I dream of Ladykracher
Category: dreams
Since I started at Roswell I've been having so many jumbled dreams.

The other night I had a dream that we were in Provincetown on the beach with Emily and Catherine. When it was time to go I turned around and they both had turned into Ladykracher, the German comedian. We rode away on our bikes into Hamburg, when Ladykracher's robot Jambox (aka Jambot says (e:terry)) jumped out of her bag. She ran around trying to catch it while traffic was swerving around her. The jambot's voice was so cute.

Yesterday night I dreamt about programming an automated KitchenAid mixer. It had 3d printing capabilities, except instead of plastic it printed out Girl Scout cookies. So convenient! It was revolutionary. I can't remember the rest.

I dream a lot about speaking German and German things. I also dream a lot about programming. And I almost always always dream about (e:paul) and (e:terry).

I wonder if I've been dreaming more because I've been utilizing more of my brain in the past month.

Apparently it could from eating before bed. The British Cheese Board claims cheese makes you dream.

Peanut butter birthday
Category: birthday
So I am 23 as of yesterday! I'm getting ancient! Wenig Hundchen, mehr Hund. Blahf.

(e:Paul) and (e:terry) got me a peanut butter cake last night along with amazing nut butters. Yum.

Today Paul and I ditched work early to go to the Squeaky Wheel film festival. We met up with Emily, Catherine, (e:Heidi) and (e:Dianne). After we went home to play bocce ball.

Emily and Catherine got me this bootylicious wine bag that was actually full of rum.

I heard from a lot of people I hadn't talked to in a while.

I don't feel any different but its one step closer to being in my mid twenties and I don't know how I feel about that.

I had an awesome time today. Thanks errybody.

Giant hogweed
Category: plants
I had never heard of this plant before, but tonight my mom warned me to look for this on our hikes. It's a giant plant that looks similar to Queen Anne's lace when in bloom, but with a sap that will destroy your skin. These pictures from the DEC show a leg burned by the sap. Their map shows that there are tons of reported sightings in Erie County. If you find one, you're supposed to report it so they can document and eliminate it. I want to keep an eye out for them now.

Wikipedia says the toxin is furocoumarins, which enters your cells nucleus, bonds with the DNA, and kills the cell. Feel like going camping now (e:mike)?

Just when I thought I had enough to worry about when I’m constantly on the lookout for snakes. I should just avoid nature all together now.

Analog party
Category: technology

Not only did we get a Polaroid at Emily's friend's party, we listed to records. Ben Folds, Temple of the Dog, and more modern St. Vincent. It was the most analog night of my existence.

I can't decide if I don't remember how long poloroids take to develop, or if the film was old and it really takes 10 minutes. It seems so insane considering we all had phones.
