Picked up Animal Crossing again after a long absence. If you'd like to dream about my island, I'm at DA-7179-3119-0418.

Reply with your codes if you'd like me to dream about you. :3

Once there was a bear

Who got so thirsty

He drank a whole lake

Then he did a big burp

Ever think how wild it is that the Lego company green-lit a movie that equated their building instructions with fascism

Yeah, I'm pretty much a Picross master. Chicken Counting, Shoot the Nose, Granny's Cottage -- I know all the tricks.

I swear to god, an alien just forced John into a cage and forced him to fight an invisible creature named Invisibo.

🎵 Where did he go
That Invisibo 🎵

What if I just set up a tent in my living room

What if I DID that

Okay, I've been pretty down on the app, but it does have one cool feature. When you register your sets, it starts giving you suggestions for level designs using the pieces that you have, that's pretty neat.

I remember playing Harvest Moon on Game Boy, and one of the items you buy to recover stamina is green tea, and I just remember watching that animation of the little farmer guy chugging it and thinking "Damn, that must be refreshing."

I still think of that whenever I drink it. |3

Well, that and Coffee Talk. One of the drinks is called Cough Syrup: green tea, lemon, honey. Which is how I usually take it. |3

I have been finishing the night with really sore feet since about Christmas, and I've been trying to self-diagnose where it's coming from and what to do about it, and last night it all just inexplicably seemed to go away.

The only thing I can think that's different is that the weather started warming up, and now I'm wondering, am I at that age where I'm starting to develop body complaints that shift with the weather? 🤔

TLDR version:

Researchers interacted with sleeping subjects through audio, light, and touch cues. Subjects responded through eye and facial movements. There were 57 sessions. In some unpublished number of those sessions, the subjects confirmed they were lucid dreaming. In 47% of the lucid dreaming sessions, the subject answered at least one question posed to them correctly.

So this is neat. Communicating with people in REM sleep:

Of course, my mind jumped immediately to Inception and the idea of shared dreams, but it doesn't seem to be quite that sophisticated.

Not yet anyway. :3

I've got all of the Legos built and sorted and tucked away into neat little boxes, and now my inner hoarding beast is napping contentedly. |3
