The Trousers of Time

vovatI think I managed to create a temporal paradox in Animal Crossing. Before you start the game, you can set the clock for your town. After playing the game for a little bit with the clock set to Monday (the actual day at the time), I set it back to Saturday, and then Sunday, so I could participate in the fishing tournament. The thing was, when I started playing on Monday, there was already a note on the town bulletin board telling who had won the fishing tournament, and this note stayed there when I went back in time and changed the outcome of the fishing tournament. When I returned to the present, there were two different messages on the board, giving two different outcomes. Pretty weird, huh? I guess that's something the game designers didn't really think through.
Last night, I had a dream that I was with my family visiting my grandparents, who live in Virginia. Somehow, though, we were all in Texas later on in the dream, and I think Colleen also lived down there. Davey was also there, and he asked me to take him to Missouri, or somewhere like that. I said I would, and some other people were willing to go with me, although my mom didn't want to. At various times, I think these people included my brother and sister, Beth, her cousin Alyssa, and some guys I didn't know, including an annoying college professor. I tried to get in my car, but someone else was driving it, and they weren't very good at it, so they kept driving it in circles. I eventually was able to get in, and then the car started going backwards. Eventually, we weren't in the car, but in a restaurant that served food on conveyor belts. The dream was very cake-intensive; I ate some cake just before leaving the house in Texas (which I think was alternately my aunt's and Colleen's, and had some maids working in it), and there were a lot of cakes being served at the conveyor belt restaurant.
I did some shopping today. At Sears, I bought some new slip-on shoes, which are very similar to my old ones, but are leather instead of suede. They seem a little bigger than my old pair, though, which is weird, since they're both size ten, and they're both from Land's End. I also got the newest Magnetic Fields album at Best Buy, but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. I DIDN'T buy a Nintendo T-shirt from Hot Topic, although I wanted to. Actually, I wanted ALL of them, except a few where I don't like the captions. (What's the deal with that Mega Man one that says, "Say hello to my little guy," or something along those lines?)
Transferring my number from my old wireless service (where I'm on my dad's plan) to the new one seems so complicated that I might just go ahead and get a new number. Maybe I'll go ahead and get the phone a week or two before my dad's plan expires, so I can leave a message alerting anyone who calls (yeah, right {g}) to the new number.
Finally, regarding what everyone's been saying about the Marauders not being identified in Prisoner of Azkaban, I just read an article in Entertainment Weekly that says that the filmmakers thought it would work better if they saved that for another movie. I don't agree, but at least it looks like they won't be ignoring that matter totally (although I suppose it remains to be seen if they actually go through with this plan).
