Sep. 19th, 2005 05:03 amI am feverish and it is raining outside. I've had a nasty cold and sore throat most of the weekend, and have mainly been playing Playstation games and drinking lots of herbal tea and hot toddies.
On the other hand, mild delirium is fun. I came up with a very weird idea for a children's book last night, involving itches, and what they get up to when they're not out making people itch.
Dreams last night included octopi which were large and white and ate anyone who went underwater. Swimming on the surface was fine.
This morning's revelation was that the cycle of fifths going upwards generates a major scale from your starting note (Lydian) whereas if you go in a cycle of fourths, you get a very dark, minor scale.
Further mildly-insane ramblings to follow, I'm sure.
