Contemplation aggregation

My dreams of late have been fabulous; fabulously insane that is. Thursday night I dreamt about one of my coworker’s wife who was practicing witchcraft and as I was talking with her, her left eye began to multiple and morph into one huge gigantic black orb eye from which a demon burst forth. I would have to say it was very much in the style and theme of Akira with the camp factor of Army of Darkness.

This morning’s dream had Aleister Crowley in it and I was battling a wary against a Lego fortress, done in black and grey Legos like the ones that come in the castle or Harry Potter sets. The citizens of the Lego fortress were Lego Transformers and despite the fact that the fortress and Transformers were made out of the Lego plastic they were unmarked by the siege.

Also, walking into work this morning I find out that my ex-coworker passed away on Saturday. Her suffering is over which is a good thing, I just wished she was able to fully enjoy the entirety of her last weekend, which was the most beautiful weekend all summer. After finding out about that depressing news, I find out that another coworker’s (to whom I’m relatively close) mother passed away after battling liver cancer. Needless today, I’m going to be honoring the recently deceased this evening in true Irish style, by drinking.

I was reading all the current news updates for New York when I find an ad with pig wearing a tutu dancing around off Syracuse’s Post-Standard site . It’s for Gianelli Sausage and it states, try some at the NY State Fair. I go to the website and I find that same smiling dancing pig picture on their site right next to a sausage on tongs with a grill full of sausages behind it. I don’t particularly enjoy the fact that I eat meat, even more, I particularly hate it when companies remind me that the thing I’m currently ingesting could have been a smiling pig dancing around in a pink tutu.

Since returning from Ireland, I’ve been listening to Red FM out of Cork and 10 till every hour they have a news update. This morning’s update was how there was talk of pushing through a tax on fast food to help fight heart disease in the country. Despite the fact that 30% of the child population in the country is overweight and adult citizens also have issues with obesity, I think there might be some other more important factors that are contributing to the cause of heart disease.

I believe the smoking ban has gone through but the Irish Independent has a fantastic article about working through differences of smoking and non-smoking patrons of drinking establishments and allowing regulations which will save the smaller pubs from being wiped out due to lack of smoking customers. It seems that Ireland and US are not that dissimilar afterall in politics. Though if given the choice between Ireland and US, I’d gladly throw down my New York accent for a brogue.

As I was reading 1602 I had the faintest hint that the characters in the book were somehow familiar to me. Come to find out from Kris, there was a multitude of Marvel references. I have to say it was absolutely excellent and pretty and it made my first comic book store visitation all the more pleasant. I guess I'm not a virgin in that aspect anymore and it just turns me on when I hear Pat and Kris talking about comics. I'm such a freak.
