I had this weird dream just before I woke up this morning. I'm a military brat, so I've been around planes my entire life. Well, in this dream, I was outside, in front of my house, watching a plane fly across the sky. Suddenly the plane stopped and hovered. Not many planes do this, and certainly none non-military, so of course, I knew it was a military plane. It was also carrying something on its back, a la space shuttle type thing. Anyway, this hovering plane slowly turns exactly nose down, pauses for a very brief moment, then plunges to the earth. Somehow, I was seeing this all simultaneously from directly below the nose, and also from a slight angle. Don't ask me - it was a dream. Anyway, as I see it begin to slow down before it turned nose down, I said, "Oh, shit." Then as I watched it hit the ground, in my neighbor's front yard, I was just frozen. Just watching it happen, like I had no sense at all. Fortunately, though I watched the explosion in the neighbor's yard as if it were in slo-mo, I woke up before my dream self was dissolved by the shockwave of the impact. lol Sometimes, I don't know where my mind comes up with this crap. I don't even want to know, for that matter.
The cough I got when I got sick at the first of the year has hung around. Makes me short of breath several times a day, and I'm kinda weaker than usual, but otherwise, I'm getting back to normal.
I have two friend-dates to go see Die Hard 5 opening weekend, and I have another friend-date next Monday to have dinner to celebrate our upcoming birthdays early. I have a $10 gift card for Cheesecake Factory that expires at the end of the month, so we're going to take advantage of it. Love Cheesecake Factory, despite the fact that I do not love cheesecake. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.
I noticed in November that all I was doing on Facebook was liking a bunch of stuff and reading other people's posts, so I decided that I would check out for a while. This was also at least partly in response to changes in FB and their incessant need to change their privacy policies for the worse. Since then, I've been reading a very small list of people whose lives I actually care about, and not liking anything at all, and only posting a comment when I had some actual information to share. Nobody's noticed I'm gone, and I haven't missed FB, so I've decided I'm going to trim down the pages I've liked (I've already trimmed down friends several times) and make what's on my FB pretty basic. I haven't posted anything on my own page since mid-November, and I pretty much plan to keep that up. I guess if somebody wants to know what I'm up to, they can get hold of me some other way. In the meantime, I have more time to obsess about BSG and read BSG porn. Thank the gods for smut!
Last but not least, my Firefox has gotten some kind of freaky thing. When I click on something, a pop-under will randomly open up and redirect me to another page. You might think this would be some kind of actual porn, all things considered, but the redirects are to Amazon, or search pages, or, about 10% of the time, to porn pages. Weird, and unwelcome, and I have not been able to figure out how to get rid of it. It doesn't seem to do anything, other than open a random page in a pop-under. It never redirects the page I'm actually on. At the same time this happened, I get ads randomly on livejournal, over the top of people's pictures, that I have to click closed if I want to see said pictures. Have people begun to monetize their ljs? Has livejournal started doing this to a random selection of people? The two things may or may not even be related. Maybe I should uninstall Firefox and redownload it. ETA: I did uninstall and reinstall, and that fixed the problems.
