the dream

i woke up this morning with my heart beating in my throat from a particularly vivid dream: i managed to convince the commander of the space teams to let me switch from the ground forces moments before the city came under attack. our position was on an enormous concrete rooftop far beneath a massive bridge, and we watched as gigantic battlemechs in decepticon livery came over the distant mountain accompanied by lines of artillery and infantry. we were amazed to discover that we had our own 'mechs, one hiding behind a skyscraper just in front of us, and then suddenly the battle was on and we witnessed it close in frighteningly quickly. i suddenly realized that i only had a single ammo clip and there was a distinct possibility of being flanked.

i semi-awoke just after getting the magazine in and realizing that i was seriously out of practice, and spent the remainder of the half-asleep state contemplating how the space teams should have been launched immediately before the fireworks started. anyway, the scale of the battle was mind-boggling.

...

i'm feeling much less foggy today, but still foggy and i felt dazed until mid-afternoon. i spent the day working on things that were much more interesting than what i got stuck with the past couple of weeks, and i was inspired by a guy i studied with in tel aviv to get hold of the first season of gargoyles so we all enjoyed the introductory episodes.

i finally finished my workday around 10.30, and i'm feeling overwhelmed by the stack of todos that just keeps growing with more and more urgent stuff. i'm freaking TIRED, man. i even missed a community meeting this evening and only realized two hours later. three different entities want me to go out and pick up loads of heavy items to carry home when i don't have a car and we're not allowed out for non-essential travel anyway.

wtf.
