Who Knows Where [Dreams] Come From? They Just Appear!

The real Empire Records quote says "thoughts", not "dreams", but I woke up thinking about this.

I dreamed we went to stay a night in the new house, with the current owners still living there. There's a show on HGTV that allows people to stay a night in a house they are thinking about buying, but not with the current owners. Anyway, they were there, there we were.

Remember, this is a dream.

They were the ugliest, dorkiest people you have ever seen. Ever. I mean, the kinds of people that show up in mass-forwarded emails that make you squirm. Trek conventions had nothing on this couple.

We were trying to keep to ourselves, remembering that we were evaluating the house, not the occupants. The woman, who was a heavy mouth-breather with teeth pointing all different directions, was trying to cozy up to me, so I was making polite conversation, but really was wishing to beg away from her, especially her teeth. She led me over to a coffee table, and wanted to show me all her scrapbooks. She was REALLY into scrapbooking. And very proud of this. Again, being polite and wanting to both pass the time as quickly as possible and avoid any kind of social discomfort (we were staying the night, after all), I complimented her books, saying she was truly an artist. "DO YOU WANT TO SCRAPBOOK WITH ME??" Through the teeth, spit flying everywhere. "Well, sure, " I said politely, making a face at Matt who was observing in horror.

And that was the dream.

And because I couldn't find the actual clip, here's a different clip from Empire Records, one of the best movies ever made.


We do meet with the current occupants tonight, to go over a few things. I've seen them and they are NOT disgusting at all.
