride’ and reread some Terry Pratchet–just to balance things out.<\/p>\n

We shall see.<\/p>\n

And to add insult to injury. It looks as if someone I know has gotten one of those e-mail harvesting viruses, which has been spoofing my e-mail address to send out viruses, as I have received several “Returned to sender addressee unknown” replies, for messages I never sent out.<\/p>\n

This really pisses me off, as the account that is being spoofed is one that I have used for several years (since 99) and yet have managed to keep spam free. Grrr….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
