Claire Danes Knows About Hedgehogs

#1
I'm looking through my list of Facebook friends and come across someone I don't recognize. He has some dumb name like "Farmerman Dan" that doesn't really help me identify him. I go to find him in person. I track him down to this house in the middle of nowhere with no electricity and no running water. He's part of a metal band and I realize he's the friend of some guy my friend Amanda dated like 10 years ago. I leave the house and find a hedgehog in the yard. I'm worried that the little guy might be dehydrated since there's no running water in the house. I drive to a strip mall and knock on the door of a pet store. It's closed for the night, but Claire Danes opens the door anyway and takes a look at the hedgehog for me.

Claire Danes is on the right

There's a trick to it

#1
Listening to my uncle explain the finer points of how to tip over a honey bucket

#2
Shopping for clothes with Amanda. She tells me the real reason she couldn't hang out on Saturday was that she had to go to a funeral. Her mom's gentleman friend had passed away.

#3
Sitting at a table with Kelly and Maya (only it doesn't look like Maya). They're discussing new Zumba moves.

#4
Talking to Taylor about her years as Columbia in the Tacoma Rocky Horror Picture Show cast.

 

That's Taylor on the right in the gold jacket

Working on the Weekend

#1
I'm sitting on the grass with a big crowd of people and someone mentions the SHIFT Awards. Someone else says that it's the same thing as the Shift Happens event, which makes me very angry. I interrupt rather loudly and set them straight.

#2
My friend Amanda has been hired at my place of work. I am giving her a tour of one of our web solutions and she starts trying to type DOS commands into the RTE. I try to explain to her why that won't work.

 

#3

My aunt Judy has 2 baby gorillas that know sign language. They're signing "I love you" to me and I'm crying because I don't want them to go. 

#4

Hitching a ride with two women I don't know. We stop at a gas station and I get myself a cup of coffee. The person behind me waiting for coffee is really rude so I dump out all the creamer so she can't have any.

Vacation Dreaming

#1
Sitting inside a walk-in fridge at the Museum of Glass, munching on veggies. It's dark and I can hear someone else in the building. I come out and startle them as I exit the fridge.

#2
Working at Home Depot. Trying to balance my till and it's not working. All my dance buddies are in the office ready to head out for a performance. I tell them I'll join them as soon as I'm done. 

#3
In a crappy apartment (maybe in New York?) watching Meg Ryan explain to a woman why she loves... someone. Not really clear.

#4
In my dad's old apartment in Tacoma. A spider has picked up a kitten. I shoo the spider away with a broom and realize there are several newborn kittens in the apartment and a couple grown ones that really want my attention (no food?).

#5
In line to audition for a TV show starring Emeril Lagasse. I'm just there keeping Reena company because part of the audition involves singing (and I can't sing).

#6
On a luxury cruise ship that has broken down. We start rationing out food and one girl tells me she has some leftover gluten free pizza. I ask if it's any good and she says it's terrible.

#7
At Brian's house. Julie confesses to me that she really wants to open a BBQ restaurant. I walk up to Ian who is sitting on the stairs with a large bag of candy next to him. I ask if I can have some Skittles. He says I have to ask his dad. I ask Brian and he says no.

#8
I'm in a park and walk up to a picnic table. Bret Michaels and a bunch of Rock of Love girls are sitting at the table. I can see Bret looking at one of the girls and can hear his thoughts: "She looked like the sweetest, most wholesome girl you'd ever meet... until she did a line of blow."

#9
In the audience for the Oprah show. Oprah has realized that she's pregnant and has decided to give birth on her show. Her doctor informs her that she's actually been pregnant for the last 15 years. She gives birth to a 12" high 15 year old.

#10
In a play with my friend Amanda, Oprah's 12" high 15 year old, and Catherine Zeta Jones. Amanda leans over to me during the show and says, "She's so good!" I reply, "Cathy? Yeah, she's great."

Note: Took a vacation from work last week but apparently that didn't stop me from dreaming about co-workers... and random celebrities. Prior to my vacation I hadn't been remembering many of my dreams but I think I have it solved now.

Vegas, baby!

#1
Walking through Treasure Island with Brian and Brittany. I say something to the effect of, "I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but despite the whole 'pirate' thing, I've never stayed at Treasure Island." They inform me that I have mentioned that. More than once.

#2
Still in Vegas, but this time it's with Amanda and we're there for a theater/acting convention. I miss the last workshop to pick Suze & DJ up at the airport. Some how I end up getting to watch a sneak peek/ rehearsal of Glee.

I will name him George

#1
Am on some sort of lame game show. 3 teams: Jules & Amanda, Brandy & Kyle, and Suze, DJ and I. Jules & Amanda win a cruise. Brandy & Kyle win a trip to the desert. Suze, DJ and I win a trip to some crappy part of California. PLUS, the trip can only be redeemed 2 months out of the year (I forget which months, but they were stupid). I go to complain about the prize and an employee confesses that the show is out of money. The only other option is a "fancy dinner" prize that is actually a (thawed) frozen chicken that they stole from a homeless guy who'd been keeping it as a pet.
