(dream)

Watching a movie about chicago gangsters, who were in a barber shop and they were making a business transaction with the owner, and all seemed happy, but then the owner shot someone and then they shot the owner like a hundred times and one guy started shooting his machine gun into the customer area of the barber shop. The movie camera just showed his relentless face and the gun pointing just under the camera's vision and rocking back and forth spraying bullets apparently into the intended recipients.

Then the camera moved to outside the room and the gangsters climbed out of the broken window, and the told the remaining customers to keep quiet about this; it never happened. Everyone agreed to remain silent.

Sitting beside Glenn from my I-group on his bed in the bedroom and putting together his 5x5x5 rubik's cube, using an instruction book. There was a party going on in the other room, and people had been arriving since we were working on the cube.

It was people from Telecheck, my old work, and one guy came in and gave me a hug; (he reminds me of the character TV star from 5th Element.) he sat down and inquired about the puzzle, but I realized some of the pieces were missing.

So I went outside and found Bryn chillin' on some bleachers in the front yard. These were only about 3 seats high. I climbed up them and sat beside her. She had written a letter that she kinda showed me, but it didn't have my name on it.

"Can I read it?" I asked. I wondered if I was allowed to more than was I able to.

She handed it to me and showed me where the part was written to me.

It was a picture and some introspective writing she had written.

Then a helicopter overhead tossed a rope out its side and a person started rappelling down. She landed right inside the helicopter seat of the helicopter that was already sitting in front of Bryn and I, and tethered on one side to the balloon we were sitting in. (It was a hot air balloon, and we were in its gondola)

The helicopter woman flew away but since the helicopter was still attached via tether to the hot air balloon, when she tried to fly away we were all yanked along with her for a bit.. She tried to climb up the cord and disconnect it, and I told her I could do it. I got to the knot and couldn't figure out how to untie it and she said just press it. I pressed the knot and it unhooked itself.

She flew away and I had the hot air balloon as it was slowly losing air. It had a light bulb where the fire would be, as a heat source, it was actually inside the bottom of the balloon. The balloon was mostly sealed, and full of helium instead of hot air. As I moved the balloon around, it kept falling over and the light bulb was touching the inside of the fabric and I was afraid it would melt it, but it never die.

I was right beside my car and I realized I left my lights on in the car, so I unlocked the passenger side door and reached in to turn off the lights.

I took the balloon inside where Wende told me the status of the party.

"Your dad and brother are working on some computer thing (that they realized they can work on from home), and most everyone else has left."

I woke up.

Much to Wende's pleasant surprise, and my surprise as well, I vacuumed the whole house this morning! After that we had breakfast tacos custom made by Wende and we just went on an errand spree to the post office and to get Scott's oil changed and to get the 1.25 inch machine screws to attach hand-painted (by me at Mad Potter last week) ceramic handles to our CD drawers.

We got home and yay!, our pictures from Australia arrived from the developers! And... our garage door was left open. Doh!!

I'm thankful that everything seems to be in place.

This evening Wende and I will be at KTRU from 7 to 9pm. But there is a ball game being broadcast from 5-8pm. I'll call the 5-7pm DJ to see what is up.
