I couldn’t sleep last night. Was up until 1:30 AM before sleep finally came. Immediately had a dream that I was living in a midlevel community that was living underground in New York City literally. No one had seen the sky in their lifetimes after a great war had wiped out civilization. As with all cliche dreams there were bands of marauding robots in human form, hell bent on killing everyone.
I was part of an expedition to the outside world. We were running out of candles to keep the robots away (I’m thinking I swiped that from the anti-vampire candles in ‘Vampire Hunter D,’ which I watched the other day) so me and two others walked through the wastelands with shadow shields and into the “real” world.
We weren’t prepared for it. No zombies or anything. Just people covered up because the ozone hole was now over Manhattan. It was a utopia (as with all cliches like this), people shared everything, there was no fighting, heck when we stole a car, no one complained. This, of course, freaked the hell out of us and we thought a giant machine was going to come and kill us for stealing the car so we drove it around some then crossed a giant bridge that ended with toll booths. We were trying to figure out how to pay the toll when I woke up.
Oh well. Another typical dream.
One BAD dream I had last night wasn’t a dream at all. I went to update to the latest drivers for my video card on my TV Computer. Well I forgot to uninstall the control panel before uninstalling the driver. Major chaos. The driver tried to reinstall itself and that crashed and then every other reboot would fail to recognize the driver so … I ended up reformatting that thing AGAIN. Spent all night doing it, didn’t lose any data but damn, it wasn’t something I wanted to do with my only day off.
Today’s Easter Sunday and I’m going into work in an hour. I’m going to work as much of the day as possible and avoid the Easter dinner, which is always the same here. I mean literally. Ham with sides. Eww. I swear next year I’ll do ham pizza instead.
Have a happy whatever,
