There was a building malfunctioning.. hatches, exits to a room, a home, were malfunctioning, and the people trapped inside.. and I arrived with a friend to try to free them. After futzing with the controls, I decided to use superpowers to free them (as apparently, I had them in this dream). I knew of another friend who could melt things, and was thinking of calling him, but my friend reminded me that he could only melt things from below, and we had no way to hold him beneath the suspended cube to do his stuff. I could fly, but my powers of flight wern't sufficient to hold someone else too. We knew of another guy who had super-strength, and called him, but it would be awhile until he arrived, so I tried using my moderate super-strength.. I could dent the walls, but little more. So, I just walked around the area trying to figure out some way to free them, until he arrived and ripped the walls apart. First to come out were 2 running cats and 2 lizards. I was saddened and disgusted to see that another Iggy had, apparently in the stress of the captivity, had his head ripped off, and I petted him on the head as his life faded. The people left too, and I looked sadly at the body of the lizard, wishing I could just place the still living head and body back together, prolonging life.

Superman can't fix a car. He'd always get frustrated even trying. I know what the unpleasantness of the Iguana was about, and what the insufficiency was about.. so let's focus on the incidental. Dream landscapes and ways of living. In some of my dreams, the shadow world dreams, I'm in a twisted version of reality, a dry parody, rearranged elements of real life, where a larger population huddles together against the darkness, government and global sanity gone. This was another common type of dream.. an endless set of interconnected caves, each quite large, with metal grids and stairs connecting homes, cubes raised above the uneven ground. People would not simply make the entire cave home, as people need to travel the trails between caves.. the gridwork provides the feeling of safety we all need, the seperation from nature.

This was a good weekend. Debb and I had a fun time.

People the world would be better without... the list has another name added.. Terri Carlin. She had filed a class action against Janet Jackson for billions of damange because she had suffered "outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury". She's apparently some hick from Tennessee. Isn't America grand? Where people are actually INJURED by seeing a breast... This lady apparently keeps her eyes shut while in the shower. And, of course, because she had her fragile feelings hurt, she wants to ban the input. People like her should be ostracised.

Oh, and if you haven't been getting enough right-wing slanted news, try this. It's good to keep an eye on these people.

Oh, CaliFNORDia, San Fnordcisco, particularly, has, by action of the mayor, granted marrage licenses to gay couples this last weekend. It is unclear, given that the licenses are passed to higher levels of government which may reject them, if these will bear legal weight when all is said and done (although some interesting lawsuits may happen), but it's a great victory to have gotten this far, and perhaps a greater victory yet is possible if they can, over the objections of BushJr (pbuh), push this over.

Solaris 10 is on its way. I like Solaris, but nothing interesting new is on its way -- what they call N1 Grid promises nothing that UserModeLinux doesn't. It's cool, and it's great that Solaris has caught up on this issue. I might start playing more with UserModeLinux if I get more RAM for my laptop.. but with cutting-edge Linux pushing ahead as rapidly as it is, Solaris may eventually be left behind in the dust. Speaking of which, let me take this opportunity to make my opinion known. Gentoo Linux is a piece of crap. I'd rather run Slackware again, or even Debian, than that crud. Some Linux distros are cool, some are OK, and some just suck.

It's really interesting to me that an increasing number of medical things can be done without invading the body in surgery. Here's another article on killing cancer with sound. I wonder how much surgery in the future will be done knifelessly...
