Finally got to went to bed after 0330 and just woke up now. Had a funky dream which involved a game of football made with a ball made from recently-chewed gum. I forget who I was playing with though.

You know you've had little sleep when, despite have 220 people on your flist, only 7 new entries appear between sleeping and waking.

I meant to post this the other day:
As a result of the Civil Parnership leglislation coming into effect, many other Acts are going need to be modified in order to include them. Going back over 125 years, some of the amended Acts include:

Explosive Substances Act 1883
Law of Distress Amendment Act 1908
Limitation (Enemies and War Prisoners) Act 1945
Statistics of Trade Act 1947
( a few more )
More reading at http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2004/40033-bb.htm

Disclaimer: From the outset, I want to make it clear that I'm very happy with the huge steps towards equality, and I don't want to come across as ungrateful, but...
This is now another reason why I'm not happy with the Civil Parnership as it stands. For starters different-sex couples are not eligible so it creates an Us-Them divide. "You can't have proper marriage, but we'll give you something else to shut you up". One of the reasons given against allowing same sex couples to have a Marriage (under the Marriage Act of 1949) was the alleged arduous task of rewording the legislation. The fact that so many other Acts have been amended thus far blows away that argument.

How's that for a dramatic thing to see on Christmas Eve morning? :-)

10:10 < mattp> I woke from a star trek dream. Oh, the shame.
10:17 < Sandy> lol mattp you should be ashamed ,what happened in the dream?
10:20 < mattp> Sandy: It's hazy now, but Dr Crusher and Riker ended up conjoined at the chest. I forget why, but it was due to an error of some sort made by one of the crew. The result was predicted before it happened too. Maybe I should work on remembering it and submit the script to some fanfic site ;-)

Yesterday was insane. Started off in town in the afternoon and met up with

_phuturatica_,

megashrike,

luger_ ,

wintershox,

westyburger and some others. Had much fun in the park behind Urbis - I'm sure pictures will appear soon.
Evening was spent at Sin City, and it was my first time and it was fantastic. Music was a bit loud, too loud perhaps as I have tinitis and this is the first time it's lasted until the morning after. Was surprised not to see

fruit_boy there, so sent a text message and cajoled him out. Rar. Funky night and so glad I went. Got in at 5am when it was light. Not done that in a while.

It was fab to meet you all, and hopefully we can meet up when I next go to London. (Current plan is next weekend as I'm working in Middlesex on Monday 8th).

HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO A CLASSIC?. I loved that book as a child.

I woke up to a rather debaucherous dream. RudeDreams++ :-)
(A shame the subseuqent dream featured my wife dying as I sat with her in a hospital)

Plan for the day: go out with

softfruit (probably after lunch to a park somewhere), then to

fruit_boy's later in the evening.

Inspiring clicky

The dream involved a global disaster in the form of killer kittens. The kittens were cute and fluffy and cuddly (as they should be) but everyone who made eye contact with them would drop dead. I was one of 3 (I think) people who were for some unexplained reason unaffected by them. We had Star Trek style phasers and had to kill them off :-(

It was a most upsetting way to wake up.

I wonder what this says about me - having to destroy one of my favourite things.

I think this is the first dream I've written about in this journal. I'll try not to make a habit of it.

Anyway, the details:
I dreamt that I had a daughter! Details are hazy - I either didn't know, or now don't remember: her name or my wife / the mother. She'd been dressed in a loose fit pale t-shirt of some sort and I was at a BBQ in what I think was the back garden of a house I nearly rented a few months back. She was perhaps 2 or 3 but still loved to sleep in my arms like a baby.

That's about all I remember.

Had another nightmare about being mugged. This is really starting to get to me.
