Yesterday morning I had a fascinating dream. In it I came upon myself when I was a kid and I remember older me (ie the me I was in the dream) apprehensive about talking to him because... I don't know why actually. Maybe I was worried about breaking the space/time continuum or some such thing. We weren't alone either, I recall there being lots of other people. My mum was there too and she knew who old and young me were.

Anyway, young me noticed old me. He talked to my mum and wanted to know who I was, then came over to talk to me. I can't recall most of what he said, except that he told me he had watched Star Trek: Lost Planets on television last night (I have no idea what Star Trek: Lost Planets is, or if it even exists). I recall old me thinking 'oh my god, this is so typical of me' when he mentioned star trek.

This entire dream occured in the space of five minutes in the morning after Oui woke me up and I finally got up to iron his shirt for work. Isn't the mind an amazing thing?

I'm a huge lover of Waltzing Matilda, which teaches that if you get caught stealing a sheep suicide is the only option.

The version on the right is sung by John Williamson, a popular country singer in Australia, and features images which are supposedly very Australian. I have to confess I really enjoy this version and even back in the old days when I played trumpet in my various ensembles the song was always a favourite.

Last friday evening I ordered World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade from topshop.com.au for my brother. I specifically selected them because both he and they are in Australia but grew concerned when I saw that my order has not shipped by last night, so I email them. The response from them today was that due to the credit card being from a 3rd party (it was Oui's as I don't have one) the order was on hold and they needed local contact details. I get that they would find it curious, but if they allow that kind of thing it can't be too uncommon. The thing that shits me the most is that they waited for me to contacted them instead of being proactive and calling me. Maybe I'm only incensed because I'm waiting to play WoW with my brother.

I've just come across one rather irritating thing about Drupal - the default .htaccess. The default .htaccess won't allow access to any subfolders or to any file other than index.php. In a situation like mine, where addon domains are put in subdirectories to your main site and your main site is running drupal, this would cause them to be completely inaccessible. They won't even respond to a ping. It's all fixed now though it was quite irritating at the time.
