MEMORY
The problem with updating this site so infrequently, is that by the time I actually sit down to do it, I've forgotten what it was I wanted to write about in the first place. So instead, I'll just ramble incoherently (even more so than usual) until I get tired.
Work has been going pretty well so far, although I seem to be working faster than I should, because they keep running out of things to have me do. In the evenings I've actually been doing stuff, which is a nice change. Not really exciting things, but going to coffee shops and bookstores at least gets me out of the apartment and away from computers.
I noticed during college that I almost never remembered my dreams, and I was never sure why. But recently I read an article that said that when you are sleep-deprived (like I was throughout college,) your body skips lighter sleep, when dreams occur, and goes straight into deep sleep. So I figure that I wasn't remembering many of my dreams because I wasn't really having very many. So now that I have to get to work every morning, I actually go to sleep at a decent time, and can usually squeeze in 7 or 8 hours. As a result, I have a virtual cornucopia of dreams every night. Some of the most recent ones I can remember are getting my tongue pierced with a hammer and chisel, being chased through a park by two lions (one male and one female), and driving around the city in plastic Playskool cars. I like to see them as making up for 5 years of lost dreams.
Here's something that I was wondering about as I drove to work today: when I'm by myself, to save gas, I tend to drive with the windows open rather than use the air conditioner. The problem is that with the wind blowing through the open windows, I have to turn the radio up really high in order to hear it. So my question is: am I destroying my hearing by doing this? It seems that either the sound of the super-loud wind or the super-loud radio would be harmful to my hearing. Or do the two super-loud sounds somehow magically cancel each other out like matter and anti-matter, sparing me a lifetime of hearing aids?
Well, I think that was incoherent enough.
Oh, before I go, as an experiment in "Why Does Google Like My Page So Much?" I'm including a link to Albert Kuo. He has a super awesome page. His name is Albert Kuo.

I totally know what you mean about the dreams. It's always surprising what elements of your life find their way into dreams. I once had a dream where another part of my personality was symbolized by a senior just-graduated CS chick who will go unnamed. I kinda want to record them but then I lose motivation sometime after brushing and driving to work.
