How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I dreamed about taking my cat to a coffee shop, and about Jacob Carter being my father. There was a very irritating part of my dream where I had to listen to him having kinky sex with a really annoying much younger woman. It was an alarmingly detailed dream. Really, why does my brain need to include that much detail about how hard it was for me to make hot chocolate, or about figuring out the used water/used soap buckets? Or Jacob Carter's imagined kinky sex practices? Or trying to figure out if I could keep a check from being cashed?

I wouldn't have thought I was asleep for long enough to dream all that!

And in other, less "listen to my dream!" news, does anyone have an opinion on Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" albums? Specifically, which two I should buy if I was to buy two?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Technically there's only one "Music for Airports", and of the 4 "Ambient" albums (the ones labeled as such - he's made several more that are also ambient, but aren't labeled "Ambient"), only two are just Eno (Music for Airports and On Land). I find MfA rather dull, though it is good background music sometimes, but I very much like On Land. And Apollo (which was the soundtrack to a documentary featuring footage from the Apollo missions) is my favorite ambient Eno (that said, his first four albums with actual songs and lyrics are just about perfect).

Stop me before I parenthasize again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bah. I thought the story was that the guys who made it tried to get permission but were basically ignored by Hasbro and/or Mattel.
