I had a dream that I went to D.C. to hear the Eldred argument
and also dropped by a party to celebrate it. This dream is
strangely realistic -- except that the Supreme Court in my dream
was incredibly informal (they invited people from the gallery
to come up and talk to them about the case, for example, and
to call them by their first names) and the party was held in
a warehouse which looked kind of like the apartment building
in Brooklyn where my friend Micah lives.
My dream Supreme Court was definitely going to reverse the court
below, if only because the Solicitor General in my dream had
hardly found anything good to say about the CTEA. Adsit
omen!
The Katzdot service at
Crummy today asked:
Can Online Flamers Stop The Digital Music Industry?
Well, can they?
I went over to a party put on by Sumana and Nandini at which people
could meet their parents. I brought along my copy of
Set, but we
didn't play Set there. I did play Set by myself on the way over,
to practice. (I think I could devise a strategy which "leverages",
as business people say, the fact that my visual perception sees
certain similarities more readily than others. If I organize my
search for sets so that I look first at combinations of cards
which are particularly likely to yield sets and particularly easy
for me to group visually in relevant ways, I can probably speed
things up a bit.)
On the way back from the party, I got to chat with
Leonard a bit.
I've having a great deal of trouble with my arm injuries again.
Something interesting and (temporarily) secret happened at work.
My plush python is on its way.
