What a weekend! I feel like I need a couple days off just to recover from it!
Last night Lisa and I went to the World Cafe Live! to see Katie Melua (pronounced MEL ah wa). We both expected a dive. Tons of people pushed together in a seedy little bar. We were very wrong. The World Cafe Live is in a new building and it’s spacious and modern and lovely. The atmosphere was more of a restaurant than anything. The people who were in the audience were older and everyone sat in their seats and grooved to her music. Seeing and hearing Katie in person isn’t much different than listening to her recorded music. It’s sounds almost exactly the same. She is absolutely beautful and I couldn’t get over what she has accomplished in her 22 years. I think it’s about talent and drive. Few people have both qualities. The one thing I found funny is she went through a bunch of guitars. Reminded me of a Rick Springfield concert I went to years ago in which after each song he’d throw his guitar backstage and another guitar would be thrown back at him. The thing is, Katie apparently studied under the great guitarist, Danny Bonaduce. All she seemed to do was hold it and strum it every now and then. Strange. Regardless of the her subdued guitar playing, her music moves me. Her voice sounds like an angel.
Sunday seemed to last forever. I think it’s because I got up extra early and was in constant movement the entire day. When I finally went to sleep, I had the most incredible dreams of a future on a different planet. The dream was long and full of detail. Even in my dream I was amazed. Houses could collapse and expand, people were able to change their size, the night sky was full of stars and floating ships.
I am feeling the beginnings of a reoccurance of vertigo. I noticed it yesterday when I went to find friends who were coming to visit me but had gotten lost. I got in my car to find them and lead them back to the donnavilla. On my way to find them, I found myself feeling very light-headed. Definitely not a good feeling to have while driving. At some point last night, I awoke and when I got up, I felt the room spin around me. Then this morning, I leaned back and let my head rest on the back of my office chair. Immediately I felt the room swirl. I guess I am going to have to start doing those Brandt-Daroff Exercises again.
We are 13.7 billion light-years from the edge of the observable universe,
That’s a good estimate with well-defined error bars,
Scientists say it’s true, but acknowledge that it may be refined,
And with the available information, I predict that I will always be with you
A competent physical therapist can perform a technique to re-distribute the fluids in your inner ear to their proper place. It works wonders.
My father-in-law suffered severe vertigo episodes until my wife performed this treatment on him. It provided complete relief for him.
You wrote this note just so I could make mention of my favorite event, the “Big Bang”. Naughty Donna.
Latest theory coming from the know-it-all Stephen Hawkings types is that “in the beginning” the universe was about the
size of a marble. In one trillionth of a second, it expanded
to MILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS IN DIAMETER.
Wrap your puny little minds around that one, earthlings.
Now I thought my vertigo was caused by my inner ear– the truth is I am suffering from Vertigo because I TRIED TO WRAP MY PUNY LITTLE MIND around the Big Bang theory! Silly me! 🙂
I have been going through some vertigo for the last few weeks. I think it’s my allergies because today I was sneezing all day and then my ear started bother me and some vertigo set in. If you have allergies it might be that. It’s the only thing I can think of for my own. It does suck when things are spinning, doesn’t it!!!!

I could have sworn I deamed the other night that my ceiling was dripping. Of course it DOES drip.
I have dreamed recently that all the stuff on my bed was arranged neatly, instead of the mess that it usually is.
Are there exercises for the imagination?

I’ve always had crazy dreams. At one point, I kept a dream journal to document them. As I became older, my dreams became fewer and they also lost most of the weirdness. They are still somewhat crazy, if I remember them but definitely not worthy of a dream journal.
