the last arrow in my quiver of whimsy

so while i'm packing up the whole rest of the house to be moved to a different house in pittsburgh, i've been having bythos shuffle through a mix of every audio file that's on one of my external drives (zilveritas). since he imported every audio file, not just full length mp3s, there's quite a few oddities in there. one is this: i have used the freeware program audacity to edit songs from time to time, and i occasionally have saved an audacity project without having completed my edits. the way that audacity appears to save the project is as a series of .au files that are 5 second snippets taken from the original file, in order. bythos imports these .au files, which means i have hundreds and hundreds of little 5 second clips strewn about with my songs. they're short so i don't often mind when they pop up. anyhow bythos just played a 27 second mp4 file that i recorded myself at margot's new year's eve 2007/08 concert at schuba's in chicago of the best part of skeleton key and immediately followed that with a 5 second clip of the same part of the same song from a different live recording from the very same venue but in january of 2009 (i didn't make this recording and i don't think i was at this concert [but i could be wrong]). because that's what bythos does.

so here's a thing. i just went back to look at my entries around january 23 2009 to try to remember if i went to a margot concert that night.
and i found an entry i had totally forgotten about. (isn't half the reason we write these things here for ourselves to remember?)

if you read the entry, you'll see that in a dream i predicted that my next girlfriend's name would be judy. my next girlfriend after that is now my wife. and her middle name is judith. that's a close enough coincidence for me. i will have to pay more attention the answers i give to waiters in my dreams from now on.

i stayed up pretty late the night before that dream, being a nite owl, and listening to margot on vinyl and time travelling, which should explain my predictive powers in my dream.

i'm now really looking forward to 2022. i've always wanted to go to christmas island.

i don't think i quite envisioned this.
