Year: 2020

At 1023, getting ready for work. There’s a buffet going on outside for a wedding. Walk over and grab some blueberries ahead of the line. Get in line and walk through.

Skiing down a steep hill. There are houses everywhere. The snow is drifted and like whipped cream. Make turns on the steep part.

In Long Beach, walking down Alamitos towards home. There’s a huge pride thing going on, everything is blocked off for a Pulse party. Walk through one, then around down 1st towards downtown. Go through a building under construction and out to some square that looks like Portland.

At work, they want to reassign me to a sales thing. I say that I’m a programmer, not a salesman. Jacob H is doing the job and he says there’s not much work right now. I go over and look through a desk for some of my stuff.

Walking through town, follow someone. A girl is hiding behind a door, trying to follow them too. I hang out waiting for him to go around a corner, and close the blind the girl is looking through. Walk around to a small shopping area, see them. Go into a running shoe shop and sit down-I’m barefoot. A guy comes over with socks and looks at my feet and asks about them. A toe is crossed over another and I have huge bunions. I tell him what shoes I have and he goes to get some. I go over to the shoe that has my music downloaded on it and press play. A girl looks over disapprovingly, and a guy comes over and says that’s cool.

Park at Newport and take the gyre down to Dana Point. Stop at a fancy beach club, meet a friend. Sit on some lounge chairs, greet a girl. Start ordering drinks from the servant, my friend starts ordering a complicated drink to go. Suddenly everyone leaves. We follow and they’re doing exercise by the pool. My friend starts yelling and I break something. They ask us to leave and we resist.

At an office or a library? Have these kind of skate-like slide shoes on. I’m zooming back and forth between the stacks. Someone else wants to try, so I give them, then get another pair. Walk back and try them again.

At a bus stop, get a package. Open it up and it’s a small music studio. Lots of tiny controls. Someone else is interested. Walk around playing with it.

Playing hockey, make a slick reverse move and steal. Everyone is impressed and asks me to do it again. Try and it’s close but not the same.

Arriving at the airport with Bob H.? We go towards the line, and someone barges past up and cuts the line. We all start on him, and someone comes and takes him away. Start looking for my id and flight info.

Pruning a blackberry cutting. It’s long and has lots of dead parts. Cut away everything except a little sprig and a small root.

Watch Tool. Danny is playing odd instruments, like a thick cello type thing.

On the way to Quest, talk to Vinny, who’s coming back too. Talk about that managers operating modality is their mouth. Late for a meeting-can’t find the room. Finally find it and sit down-its Shannon, Kathleen, etc. We talk about some diagram.

Going for an adventure in some remote trails. Start off and it’s late. Walk up to an abandoned building, then back to Utah. Need to get to the airport. Someone has my missing shoe, but it’s not. They laugh, and I say that I’m not taking them to the airport. Someone is driving my dad’s old stick station wagon. We try to find the right highway to get back home.

At home, setting up a new stereo. Get everything connected and put on a Nucleus album to test. The track starts out with synth bass, and the room is rattling-you can see the air move. It then goes into generic prog-jazz and it’s pretty clean. E says so too. I turn it off.

In the kitchen at 30700. We’re getting home delivery and it’s vegetables and a lot. We go through it and say we need a bigger fridge. I talk to the woman about the big money I have and spending a third of it on E. She says that’s a lot, and I should spend some on me. I do some math on it.

At Quest, starting back. Go to the cafeteria, lots of people. Put my hunch in a fridge-walk back, some guy stops me-there’s a system and he’s the manager. Shows me how to get a fridge spot assigned. Walk over to a table of people I used to work with, say hi. Go into a meeting and give suggestions about an ad and how the image should change before the tag screen.

Driving with Matt. It’s snowy and he’s stuck. He get’s it unstuck, and I help him get going and not skidding/getting stuck.

Have to get into a building, operative directs me into a tiny shaft in a room. I go up, and knock out my dad. My mom is scared, and says I can take her, but there’s all sorts of medical stuff there.

Some guy is bullying workers, so I ask him to leave and walk him out. He tries to come back and I won’t let him.

Outside the apartment, some old lady in a wheelchair is talking to someone who then leaves.

Walking through the city. Meet a girl and go back to her place, even though we have some place to be. She’s ok, and we get undressed and play. Put it in, but she gets covers. Look at a 60’s edition of the kama sutra.

On a bus, get off and go to our apt in the basement of a big building. Look out the back porch and huge smoke clouds are off to the left. Go back in, sit on the bed, eat, then try to close the bag. Spill a lot of seeds in the process.

Hi all the brought a building with no roof. Try to figure out how to fix it.

Looking at a map with locations marked by rock stars. A deli by Bruce Dickinson. Look through an upstairs window at a jam session with Lou Reed.

Walk onto a floor that has lots of food and a huge spa. It’s supposed to be empty. Get back in the elevator and can only go to the ground. Walk through the lobby.

Push over a bully then go into an alley. Someone asks me to help clean up. I take some trays of bad food to the trash.

Get pulled around a neighborhood in a wagon. Go through a street with yard sales. Up a ramp and through a sporting goods store.

In a market square in Nepal? Walk over to Glenn J, ask about what work needs to be done. See Leon C across the way. Walk over to another person to get something.

In a class, show off some wayang puppets. Walk to the front and describe them. Walk around and show them close up. Jake Bidar doesn’t want to see them because they’re “satanic”. I walk past him.

Riding the bus down King, going to school. Fare checker comes, and the tablet is slow to show the ticket. It finally does. Get there, go into the room. Want Diane to sit next to me, sit in the back. Chat with classmates, Apple juice ball is cold. Teacher comes, it’s about last days, we’re out early, going to fake work for the rest, with cards and everything.

Walk through a busy office for an interview at Amazon. There’s a test, but I know Jeff Bezos, so the test is filled in already. We talk a little bit and I get hired and we go over when to start. Walk back and talk to some other people.

At the top of a concert hall. Walk down, someone throws water off the balcony. I toss my wand to try and stop it. Walk around and down the stairs.

Walk up to a tiny car dealership in downtown LB-no cars. Greet the guy, and talk about the car. He has the sheet, and I look it over. The numbers look inflated, but I ok it. The car will take awhile to get here, so they’re delivering to the one by the circle. I take the paper, fold it and walk away. One of the girls shows up and I walk back and say hi. Walk away, and some kid is dancing in the parking lot across the street-I try to find him. Some people look at me as I walk.

Going back home, then to meet my parents. I walk across a bridge and mom calls. She says she’s in Cuba and I get upset because I was supposed to meet her at home.
