...why I don't read backlog.

I've lived far too many lives already.

I read a *little* backlog, but I'm too impatient to read very much. There are three reasons for this:

1. I'm too lazy to do it.

2. I'm impatient

3. I'm too lazy.


Yeah, I feel as if I've lived quite a few lives as well. And that's not counting the dreams, except that sometimes the things I thougfht were real turned out to have been dreams.

That reminds of a book I read.

I'm stubborn and old fashioned, and I've stuck with Perl for years, but it came to the point where I had to learn PHP, so I bought myself a "teach yourself PHP in 21 days" type book.

I started reading it, got about half way through, going well, easy as pi (that is, 3.141592 on a scale of 1 - 10), and then I went to bed, and I dreamt I finished reading the book.

I woke up the next morning, and had no idea which bits I'd really read, and which bits I'd only dreamt I'd read. This was two years ago, and I still haven't learned PHP.

I don't know what Perl and PHP are. Are they computer languages? Music notation systems? Medical procedures?

One time I dreamed that I was Portugese, and was completely fluent in Portugese. When I woke up, I retained no knowledge of Portugese. So, was the Portugese in my dream real, or was it gobbledegook? Alas, I'll never know.
