Aha! Thanks to the internet and far more time spent thinking about this than is merited, the penny finally dropped. The girl in my dream of a few nights ago whom I was sure was an actress of some type has turned out to be Marisa Tomei. She appeared in my nightscape circa her “A Different World” days.

A couple of meta things:


  • Woo me! I have entries for over half the days of the month this month (ok, so just barely, and just by one, but still!). This is even after my tiff with the blog for eating an entry and my spiteful week of non-posting, so I’m quite proud. Granted, the dream journal really pads those numbers out a lot, but there’s some meat to be found even excluding that.
  • As of last week, I’m now pinging weblogs.com whenever I post a new entry. I don’t see that it has generated extra hits, but it’s kind of cool anyways. Feels like an announcement : hey, new stuff! It works about half the time, though, sometimes giving me a freaky error that may have more to do with them being overburdened than with issues on my end. I know I said I wouldn’t do this until I had finished posting to the past, but I’ve kind of dropped the ball on that. I haven’t posted any of the older entries since March, so I figure it’s ok to go ahead with the weblogs ping.
  • No one ever asked to be notified on new entries, so instead I’m using that feature to notify ME of when new comments show up. Because people can comment on any entry, no matter how old, I was sometimes not seeing the comments for ages and ages, and the software doesn’t include and easy way for me to browse the latest comments (though I wish it did) so I’ll be glad to get a heads up when people leave comments. However, I’m not sure it’s working, as I think I set it up before I asked for comments on the American Apology t-shirt and didn’t get emails about that, but I could just be misremembering.
  • I still have plans of things I’d like to add to the site. I have some leftover luscious graphics from Wyldkyss that I haven’t yet added to the site, and of course I’d like to reconstruct my list of links, as right now I just have the default list that comes with nucleus over on the left: daypop, weblogs and nucleus. I also haven’t completely finished looking at the list of add-ons for the software I’m using. The calendar (one of the add-ons I managed to work in so far) is fantastic, as it gives me a glanceable sense of how much (or little) I’m writing in the current month. It also encourages me, as seeing the days without links makes me more aware of when I neglect the blog. I think I’d like to fiddle with the calendar some and include it on some of the other pages, but I haven’t made up my mind about that. At any rate, plenty of ambitious plans in the works. If anyone has some spare time to donate to my cause, I’d be most grateful.

Dream bits. I dreamed about nursing, so that’s fair warning for the squeamish.
