Strange Dreaming and Loneliness

I had a strange dream last night that was frightening and somewhat painful and made me lonely, and today was nice and full of things to do and people to spend time with, but I never quite shook off the lonely and the dream. I'm hoping that tonight I won't dream at all, and that tomorrow I'll be so caught up in reading for my paper that I won't notice that this has been an emotional weekend for me. Academia can fulfill me for a while, right?

On a lighter note, www.virtualnes.com has old Nintendo games that you can play online on your computer. I'm not as coordinated with keyboard keys as I was with a controller, but I've been having a grand and frustrating time trying to get Mario and Ms. Pac-Man and the Paperboy to do what I want. They even have Lemmings! Not that I remember how to play at all, but still. Fun!
