Dream Diaries
Went and asked the pub and random bartenders for a job but knew I couldn’t keep it as I lived elsewhere. They taught me to mix ale and something else together and brush it on some sticks and after a while they turned white. This was called whisking. But the varnish areas wouldn’t work. When I was finished they congratulated me at the back and welcomed me to the job. Then I went to Maidstone and went back to Tescos but they had turned into a bar too and I asked for a job because they had new staff but they didn’t really need it so I woke up. All the while I was making commentary on the dream. When I asked for the job I commented that I couldn’t because of where I lived. When I got the job I said it meant I should look for a bar job. And when I asked Tescos I said not to try again. It was like I was conscious watching and commenting on the dream.

I was walking our dog when I walked into the kitchen of someone down the road from my hometown with my mum and the owner of the house. We had some red wine but mixed it with hot water and cocoa because it tasted nicer. We watched TV and an advert came on for Eastenders bringing back the old Ben Mitchell and I saw him smiling with chocolate on his face then the Eastenders duff duffs. Then the main show came up which was a group geese and lots of statues of geese too, the camera panning round them. Then it showed a lake which had some houses in it, and pigs came out of the houses but because they were underwater we were surprised they could breathe. But then they suddenly drowned peacefully without struggle, like they were fine with it. Then I heard, a large voice saying “Now it’s your turn” and everything went dark. Water started dripping from the ceiling and then the ceiling flew off, and all i saw was a top of a fir tree so I jumped onto it, and the rest of the room fell down the tree. I started to climb down the tree, but it was very flexible so it bent down as i was falling. I thought that i was going to fall but got to the floor safely. When I got down, lots of guys came round including some friends from secondary school and two gay guys were interviewing me with a camera and there was a random woman next to me, as she was on my team too, she was interviewed first about the swans and the pigs and then they would turn to me. the guys kept telling me to behave because i was very fidgety and didnt want to be interviewed, and then said just to go through like before. I got confused and started to pass out, I got more and more tired and fell back. the camera swung to me, and my legs and feet started to fade away, then my body and head and everyone was worried what was happening. And then I woke up.
Future of TV
I feel TV should be changed based on how it views its shows. Instead of watching what is channel to be on TV, it should work interactively, you should be able to choose what you want to watch. Of course, they’d still have the same schedule, but shows would only become available at a certain time. Live shows would appear if the viewer wishes to view it, but would have to either catch up later, or start mid way.
Why? Too many shows are being cancelled due to their viewings, but aren’t being counted if viewed online or downloaded. If people choose to watch a show, TV companies can see an more accurate viewing of their statistics and then choose whether to cancel or continue.
How? It could work like Interactive TV and through the Internet. In the UK we have 4OD, iPlayer, ITVplayer etc. They all offer on demand shows. Combine them together with red button interactive TV, and you can choose what you want to watch on each channel. Obviously if you’re tuning into BBC One, you’d only see shows that would appear on BBC One, and ITV could incorporate adverts as they do online and on YouTube. It would be much easier to find exactly what you’re looking for and combining that with Sky would create a TV Guide of what exactly is available on each channel at certain points of the day, or a Search system to help find the channel your show is being viewed on. People would be able to watch live shows and not miss their regular TV slots on other channels. Watershed TV could only be viewed after a certain time. Movies and PPV TV will have to be purchasable within the system.
It could work..

Paradox or just Confusion
Carly Simon’s song, You’re so vain surely should be a paradox? The lyrics:
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
Surely if ‘you’re’ so vain, ‘you’ thinking the song is about ‘you’, means ‘you’ are correct, meaning the lyrics are wrong, and ‘you’ are not vain, for thinking that it is about ‘you’ when it is about ‘you’. And if it isn’t about ‘you’, then ‘you’ can’t be vain, thus the song not directing towards ‘you’. Confused?
(I was listening to The Feeling’s live lounge version)
Innovative Interiors
So I just found this nice little website which features lots of new and innovative ideas for furniture, interiors and architecture, and I’m sharing some of my favourite finds here!
Flat-pack furniture rarely looks quite so contemporary (let alone: remotely comfortable), but this all-in-one messenger bag manages visual appeal while packing an incredible combination: a flip-out work station and fold-up seat.
Stylish and interactive, this kit-of-parts couch, chair and stool system could be easily mistaken for a finished series of furniture designs. Once you know what to look for, though, each interchangeable modular object becomes visually legible on a whole new level.
This award-winning designer layout by Frank Guo features a space-dividing partition that doubles as a holding tank for water warming up while you wait to hop into the shower. When the user is ready and the water warm, they can push a button to switch modes and begin showering.
Set next to the sink, you simply rinse after you eat and (instead of leaving it linger in the basin or partially filling a full-sized washer) drop it down into the convenient space next to it. Maybe not great for guests, but most of the time a stellar and simple little alternative.
