Dreams (cont'd)

I'm not sure what has been going on lately. It's not something I've been eating or drinking before bed, so don't tell me thats what it is... I guess it's just stress, but last night I dreamed about the old apartment and my old roommates. Of course, they still live right across the street and I talk to Tyler about every day, so not reminiscent, but still this dream was weird.

Their landlord recently sold the apartment to another guy, in real life, ask them about it, it's sort of a funny story. But in my dream this new landlord decided that the property was more suited to a nice restaurant than apartments. Without notice, the roommates come home to find this huge steel gate across the entrance, barring them from getting in. So, all four of the guys come to my apartment and crash with all the stuff that isn't left in the apartment. This isn't a good predicament. Meanwhile, the apartment is not torn down, but gutted and by the next time I see the place, there are couples that I can see sitting at fancy tables drinking their wine.

While not as funny in retelling as it was when I woke up this morning, I still wonder whats making me remember these weird dreams.

Dreaming of Jurassic Park

Just call me Booney, I swear, he used to dream about Jurassic Park every other night. Well, I'm in the club now. There's nothing else like waking up realizing you were just hiding from velociraptors in an abandoned warehouse where the air handlers have malfunctioned making it 100+ degrees and 70% humidity. Somewhere between rappelling down the catwalks and running down the crate filled corridors I thought about the absurdity of these giant beasts tracking me down. I wish they would have an existential meltdown and just disappear.

Booney, I hope you read this because we're now partners in dream, next time you should be my companion and bring something good to the dinosaur hunting party in the next dream. Something other than the flashlights that I had to defend myself with last night.

Finally Apprehended

Hot off the presses:
Carmen Sandiago was finally apprehended today in an airport. You can finally put away your 386s and EGA monitors - it's safe to travel the US, world, and time now.













...my secondest post ever!

I love my dress!

I just wanted to pause and take a moment to
remember the wonderful dress I only got to wear once.
*tear*

Lonely.

What is it like to be the last leaf on top of a tree? The world may never know.

Yes, this is exactly what it looks like.

This is Tyler back in June on his birthday at Krispy Kreme. I took him there before church for some sugar and caffeine. Think he liked it? Yes, we both did. He also brought along his DS and played it for a while. Such a kid! : )

Cornbiscuit!

Instructions on having the best of both worlds when dining at Cracker Barrel:

• Divide warm, flaky biscuit in half
• Divide warm, crumbly corn muffin in half.
• Generously spread REAL butter atop each half.
• Place one corn muffin half atop one biscuit half.
• Devour.
• Repeat
  

Zelda - Phantom Hourglass for DS

I'm very excited to say that I've been spending precious study/homework/house cleaning hours playing this new game that Tyler so graciously bought me for my birthday (which is in like two more weeks)! There's nothing like taking a break from studying/not studying to play a game that actually engages your mind instead of just vegging out in front of the TV. We're having trouble catching up with the DVR recently - too much on it to watch!

Art and Gravity

See this lovely piece of work? It's a lot bigger than it appears to be in the picture. Tyler and I were taking a nap on Sunday afternoon and we were suddenly awakened by this huge CRASH/BANG sound. We both sat straight up in a panic and looked around the room to see what had happened. Of course the picture was right behind our heads, so it took a while to realize that it had decided to fall to the ground between the bed and the wall. Amazingly enough, the glass did not shatter. And I believe the frame is repairable. We'll see. We did manage to complete our nap after that, but it was so scary! We're also very thankful that the picture did not fall on our heads. I wonder why it decided to fall after remaining secure on our wall for almost exactly one year. And also, why did it have to happen while we were in the bed sound asleep? The world may never know.

Finally sold my car today! Thought it would never happen. I was set to sell it early last week but when the buyer and I walked out to the car (after he had driven an hour to get here) I quickly noticed something wasn't right. The driver's side mirror had been bashed in! Who done it? We're pretty sure who did it, but we have no proof. SO. We ordered some parts, shelled out $250 and got the thing fixed. I even filled up the tank with gas and washed the thing in an effort to apologize to the buyer for making the trip in vain the first time. I am very glad that he was so nice about it all and he completely realized that none of it was my fault. Oh, and by the way, the parts we ordered were in yesterday, but the new mirror did not come painted like it was supposed to so that cost us an extra day and me a extra trip down to the auto body place. Exciting, I know! I know it felt very good to take that check to the bank though.
Pizza, cookies and a long stay at the gym made my day lots better.
