Haunted Houses & Frankenstorms

I had an interesting and unexpected dream this morning that was somewhat inspired by Supernatural. I was in this old haunted house with some people I can't remember... and it was our job to find a certain spirit or entity that was hiding. I can't remember if I was even myself, but we walked around for a while looking for this thing - and then I found this portion of wall where there was a door on one side and no door on the other. 

So I shouted to my partner - whoever it was - "I think I found it!" I watched a guy go in and kind of waited for him to scream bloody murder or something.. but nothing happened.
We were about to approach the door, but as we did, the lights shut off, and my partner said that the electricity gets shut off at 8 PM (because it's an old house). So I/we were freaked out... we didn't want to chase this thing in actual darkness. The scene switched, though, and I was with my parents and this odd older couple. I don't know what the heck we were doing but I had the impression Merida from Brave was involved. There was blood involved, too. Woke up.

I don't know enough detail to dissect this one, so I'll just shrug it off in the meantime. Woke up to find it still cold and gusty outside (35 degrees...) and overcast. Yay. Not only that, though. I look up the weather and find that almost 9 MILLION people are out of power up north. 

WOW.

I mean, damn. I've heard of maybe a few hundred thousand without power... maybe up to a million for cases like Katrina, but 8.9 million?! Jesus. And not only that - Sandy's kicked up blizzard conditions for a good portion of the north. It's such a huge storm that its winds are affecting all states east of the Mississippi river. 

This is poetic, guys. What's cool is that at one point - I don't know if it still applies - Sandy's shape was a near-perfect Fibonacci spiral. You know why I LOVE that so much? Because Johannes Kepler (astronomer/mathematician) once wrote something about the golden ratio (including spirals) that is oh-so-perfect for this situation: that the golden mean represents "the Creator's intention to create like from like."

Isn't that awesome? It doesn't get any more poetic than that. It's a pure reflection! A big ol' superstorm tearing the northeast - the center of our chaos - a new one? Creating like from like? And to emphasize this.. I was watching the weather a few days ago when Sandy was still in our neck of the woods, and the guy was explaining how she/it was expected to take a hard turn toward the northeast. You know what he said? "We've never seen this kind of a hard turn before." 

I am very amused. Well. I'm not amused for the people who are without power and freezing up there, but you get my point. 

I was a little sad that I couldn't see the full moon last night. It was cloudy, but judging by the fact that it made the clouds this eerie bright greenish-blue tint, it was beautiful and luminous. 

Time to chill a bit before school.
