Dream memory

I had a horrible dream last night. A freaky, nonsensical one. For some reason I was running in a underground tunnel system, with a long, deep channel of water runnning down the middle. I had a box of comic books, and some little figurines that were Newton and my sweetie (Not sure if they were really them, or just toys, but my dream mind said to protect them at any cost). There was a pack of wolves chasing me, and the tunnel was badly lit… All I could see was the wolves eyes in the dark, and echoing growls. To throw the animals off my scent, I urinated on some of the comic books… I remember taking a long time to weed out the ones I didn’t like as much… old Issues of Superboy, and tossed them down a side tunnel. I dove into the water, and swam upstream… the water seemed very clean, so I don’t think I was in a sewer. only one wolf followed me, and I savagely ripped out it’s throat when it clamped it’s mouth on my right arm. It was very vivid, and turns my stomach just thinking about it. The body I put in the water, and sent it floating downstream to the others, hoping it would make them slow down, and possibly eat him. I waded out of the water, figurines still in hand, and bright lights and a klaxon alarm went off… I began running again…Newton was on my shoulder, wearing a diving mask and a snorkel.

Then I woke up, heart racing, and in a sweat.

Yuck.

stuff to do tonight

get comfort food to ride out a night without my love in talkie-range.

taco bell, with earl gray tea.

Book – House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (I went into my closet this afternoon and pulled out a few books I’d not read yet, picked up at a used bookstore about a year ago, and promptly forgot). It’s a meaty paperback, about as thick as The Stand was, when I had it in the same size. I remember now, why I put it in the closet, as it’s a meta-book… where it’s a few layers of story deep. little bits or writing on the margin, and so on. it’ll give me something to do. I hope it passes the test of 100.

A kitty in lap, or playing milk ring fetch, should be nice too. I’ll be burning nag champa, and be bundled in bedding cocoon, sending her my thoughts for her happiness, and comfort.

Well, shit.

Something you never want to see in a quiet neighborhood. A gang of cops with rifles pointing at your house, and an armed one at the door when you’re freshly naked from the shower.

Newt and I just were allowed back into the apartment, after 2 hours of being made to wait in a carport 4 houses down the street. My landlord (the apartment is an efficiency built into the side of a larger house) apparently decided to arm himself, take some vicadin, and scare his girlfriend. I don’t know the whole story yet, just that there were over a dozen police cars, a fire safety vehicle and a fire engine descending on my home. I was just drying after a shower when a BCS officer knocks on my door, and tells me to come out…I let him know I’m nude and ask if it can wait a moment as I dry and dress… he told me to hurry up, and asked me through my louvered windows if there were any other entrances to my apartment than the front door. I told him no… and asked what it was all about. He said for me to just please come out, and I said sure…’Could you please tell me what’s going on..” He then informs me of the above ‘armed-drugged, please leave for your own safety/may we come inside your apartment” I told him sure, as I had my pants on by then, and picked up Newton, and walked out and up the street, as fast as my sandaled feet would take me and my orange striped son. We go four houses down the street to the nearest neighbor I know, and knock on the door, asking if I may hang out on the porch for a while… they’re good about it (as I expected, and I filled them in on what’s happening…. we at and talked about the lunacy of the deed holders of my place, and how any mook can get a gun these days. Their daughter had never met Newton, and he charmed the 8 year old completely…she said that Newton could stay over in her room whenever he wanted. (I may take them up on it, if I ever have to leave town for a day or two…) It’s funny, I had a fear that I might never see any of my stuff at the house again, but I just grabbed the baby… I even left my laptop behind. (that stuff is all replaceable….Newton’s too precious to me to leave anywhere.)

tom Jones…

Nashatagot me in the mood for some groovy tom Jones music, so I fired up the audiognome (a napster/napigator type gizmo) and grabbed a few. *whee!* Ever so much fun. Thanks to whomever posted the link to that location, I think it was JennyLee.

I’m in a wacky linky mood. Have another spiral!

Red!

Anyhow, I went and looked to see where TJ was performing at Pollstar and sadly, he’s strictly vegas, california, and the UK for the immediate future. Anyone want to go with me out to the city of lights to see him perform, and maybe do a tour of the city of sin? (I’m not a gambler… who knows what I’d do out there… see the shows, eat buffetts, and visit my pal ramscan, I suppose.)

He heads to Europe on 10/29, so we don’t have much time. I can spring for continental plane tickets, but that’s about it.

In other news, bought Newton a new toy, that makes ‘krinkle’ noises, and is filled with ‘nip. He’s in love with it. 🙂 Looks like a psychedelic spider! The bug on the lower right side of the page.

All for now, off to chase the furball.

a new day… a chance to begin again…

in a land of opportunity and adventure. hm.. maybe.

Slept wonderfully last night, Newton was a little beast though, knocked over a bag of hay I found in the closet from my old scarecrow costume a few years back. he’s having a good time, but it’s going to be messy to pick up.

Work goes slow, but steady… so much so that I’ve not had much time to write. I think I’ll have to focus on a good short story on the weekend, just to keep my hands in.

Remembering a quote from an old Thor comic…”Fatherless son of a She-Dog!”

I suppose that’s asgardian shakespeare for bastard, SOB. I often wondered why scandinavian gods in marvel comics talked like they were english nobility. ::shrug::

I could use some purple throat-potion… but I think I’ll have to settle for the detritus that’s served at the local vending machines. Apple Juice in a can! woo hoo! hmm.. after that exclamation, I think I’ll opt for Yoohoo!

It’s like chocolate milk, but it never goes bad. Better living through radiation.

it;s raining, it’s pouring…

the old man is snoring…

Today’s forcast. Very moist!

I wanted just to sleep and sleep and sleep today. I was snoozing, Newtie on my neck, and as comfy as my bed’s pseudo-womb-like qualities could deliver. but, in order to pay the bills I got up, and puttered into work a bit late.

I’m well rested though. first sexy dreams in a while… I wrote them down when I first work up, who knows, I might even post them in non-private mode. 🙂 Unlikely. Not something I’m apt to share.

Back to work for me! I have Friday off, so I need to get on top of things here.

good morning!

good night’s sleep with the CPAP thing on… a little more used to it, but the pressure is still a trifle awkward.

Got up early this morning, giving little bro his VCR, he had me hold it for him while in Hawaii. I can’t find the remote… d’oh. Ah well, I’ll but him a universal to use on his TV and the VCR… hopefully that’ll do. going to loan him some movies, as he has no cable…not sure what, yet, just a big mix of what I have lying around.

Newtie’s a goon…chasing me all over the house, as I tear it apart looking for cables and the remote… we ended up playing fetch as I went, just to accomplish my goals…

Well, off to prepare for work, shower, shave the non-goatee, and have some yogurt and total. 🙂 yum yum!

Scotto’s plans for immediate future

hey! apple jacks are now in pink and green! when did that happen? weren’t they originally all pink?

also. Newt likes apple jacks!

They don’t taste like apples, but we eat what we like!

home again, home again, jiggity jig.

Newt met me at the door tonight, as usual. Lovey cat, so I picked his kitty-self up, and trotted him around the house, and then we plopped down here. He’s currently batting at my necklace, and stanging on my lap. We’re going to play paper-wad fetch, so I can write more effectively here. *lob* Newt heads for the ball, on the bed. he returns, drops the wad at my feet, and bolts off for another catch. *lob* repeat as needed. Saw Space cowboys with Robby tonight. I was pleasantly surprised, as I could lose myself to the film rather easily. (only a couple of bits I didn’t like… I didn’t even mind the old-man-tushie scene)

We went to the 50s diner, and all I had was a big-ol’ cherry fountain coke and an english muffin. Peckish now though… probably going to have some total and yogurt. 🙂 yum. No, strike that. I’m going to put magic shell on a frozen banana. yum+5. Robb’s head was more there today, we hung out for a few hours at starbucks and los olas in general before catching the flick… nice and fun.

smoking greatly reduces your chances of jogging.

ugh! Monday already?

This is getting to be a routine with me. Still shaking off the sleepies that are clinging to me like some sort of mental kudzu. Newt bolted out of the house this morning, as I got back from doing laundry, and I had to use my ‘stun-volume’ yell to stop him from running out into the street. (It’s pretty cool… if I bellow at him really loudly, he’ll go down on is belly, and I can then sort of walk over to him and pick him up. I think he think’s it’s some sort of game.) Still, it’s better to yell at him than have him creamed in front of my apartment. Silly guy wanted to play paperwad fetch the rest of the morning before I went to work, so I obliged him. 🙂
