George Bush and Dave Foley

Here's a dream FROM THE VAULT (pre-unclephilsmovie).

I dreamed I was standing in line to meet the president. Dave Foley was in the line too, and I was more excited to meet him than the president. That made me feel un-American. Once I was at the front of the line and it was my turn to meet the president, I was let into this door. I went into a big, empty, dimly-lit room, and George Bush was sitting at a desk with a lamp and a computer in the corner. He looked like he had nothing to do. He seemed happy to see me, like he would have been happy to see anyone. I sat down with him. He asked me "Wanna play Battleship?" and I said ok. We played, I had a good time.

Beginnings of Movies on TV

Here are some stories about watching the beginnings of movies on TV and then changing the channel at the first commercial break and then regretting it.

I watched the beginning of Romeo + Juliet (the modernized one with Leo Dicaprio). It had a lot of stylized crap that I usually hate but I gotta say I was liking it. I was really getting into the story and to my surprise the script sounded natural. But, just to be a jerk, I went "THIS IS GAY" and stopped watching it at the commercial. Now I wish I watched it, man.

I watched the beginning of American Beauty and it was good stuff! But I had a place to be so I could only watch up to the commercial. Later that day I went to the library figuring they'd obviously have it. THEY DIDN'T! They did however have at least 3 copies each of every Austin Powers movie :rolleyes And it wasn't even a college library I mean a REAL LIBRARY.

UPDATE 1/28 4:35pm: I bought American Beauty for 7.50 @ Wal-Mart.

Painting

Here's a little bit of artwork I made because I had extra blue paint and a spare sheet of paper. IT IS NOW IN THE TRASH.

Brian Baumgarter

I dreamed I was watching The Office (US). I think it was an hour long or 2 hour long special. In the episode, Dwight and Kevin had to go to a construction site for a sales call. When they were going back to their car, Dwight forced Kevin to hold something heavy and run there. Kevin was getting really red in the face and sweaty, and it wasn't funny, just very uncomfortable. They got to the car and Kevin saw something from the car was stolen. Kevin got pissed and got a magnifying glass out and starting searching around for clues about the theif. Some of the construction workers around there were making fun of him for it, and Kevin started cussing at them, without bleeps.

It turned out, in the episode, Kevin, Dwight and Oscar were coming to my class. They did some kind of lecture, but I don't remember about what. I remember that we all had laptops with us, and we played some kind of interactive computer thing that involved the characters from Metalocalypse.

A Close Call

I had a very scary dream where I had to carry a baby up a big outdoor staircase and I even had an instruction book on how to carry a baby up that specific staircase and I still **ALMOST** dropped her. It was a real scare.

I had a lot of other frightening and weird dreams last night. I can barely remember them now, phew.

Beauty Parlor

I dreamed that my mom and sister went to the beauty parlor and I went along. We got there at like 9am as soon as the place opened. Surprisingly the place was packed, with both girls AND guys there to do beauty things. I really had to go to the bathroom but there was a line so I just didn't go. There was an area of the beauty parlor where people who weren't getting makeovers or w/e could wait, so I sat there and watched 24. I thought about walking to McDonalds and bringing it back to the beauty parlor so I could eat while I waited. I fell asleep and when I woke up my mom and sister were gone and the beauty parlor was mostly empty and there was a women tanning bottomless. Not in a tanning machine, just tanning through the window. I didn't have my phone with me so I didn't know how to get home so I took the bus. It was a big yellow school bus. I fell asleep on the bus and when I woke up the bus was at its last stop and was done for the day.

Later that night I dreamed I was watching the Power Rangers movie and I spotted Tim and Eric as extras. It was the scene when the parents were at the quarry busting up rocks for Ivan Ooze, Tim and Eric were there hiding in a box and making silly faces.

Frank Zappa's House

I dreamed that I went to Frank Zappa's house (Frank Zappa is alive in this dream). It was my second time going to Frank Zappa's house, the first time was when I was a kid. In this dream, Frank Zappa's house is kind of a shopping mall-ish place, so anyone could just go there, but also Frank Zappa lived there and you could hang out with him. Anyway, in the dream world, the first time I went to Frank Zappa's house, he got high and scared and ran to Ben Folds' house and smashed one of his chairs. That event had become kind of legendary. There was a point where Frank Zappa was hanging out with everyone in what I guess was his living room, and the Ben Folds incident came up, and I was all "I was there."

Frank Zappa's house had this one all-comic book room. I went there thinking it was just a room where he kept his comics, but it turned out to be a comic book store. There was a guy dressed as Space Ghost there. I thought he was just part of the comic book room, but it turns out he was the only guy working there. From the comic book store I found all kinds of stores that Frank Zappa had in his house.

I went back to hang out with Frank Zappa and asked him if he remembered me from the Ben Folds incident, and he said he did, but he was high so he might have been lying.

I went to the supermarket part of Frank's house and at this point I knew I was dreaming, so I just got some oranges and ate them.

I think I dreamed this because I watched the Elliot Gould episode of SNL season 1 before going to sleep.

Roseanne Reunion

I dreamed I was watching a daytime talk show (possibly Roseanne's?) and they were doing a Roseanne reunion. All of the actors were there (except John Goodman ;_; ) and they all went by their real life actor names, but they acted like their characters. Darlene got pregnant (I'm gonna refer to them by their character names if you don't mind) and so they reunited to roast Darlene. The whole time they were acting like their characters. Grandma Bev even said to Darlene "you were always so mean to me" and she referenced events from the show when Darlene was mean to her character. Then it was Roseanne's turn to roast and she was being rude, and Darlene was making that sad face and being all "oh this doesn't bother me." Then David got up and was like "stop it guys you're hurting her feelings!" Then, obviously, Darlene gets all angry "stop it I don't need your help DAVID."

Then I woke up.

Secret Kindergarten

I've been having a lot of weird dreams lately I think I'll start a blog to post about them.

I dreamed that it was the far post-apocalyptic future, and I lived in a huge mansion on top of an enormous mountain of garbage. I found out that someone in the mansion was evil and was up to no good (I don't remember the details here), so I ran out of the mansion and hid in a fort of couch cushions that was part of the garbage mountain. While I was hiding, I started digging in the couch cushions and underneath the garbage mountain I found an old abandoned kindergarten. I decided to live there and teach kids kindergarten if they ever found the place.

The dream cuts to a year later, and the kindergarten was full of kids who I taught kindergarten to during the day. Also I listened to a lot of gangsta rap and had to keep reminding myself not to in front of the kids. Then, the guy who was evil from the beginning of the dream came to the kindergarten with a birthday cake, saying it was his birthday and he turned good. Then me, him and the kids all had a party.

Also, during the whole dream, I was Adam Sandler, but not the real Adam Sandler, I was Adam Sandler playing a movie role.
