6207

Just discovered that I hadn't posted yesterday's blog notes. They were still in draft stage. Thought I had posted them, but you know what thought did.

Also just getting around to today's posting, this posting. Saw Star Wars III today. Not that impressive. Lacked any real storyline and dialog was awful. Animations and CGI work was overwhelming, but couldn't really save it from being tedious and a bit boring. So much for my thumb in my nose.

Dreamed last night of a house. It was a house I had been in before in previous dreams. There was a set of nine lights embedded in the wall near the door. The lights were in three columns of three lights. The topmost light was lit on the first and third columns. None of the other lights were lit.

I deciphered the lights to be the house's address -- 404. I decoded this bit of data from looking at a photograph of the lighted panel. I gave the information to another person who was in the room with me. The number was part of a code that we were working to break.

As I said, the house had appeared in some of my previous dreams with the same 404 light pattern visible.

The person in the room was a man, someone I've known or seen around town. I felt somewhat silly spying on a house that I had been in before, but that was the way the dream went. The two of us were engaged in the house-watching task and gathering as much information as we could on the house and its occupants.

I read late into the evening last night--the Doctorow book--which has still not given me a clear idea of what the novel is about, ultimately. I'm over 100 pages into the text with no sign of clarity looking like it will arrive soon. I'm mesmerized by how he writes--the erudite prose, the thickness of the narrative. But I can't seem to penetrate it so far. Will continue to try.

This day is soon to be over. I must awaken early and take my truck in for a service tomorrow. I will become a temporary pedestrian for part of the day. May my dreams be wrapped in Star Wars images on this bright, moonlit night.

Back from dance class. Warm today and tonight. Glad my cave is on the cool side. It is sheltered from any direct sunlight, which helps it stay cool. So back to Doctorow and his density.
