I was reading about L-Space, before bed, last night, so.. yeah. Dreams of infinitely-dimensional libraries. Also a dream that my mother had taught me how to be a ninja, and that she lived upstairs, from us, in a space that didn't really exist. Also, she was awtching the cat, for us, at one point.

In another section, more of the neighbours were okay, once you got to know them. The external base of the building changed, turning about 90 degrees clockwise, and becoming laid out in a line, rather than a cul-de-sac. People on their motorcycles had parked Way too close, and I was constant ly in danger of hitting them. One of the waitresses from Le Vortex was there.

I forgot to mention, last night, that we went to [livejournal.com profile] bakeneko's party, yesterday, and it was very nice. Got to see a lot of people, and aet a lot of good food. We hadn't seen the new backyard, yet, so that was pretty cool.

You know what's not pretty cool? When the RIAA allows legislation to be psased to make it extremely inconvenient to sell something that You Own. That's right, as [livejournal.com profile] mech_angel told me, last night, the RIAA has had laws passed in several stats that makes selling your used CDs to record stores harder than getting a driver's license, and imposing a thirty day waiting period on stores, before they can sell the merchandise that they've bought. Also? You wouldn't get money. You'd get store credit.

Read the article. This is some dangerous legislation, and No One Is Talking About It. You call or write your Congresperson, and you threaten them with votes. Care about and do something about something. Otherwise, stop complaining.

This is ridiculous.

Time for breakfast.

Other than the fact that I've been dreaming about epic/mundane revolutionary battles of ideas, and the downtime, there-between, not so much, at the moment.

i did just see a news story about a sacred cow of the hindus in wales being up for slaughter because it has TB and the hindu community protesting about it and refusing to kill the cow and pointing out that much of the UK hindu community would be personally insulted if it was killed, and the welsh environmental health lot just kept saying "but it's got TB!!!" that may have done it?!

Entirely possible. Nice, depressing metaphor, there, too.

I thought the RIAA was trying to save the music CD industry, not give people even more reason to just download all their songs illegally.

You know, that's what they SAY, but I'm pretty sure they just want to make a lot of money, as consistently as possible, and if the system breaks? Fuck it, and fuck anybody that gets hurt, in the process.

Another parallel to Pratchett's Going Postal, there.
