***Journal Entry 7/1/09***
...I had a dream last night...
Somewhere/time in the not too distant future, I finally get my grubby paws on AE...load it up...listen to the stirring intro music...get a tingling sensation on the back of my sweaty neck...check out the scenarios list...BAH! Straight to the campaign game, man! Scenarios are for people with lots of time on their hands to learn the system, divine the path, perhaps get to know a few maneuver ratings...I'm going to grok the entire essense, take the red pill and find out how deep the rabbit hole goes...options page? We don't need no steenkn options page...onward, man, onward! Setting up the initial forces...the mouse is a blur...numbers, symbols, unit lists flash by in a cacophony of images...I'm a maestro, I'm the ultimate Geppetto, I'm...I'm...I'm astronaunt Bowman turn Starchild! Suddenly, I'm screaming..."Banzai/Infamy, Banzai/Infamy, Banzai/Infamy!!!"...from out of no where, a Tokyo Rose/Rosie Riveter hybrid begins punching me in the ribs...I wake up in a sweat...It's my wife...I go back to sleep, but rest doesn't come...

(this long weekend can't start too soon...*sigh*)

Do NOT listen to Canoerebel. He has wandered off the post, is AWOL. Bue he will be back, and right with the world, before too much longer.

Is that what you call "self-abuse" these days?

My dream was similiar. I get AE, load it, set up the first turn.....and then my computer dies.

I wake up screaming, bathed in sweat and I soon develop a number of new bruises.

"YOU WOKE ME UP FOR THAT!!!!"

I had trouble logging on to this web site early this morning and was hopping (in vain it turned out) it was down because the game had finally been released and the site crashed from everybody trying to download it.

To prepare I've been watching "Run Silent Run Deep". My wife is amused that I've replaced the bathroom lights with red bulbs and keep yelling "Dive, Dive" while in the shower.

Actually that was a suggestion that got "The Look" when I brought it up. Well, it could have been fun
