A street named after poison

azuriteWeird dream. The brain is the greatest mystery, I think. Forget space and the oceans, brains are just weird. I was walking down an avenue in San Francisco, in the hilly area not too far from Ocean Beach. But what was weird was that the scenery looked like I was on the southern streets (like Balboa or Cabrillo), but something in my head just told me I'm on Clement. And I arrive at this intersection (and I think I was with someone, either a friend, Dad, or Scott) and there's a store that says "YU-GI-OH!" and nothing else, so of course I get a bit excited and decide to go in. Also, lining the corner where the store is are a bunch of cardboard cut-outs of the characters, and the one that was closest to the sidewalk "ramp" was a manga image of Anzu! And Kaiba was next to her in that Battle Suit outfit of his. I think there may have been a mix of anime and manga images, but they were all big (slightly larger than life-size) and in color.
Just as we crossed the street, I noticed something odd-- the street name (the one going horizontal; the one in front of us; the one I was crossing) was one I know San Francisco doesn't have-- Cyanyda. And I remember thinking "That seems like 'Cyanide,' and that's a weird name for a street."
What's weird is that the store is HUGE-- I'm talking converted-supermarket-huge. To the right as I walked in was a small deli (!), and I remember saying "No," I don't want a turkey sandwich, but do they have beef salami? I haven't had salami in ages. There were a few cashier checkstands too, but the left side of the store was the fun stuff- tons of comics, most of them not even Yu-Gi-Oh. It was like someone took C&C Central and multiplied it by 4 or 5. There were displays in the middle, card cases, posters-- everything. It was like a convention's dealers' room.
I kind of like to analyze my dreams and figure out where all the parts came from-- I think the giant Yu-Gi-Oh store with all its goods may have come fromlittlekuriboh
I think I got a pretty good night's sleep, though I seem to remember waking up a few times and being surprised at the early hour. It's now 10:44am, but I have nothing to do until 1pm when I start work... My shoulder's still a bit sore, but hopefully a warm shower and some stretches will help.
I think I'll have cereal loaded with berries for breakfast. Yum. :)
ETA: Why is it schools are only figuring this out *NOW*?! Also, who was the expert DDR player who taught the kiddies how to groove? *grin* Anyone I know, maybe? Hehe. Now if only I could convince the Game Room at CSUN to bring back DDR!
ETA 2: Well, Ben got back to me with my floppy recovery disk-- I was surprised he did it so quickly. There was a good amount of data on the CD that recovered the floppies, but not what I was hoping-- the old Blue Reflections archives from when I used greymatter. There *was* my old Japanese Powerpoint presentation, notes from that same class, several copies of my Digital Horizon work, and some corrupt images, including some from the Greymatter updates blog. Alas! But let's hope I can do a data recovery from the old computer at Mom's, or maybe the old HD that we stole from the Aptiva.
