i just woke up. i had the strangest dream. i dreamt that i found three vultures eating another vulture in my back yard. the vultures had had a nest on top of my house. one of the vultures had given birth (? — not an egg — i guess i need to brush up on biology) to a pretty disgusting looking fetus-like bird. both were covered some sort of yellow birth slime. the three vultures were pecking at and eating the dead mother, but the baby was still breathing, just barely, and its eyes were fluttering open periodically.
i was disgusted by the scene, and i went inside. i didn’t know what to do about the baby bird. then i went back outside, and my dog had come around from the front yard and killed the baby bird. it made a strange sound when it died, kind of like a devil screaming.
hmm.

when i woke up, i also remembered a URL that from waaay back that i was trying to remember last night when i found the Internet Archive (see yesterday). i recalled the URL in that strange space between sleep and wakefulness, when i seem to be able to remember things i otherwise can’t, when i have access to useful, little insights that normally elude me. well, it was www.uni.uiuc.edu/csproj3/ — this silly thing i did for a dumb Computer Science class in freshman year of high school. check it out — it’s a great view of a surly, angsty teenager’s take on the world in 1995ish HTML and graphics.
