Boomtime, Discord 4th, yC 3169 In my dream it turned out that one of my co-workers is Jaybird's sister. It turns out that she's a crab, a crustacean not a curmudgeon, the kind that live on Christmas Island. I realize that she's a crab when she starts foaming at the mouth and foams up the floor with her froth. The foam is her preparation for creating an egg sac. One of the odd things she does is wave her human arm over her head like a periscope coming out of the foam then gives me the OK sign. I start raving about how this proves she's sentient and capable of abstract thought by expressing a concept like "okay". For the rest of the dream that egg sac, which is the size of a softball, is the center of attention being bandied about and rubbed to feel the strange slickness of arthropod saliva. I end up having to preserve it from drying out by plopping it into a good sized mayonnaise jar with a bit of urine on the bottom. Snow So there was a lot of snow in Colorado Springs, a few inches more than the fabled blizzard of '03 that buried El Paso county. What got on my nerves was hearing about all the school closings on NPR and when I got outside expecting to be wading through hip-deep drifts it was the laughable kind of accumulation I've come to expect from southwestern skies. When I got to work I saw that kids were dragged into the office because the schools were closed. That's really fucking cruel to do to kids since it's a snow day and they should be allowed to stay home and do stupid kid things rather than being dragged into a boring, sterile office full of yentas. Plus it's really white-trashy too. Hello, if you can't afford a babysitter or can't trust your kid alone then perhaps you shouldn't have gotten knocked up in the first place.
