Sorry for the server confusion last night and this morning, and perhaps a little longer. Short version of the story is that some upstream nameservers got moved around and it messed with DNS for many of the machines in the cage. They appear to be slowly becoming accessible again, variant largely on the way your local network is caching DNS requests as far as I can tell.
Things are nicer underwater. I like the way things look underwater. I like the way it feels to be totally surrounded by water and not having to use my body to support weight. I like the way objects move, both intentionally and with the current, underwater. I like the way things sound underwater. I like the feeling of extreme loneliness coupled with extreme connectivity with the universe that's easiest to experience underwater.
I was watching freediving videos and I wondered how long I could hold my breath. When I was a teenager I could hold my breath for four or five minutes without any real effort (I used to do it to pass the time on the late bus home from school)… Anyway, as of this morning that has dropped to a pretty pathetic 2:15 (albeit that's no preparation, just “let's start… now!”), although I'm pretty sure I could push that to about 3:30 with a bit of effort and practice.
The last two nights I've been woken up by a person lying next to me writhing in pain. I wake up and I roll over to try and adjust my leg and I have a temporary megafright as I stare into this distorted face, like some Picture of Dorian Gray for pain rather than sin. As my brain realizes it's awake the figure disappears fairly quickly, but it makes me wonder what I dream about. I mean, is it weird if I'm dreaming about some imaginary doppelgaenger that I dump illusory pain into until the real pain overwhelms my ability to do that? It's like being mean to your imagination or something.
