A recent dream

I was wandering through a used book sale at some university. The shelves were packed with both new and old books. I happen across a 'Clockwork Orange' themed 13 month calendar. This had obviously seen better days since the corners where bend, there was a slight warping due to water and the staple was barely able to contain all of the pages. I tucked this under my arm and continued on my way.

Rounding the next corner I spotted Kat Von D, but in this instance, she filled the role of the art student that has been around so long she is now seen as an art professor's assisstant. We had some exchange of words from which all I remember is me saying, "You know where I live, don't even act like you don't." This had something to do with dropping a project off at the art building and then taking her home.

Next thing I know, the both of us are at the end of the checkout line filling huge tupperware bins with tossed salad that has been spread off over the floor. Everything is going as one would expect with such a task until one of the times I look up from the floor to see construction workers walking around and the queue of people is no where in sight. Kat and I look around to see gutted walls in the process of being refurbished and an electrician on a ladder poking around in the ceiling. This electrican then starts a verbal countdown, "3..2..1..". When he reaches the end everything is engulfed in total darkness and moments later I woke up.

What actually happened on 03-08-08

Shortly after eating Chinese on Friday night, my sister was stricten with what we have concluded must have been food poisoning. She had the dog out when the fireworks began. She left several indicators of what she had for dinner in the front yard.

For the rest of the night, she was in the bathroom every 30 minutes or so either vomitting or shitting, sometimes both at the same time. This put her trip to New York in question. Come the next morning the trip was called off and she spend most of the day in bed drinking ginger ale.

I ended up doing laundry while waiting for details of the night activities. I ended up meeting 2 couples for bowling. I told them how great it was to be out of a house that smells of shit and vomit. In 3 games a managed a meager total score of 240. After that we went to eat where we had a server who had to be into the Ren Faire because of this semi-theatrical introduction of the specials and his annoying ability to not stop talking. When the checks came he referred to me as "Mr. Swinger" since he had spent the whole time trying to find out which couple I was associated with.

I returned home that night, with my parents car no where in sight which answers the question I posed previously.

03-08-08

Tomorrow I have to get up early to drive my sister and niece to E-town to get on a train for New York. But before sending them on their way, we are making a brief stop at Fractured Prune.


After they are gone I will have the whole day to myself to do whatever happened to pop into my head. I plan on going to a book/rummage sale, I have a feeling it is going to be a waste of time, but I figure why not. Then I plan on going to a real bookstore. After that, which will probably be around 10am, I will have a lot of time and nowhere in particular I need to be. There is a potential for bowling early in the evening but there is still a lot of time in between.

The real question is when do my parents get back from their trip? Is it today or tomorrow that "Grandparents of the Caribbean" draws to a close?
