Civilization is the shared moniker for a set of games that have been trapping my attention for the last few days. Patrick had been playing Civ II on his laptop at my apartment, and I started to feel kind of envious. After seeing in one of Tanner's away messages that he too has been spending lots of time playing, I downloaded FreeCiv (long live open source) and have engrossed myself in it. There's something sort of empowering about seeing Polish howitzers take out a group of Singaporean musketeers. Empowering and very addicting.

I dreamed the other night that Blake and I were debating in a posh hotel conference room, but that we were disqualified after he took 45 minutes for the first speech without realizing it. I read some of my notes before I made fun of one of my competitors. Last night I dreamt that my brother and I went to one of the sketchy little discount sales at the fairgrounds. There were a pack of high school girls with messages written to me on their shirts. In both of them I could read with no problems.

I want so badly to believe that there is truth and love is real.
