(Dreams)

(1)

I was arrested for creating a nuisance, and disturbing the peace in a small town, but the arrest was somehow a joke (on whom, I don't know, cause I was in on it), so they still let me go to Australia and even gave me $500 calling card so I could check in each day.

I don't remember much more detail of this dream...

(2)

I was at General Assembly which was in Salt Lake City in a hotel.

A minister came to watch some youth who were up late late playing with those little paddle with ball on rubber string things (what's it called?) and she (minister) asked me what was the point of the game? I explained how if the ball was thrown, it would be snapped back by the rubber string, thereby allowing the person to try to hit it.

These were crazy long rubber strings though, stretching all the way to the ceiling of the gymnasium and attached there, then back down, so it was more like the ball was a bouncing swinging pendulum that youth were trying to hit with the paddle (which was also attached to the same point in the ceiling via rubber string).

Fricke was there, with his own wacky version of the game, where the rubber string was all wrapped around his body and then would come spiraling off and sling in some random direction.

I went to bed, but then saw Melissa (from OKC) and she was all, "want to go get some breakfast?"

"Sure!"

"How about at Crystal Palace?"

So we hopped in her car and she drove us away from the hotel toward the Crystal Palace, where we had GA the previous year.

I didn't recognize the buildings 100%, but they were the streets of Boston (or was it Chicago?) and kept on driving until the city abruptly arrived at a large wooden pier, drove way out onto it, and waited for people to get out of the way so we could turn right onto a narrower pier thing. Drove a bit, then turned right again and actually 2 tires went off the side of the pier (Melissa's side) and I freaked a bit, she was all, "it's no problem" and sure enough, once she got around the little obstruction she had avoided, we drove back all four tiers onto the pier.

Then we were there at the Crystal Palace, which was a small Chinese seafood restaurant on this pier. We were parked under their porch awning thing and the busboy looked out the window and I was all ,"is this your valet parking?"

"Actually it's all the way on the other side of the pier."

Well is there somewhere close we can park?"

He pointed to a spot that was just behind us, where we would no longer be under their awning. "Parallel parking right there."

Melissa was all, "can you parallel park?"

After you were able to drive 2 wheels off the pier and back on, you can't parallel park? I thought to myself. "Um yeah."

Then the guy was all, "do you want us to get some soup for you while you move the car?"

I was all, "um, yeah water is fine," assuming he had asked about drinks.

Melissa was all, "no, what kind of soup do you want?"

They showed me the options, and they were all named after first names of movie stars and cartoon characters "Elmer" Cheetoh, Howard Louis, Buster, Maynard - there was about 50 options. I recognized there was no description,and was I just supposed to see which name I liked best?

and I woke up.

I did it!!!

Look below... I made automagic links to previous and next journal entries!

I haven't tested them if there are only zero, one, or two entries in the directory, but for any number greater than that, they should work!

The way I did it seems pretty slick, and takes only a teeny bit more CPU time than the script already used. Way way super cool!

They for sure do not work to visit entries in the previous or next month. I have very little urge to do that, though.
