last night i slept great. except for the weird, weird dream.
bill, jax, and i are driving the beetle through minneapolis (wtf?) on our way back from a wedding somewhere. jax is driving. a big, shiny, black suv blows past us. jax says, “bummer. i thought that might be kazoofus, but the license plate doesn’t seem right for her.” her last name isn’t spelled like THAT. i say, “what did the plate read?” jax: “ANDHOWE.” me: “that’s how she spells it! what did the driver look like?” jax: “red-haired lady.” me: “kathy’s got red hair!” so jax starts flying, i mean flying to catch up with kathy. we pull up next to her and yell: “we’re the langs!” kathy: “pull off!”
so we exit off this super highway in the middle of a large city directly into a city-park like setting. hugs and craziness abounds. we find a picnic table where we park ourselves. but i need some gum. there is a drug store in the middle of this park, and bill, jax, and i walk in looking for my eclipse polar ice gum. nobody’s in the store. so jax starts pulling out plastic bins that appear to be filled with prescriptions, and one bin has my gum. i grab two packs, and bill puts them in his pocket. i yell at him that we haven’t paid, and he protests nobody’s here to pay! i look across the street, see that there is another place open over there and tell him that we’ll pay for it there. jax goes back to kathy.
bill and i enter the place across the street which appears to be a small cafe. bill and melinda gates are sitting in a big wing-back chair necking. (#1: is bill gates’ wife’s name melinda? i don’t know if i know that or if i EVER knew that. #2: they’re necking???) we pay the cashier for the gum. on the way out i say to the gates: “thank you for your philanthropy.” wtf??? i shake their hands and then say: “we’re big microsoft fans.” wtf??? he (bill gates) gives me a little salute. i continue with “except for the no open-source code thing.” wtf??? this is most disturbing to me of all as I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE WHAT OPEN SOURCE IS!!!
and then bill (my bill) woke me up. i don’t know if i was shaking or moaning or what.
kazoofus, suv chases, eclipse polar ice gum. melinda and bill gates. necking. philanthropy. open source code??? i think i’m stressed out.
This confirms it...You've lost it. (^:
