Interesting heading, right? :D
So anyway, I mentioned in an email I've been devouring alot of Phillip K. Dick lately. You might say I'm addicted, which is ironic given his many psyche elevating injestions. I was watching a DVD about him called the Gospel According to Phillip K. Dick in which friends and collegues were discussing his mystic awakening and a thing he called "the pink beam"
(which was, according to Dick himself, either a Soviet telepathy beam which he happened to be in the right state of mind to recieve, alien transmissions into his brain, or his personal hallucination) when I dozed off. Startled awake, I crawled to bed, fell promptly asleep, only to awaken a short time later feeling like a thousand bugs were crawling on me. I pulled myself together, fell back to sleep, only to start dreaming of
androids programmed to think they were people, oppressive government agencies, and some really amazing Greatful Dead music.
My wife tried to shake me awake, but apparently I muttered something about "not now I'm tripping" and fell back to sleep. Mind you I've never done a serious drug in my life. Hmmm...maybe I was channeling PKD :wink:
Anyway, I think its time to move on to less disturbing literature. Maybe
something ligh like Lovecraft...
