Flying kites, a bunch of single liners. Get mine up and down.
Walking around a mall with Kirstie Alley. We go in and out of a few stores, then into the other section.

With 2 superheroes, we’re being chased by zombies. Run to an underground thing, fight them off to close the door. I can’t go down with the heroes because it’s radioactive.
In a room, debating with Glenn Beck and others. He starts talking about 5 verifications of some religious thing. I say he’s wrong-only 2 are correct and that’s not enough. Another guy agrees, Beck attacks him. Pushes him in a corner and starts biting his arm. They fly over my way and I put Beck on the ground, saying, “You’re going to jail, Mr. Beck.”

In a Walmart? DC, walking around. Go through the merch and clothes, he’s explaining how things work.
Walk through a hall then outside. a bunch of HS guys are there.

In a city, carrying a Christmas tree across the street. Have to leave it to get my car, some guy is holding it for me when I get back-I give some cash.
At Long Beach house, doing an indoor demo with Ron and John, in the living room. Tangle my lines get them untangled, fly around doing wrapups and showing off. Go into the front bedroom, things haven’t changed much, but the boy living there has didges. I play one. Go back out.
Outside, walking down the street. A plane comes flying towards me and I avoid it. A helicopter comes too.

At home, someone brought over a little furball pet. We like it, but it’s not allowed to be a pet. Walk into another part of the house and someone has one. Look out the window.

Bump into Brian K in England, I say hi and he goes into an apt building saying that he found one. Go up the street, cross and get chased by a big crane. I dodge, go around a building and down a stairwell. Two other guys go the other way. I hide in a nook under the stairs and try the door into the building. No joy.

Marking time

OK, I guess I should post something, if only to satisfy the slavering masses hanging on every syllable…

Since I haven’t posted since the end of March, here’s a longish recap: mixing gamelan, Colin play, bird’s mating dance, Matt concert, friend’s kid’s birthday party, Erika at auction, Kid’s fest, get grass cut & maintained, Colin’s birthday, Bin Laden killed, royal wedding, Mathias’ Olympiad, coming of age at church, Colin’s sleepover, Mathias too, Mathias sick, Erika diverticulitis & sciatica, Mathias’ cut up toe, new brakes & engine mount, chipped tooth, Colin farm trip, Hood River trip, cleaned car, i, Chicago trip, church & school potlucks, buy the house? not. renting & packing bleh, kids out of school, new iPod. Got it? That’s really only so I know what happened between March and July 2011 when someone asks…

Basically it’s been the usual, except that we’re moving into a tiny apartment next week. It sucks, but we’re going to save $600/month which will pay for school and hopefully pay off enough debt that we can buy a house. I tried to tell Erika this when we moved up here, but she didn’t hear me, so we’ve peed away all the extra money we got when I got a big pay hike. Oh well. Such are things.

Feldy and someone else are bugging Kottler. I remark that nothing changes. Go into a store with the guys from Jabbz, walk around. Talk to Nancy about gardening and walk around the garden. Set off through the hills. Look over and the moon is smooth and green, go to tell someone. It gets elongated and lumpy, and passes very fast close by. It falls into the sea, then a holey shell comes up. I look south and there’s smoke and mushroom clouds, and west too. I remark it’s L.A. and S.F. We start walking east and look for a place to hide. Planes are flying low. Find a crack in a bunch of rocks, but it’s too small.

In London, I’m looking for a room and they’re all like small boxes. I go out to get food at a small counter. Go back to a hotel and my parents have all my stuff out on a table. I go through and get a few papers and tell them they can do whatever with the rest. I’m late for the airport, so I get a ride, but it’s raining and the water is flooding the street. We go down ahead of the flood and stop on top of a parking structure. We try to go down the stairs.

2011/5/23

At a reunion thing-a bunch of people are there. Go down to the dance floor and they’re throwing stuff around. Get ready to leave with Mike. Have to wait for someone.

2011/5/20

At a bar, downstairs in the john. Finish, go to open the door and get sprayed in the face with water. Go out, up, and see the girl who did it working in the next bar. Go over and tell her I’ll get her. Talk to the manager and tell her I’m just having fun.

2011/5/16

Walk through some kids museum, looking at things. Pretty cool-space stuff, dinosaurs. I look through a half open door and it’s down stairs to a restricted area of the white house or legislature-guards walking around.
Driving my car, pull to the right, a car passes. I go to the left onto a freeway, but the car starts pouring black and red smoke from the hood. I stop on the side.

2011/4/13

In a school? Playing around with a group of girls-they’re tossing hair around. I chase some with it, then settle down with one for some fun. She’s liking what I’m doing.
At a festival? On a hill-sitting talking about how the guys are only there for the girls. Playing around with one.
