Prison, Penguins and Poltergeists

I talked to a co-worker about my prison/illegal activity dreams and according to the dream dictionary, I’m having issues of feeling trapped, or oppressed. That’s interesting. Sort of. I don’t know how accurate that is, but it’s interesting.

What to talk about today. I’m back at work after two days off. My weekends are entirely too short. This coming weekend is Victoria Day long weekend, so I have Monday off. Then after one regular week, I have another long weekend. I’m rather looking forward to my long weekends. Boy is doing laundry on Monday so I’ll have clean clothes, though he’s doing some tomorrow to ensure I make it to then. I totally forgot yesterday. I lead such an exciting life.

Today’s Aunty Acid calendar quote is funny. “Three out of the four voices in my head want to sleep…the other wants to know if penguins have knees. I wonder if they do. Apparently they do according to the New England Aquarium’s site. Learn a new thing every day.

I finished watching all the episodes of The Dead Files. I know that they put only the most exciting cases on but how many ghosts can there be that want to kill the living? Then I got to wondering if I’m making imprints, residuals, on the places that I live. I have gone through some very trying times (as have most people) and I wonder if some of my emotional issues are (or have been) left behind to bother some poor sucker after I’ve departed this mortal coil. Would I become a conscious entity (more conscious than I usually am) in some place that I’ve lived in? It’s interesting to contemplate.

Found A New Show

It's called The Dead Files. It involves a psychic and a retired NYPD homicide detective. The two go out and help people who are having paranormal issues. The premise of the show is the two of them doing independent investigations. She has a cameraman (and crew I assume, since they also show him shooting her with a little video cam) who goes to the sites to take down or cover up personal photos, mirrors, etc. that she says may distract the reading of the house. Sometimes she sits down with an artist to sketch out some of the entities she sees. The cop does what a cop does, talks to witnesses, worried home owners, historians, and does news/library research into the property where the issues are happening. Then, the two get together at the end of the show and merge their research. If They don't share information, then the show is pretty good. Anyway, I'm rather enjoying it and it's way better than the ghost hunters that run around starting at shadows and asking each other what that noise was. She make no pretense of that, they don't show "ghosts" and she actually recommends that people don't go searching out ghosts and that. Basically her attitude is that the shades can be gotten rid of, let the dead stay dead and don't fuck with what you don' know. Now, it's off to bed for Bonzo. I have to work day shifts this weekend.
