Ho hum. World of Computers has furnished me with a replacement hard disk, but were sadly unable to recover any of my data from the old one (not actually surprisingly), so now I get to start the CD-ripping process all over again. What joy, what fun, what an absolute pain in the wossnames.

After a weekend of generally bad sleep, I managed to outdo myself last night with what felt like an all-night-long extended dream which made no sense at all. It involved plots, intrigue, a murder mystery, a lot of driving the wrong way along traffic ramps, at least two parallel universes, and a whole section of the night sky that nobody but me could see (at least partly because it was kept in a cupboard, but even when I opened the cupboard other people denied seeing anything inside it). I was almost disappointed when I woke up, because I wanted to know what would have happened in the end! Silly subconscious.
