On Sunday night I got really tired. Reckon it happened around the time that I stumbled upon a webpage about some stupid movie. Adolf Hitler Firecracker or something.

The reference struck a chord in me because that movie is considered "LOL TEH FUNNEY" by one of my most annoying co-workers. This individual has a fucking pen that quotes the movie. Either way it made me think of work, some stress about my day of hooky bubbled up and now I think I have everything in perspective.

Plus I think the anticipation of an extremely busy summer season took the wind out of my sails. So I shouldn't complain because I had a three day weekend and I have a paid day off coming up in June and sometime in September I'll be going to New Jersey with raddidge. If only the trip was for two weeks rather than one measly week.

In Yer Dreams
This would've been a nightmare. Fortunately I became aware and woke myself so there weren't any mental scars.

I was heading into a darkened parking lot to get home. Reckon raddidge was with me but I couldn't be sure. All I know is that I was alone and the feeling was one that I associate with raddidge. We got to the car and she pointed out that something was really, really wrong. Upon further inspection I saw something had broadsided the driver side of my car and knocked the driver's door off the hinge. At least they were nice enough to put the door on top of the car's roof.

I didn't need this shit right now. Suddenly I noticed everything was wrong and the situation was getting worse. When I got into the car, the interior started closing around me like it was being inflated. That's when I noticed the door was closed and in good working order. "This isn't real!" I shouted.

That's when I woke up. When I went back to sleep, the dream had my car turned into a giant aquatic turtle.
