Since Mondays have been giving me trouble, I figured I’d change the WCFQ to Sunday. I also moved my webnovel updates to their own module to the right, so that’ll be up all the time now. This week’s webnovel update is a little shorter than usual, but I didn’t have time to wrap it up before I got sick on Thursday, so… sorrys. I’m still kind of sick, but feeling much better. The worst part was a sore throat for three days. I was getting really sick of sipping water and running to the bathroom every hour. When I get a bad sore throat, it’s like a headache in the base of my skull. I can hardly function. I feel dizzy and it’s hard to focus my thoughts. Weird headaches like that make me worry about viral Meningitis. Informative commercials about disease make me paranoid…..
Last night, on a cocktail of Nyquil and Tylenol PM, I had the weirdest dream. Somehow I was working for the government as some kind of gladiator/assassin, but when I told them I wanted to quit, they took all my stuff away. I was in a grocery store with friends and when I came back home, all of my things were either repossessed or destroyed and they’d evicted me from my apartment. There were torn up clothes and ripped up books all over the place. My friend said it was alright. I could stay with him, then offered me a copy of the Necronomicon as a present. I woke up with the song “Help, Help” by Pearljam repeating in my head.

March 29th
The Bobo people of Africa believe the equilibrium of the sun, rain, and soil is upset every time humans farm. Each year, they masquerade in special costumes and painted masks, begging the intermediary god to correct the balance, banish evil, and bring rain.
This is the date of a festival in honor of Ishtar in Babylon.

Hmm, maybe your dream has something to do with your job with Borders. You want to quit but you’re afraid you’ll lose all your possessions and be poor (that’s a legitimate fear in this economy). Maybe you’ll find a solution to this problem with your friends and Necronomicon (?). Haha, who knows….
