Doh! 6:55am CST Tuesday 6 March 2001 The URL I offered last night is pretty much unusable unless one is on a high bandwidth connection. It displays all 248 thumbnails, 6k each on a single page. Because they are separate images, it takes at least that mean HTTP requests, so the shit is pretty slow. Dream 5:45am CST Tuesday 6 March 2001 (dream) Driving Scott to the top of a building so I could try to sneak inside just to say I did it. I had access to the building's interior, but I wanted to get in from the roof for some reason. I parked Scott near one corner of the roof near an old forgotten door that had been sealed shut with piles of dirt sifted into its stairwell over the years. I tried looking for a different way in, but found nothing. I decided to explore down the forgotten stairwell anyway, but found a bunch of spider webs and vines in the way. I climbed back out, using Scott to help me pull myself out. I drove into a garage type thing on the roof and drove inside the garage door. I found an opening into the building from here, but it was armed with an alarm. I didn't even try to open it or go near it for fear that there would be a motion detector. I tried to figure out which corner of the building this door would be inside the building so I could find it from the inside and see if I could get *out* of the building through this door. I was memorizing what corner the door was in as I drove Scott out of the garage. It was getting light outside and the workers were coming alive in the garage. I closed the doors behind me with my garage door opener(closer), but all three doors were open again when I actually drove away down the ramp, with the garage doors on my left. - - - - We were somehow inside a computer screen saver, watching it do a repetitive calculation and drawing some marbles on the screen as they rolled back and forth across a ridged target thing with like 3 concentric circles that were almost like ripples in a pond. The marbles would stop in the ripples, forming concentric rings of marbles. The computer calculations that were required to display this graphic was too much for the computer to handle, so the image was running really slowly and then even froze at a certain random point. All the image was frozen and I could scroll around this 3-D world and see finer and finer detail. I saw there were images painted on the wall, so I zoomed in on one. It was a naked woman and I zoomed in on her vulva, which resolved into such detail that the entire image was from inside. Because it was all computer generated, the image resolved into a woman singing a rock and roll song with like stripes painted on every surface, including her form. It was like seeing the world through the eyes of Neo when he was in the Matrix, except the stripes were more like sugar icing poured in parallel lines over a pastry. I zoomed back away from the woman singing and the outer image had come to life in a different scene. We were in a boxing ring and the main character woman was asked for sex for $1 by a guy and she said "fuck you; I would crush you," or something. She had no fear, just disgust in her voice. - - - - I was skateboarding in a random downtown city and skating down the wrong side of the street, near the median, waiting for an opportunity to zip across traffic on the right hand side of the road. A city bus passed me and was just about to stop, so I cut across the street just behind it, in front of other traffic, and made an attempt to grind a curb near a pet shop or La Madeleine or something. Another skater on the street saw my attempt to grind and said "sup?" in a nice-to-meet-you kind of way. I told him it was my first time to ever grind on a skateboard. His alarm started beeping, and I was all, "go do whatever you have to do." It was actually Wende's alarm and I woke up. |
