very vivid dreams, very surreal.
in one of them I was on my way to Paris, packing an enormous suitcase, freaking out because I was going to miss my flight and there was no time, no time. meanwhile I was packing all this stuff into the suitcase- socks, underwear, books, videos (?), bathing suit, towels, every pair of shoes and boots that I own, and more, and the car that was going to take me to the airport was going to arrive any second. this went on forever.
then I woke up. quite a disappointment. I really would love to be going to Paris right now.
I've had these "late-for-the-airport" dreams before, but usually I'm going to Germany, to visit my friend Constanze. Sometimes in my dream I actually arrive and see her, and other, more fictional people, and these are always very, very hard to wake up from. They make me very emotional.
I also have had dreams about trains and train stations for years- just often enough that I notice it, but not more than once year or so. These are fun, also very surreal (sometimes the train stations are very bizarre dream-constructions; like science fiction train stations), and frequently also involve going to visit Constanze.

I am having great frustrations with my new web-hosting company. I have a feeling that I just don't know what I'm doing. grrrrr. want to get it up and running.
I'm going to see Eli today at the Alternative Press Expo at Herbst Pavilion. He's only here for the weekend- what a coast-hopper, eh?
