Prize/Food Distribution

I was picking out food or prizes to take from school with me. I didn't want the food because, I said, I had plenty of it at home. I didn't see anything interesting in the prizes, and, so, I went to the other room where people were going after they had chosen.

I then saw someone with what I thought looked like an Aphex Twin sticker from the brief glimpse I got of it and then ran back into the prize room. All I saw was a T-Shirt that, at first glance, looked to be promoting Aphex Twin. But, then, I read it and saw that it was really "Pow Wow Apex" or something.

I was then talking to Matthew, and remarked that it seemed that that mixup occurred frequently. We walking into the library and asked someone he said new lots about that kind of stuff if he knew about Aphex Twin. He responded that he wanted to be left alone. He seemed to be reading something.

After that everyone gathered in a large room past the library. The view switched to a tunnel leading off from it. There was a pitlord looking creature (like the one in Warcraft III), who was talking to himself about his plans he was about to unleash.

He was ejecting invisible spores, from a first air-blowing tube now, and later would eject the activating chemical. He was delighted with them, and noted that they'd act like coffee would, only 11 times stronger. To get this effect with coffee, you'd have to use $1,100 or so dollars worth of it. The spore would, it seemed, put the people into a very deep sleep.

He also remarked that it was a shame that you couldn't put the spores in missiles, as they'd disintegrate in the heat or impact or something.

He released the chemicals, and the spores popped into a visible size. He then retreated to his home, where he instructed his door to stay on guard, which it did after a bit of debate. While this was going on, three creatures were hiding in the eaves right about the door.

Then, one creature entered the door, and confronted the pitlord. He started to attack him, but, looking closer, realized that the only thing odd about the pitlord was that his eyes were burning and that he had 3 legs. He decided to go to the pitlord's side, and begged for mercy, which he received.

(wow. I get much more detail when I'm not lazy and write them out in full right after I wake up.)

"Tow your Spacecraft Properly"

I was watching some commercial prepared by the government about towing your spacecraft properly. It showed examples of what might happen to two spacecraft if they were towed improperly at the end.

Next, Two police pulled up behind a stopped vehicle with a spacecraft being towed, and arrested the man for towing it improperly. He stepped out of the car with his hands up, and a gun fell to the floor noisily from somewhere. He muttered something about not having a good grip when he used guns.

He was arrested, handcuffs placed on him, and he was secured in the auto-seatbeling seat in the polices' van. Angrily, the driving policeman proclaimed, after driving around for a while, that he was going to take him straight to the judge, and drove right next to a door leading into a large official looking building.

They entered a chapel, and told a group of people standing around a table there why they were there. One of these people told them to go through the glass doors behind him and wait with a nurse who's name he mentioned. They did so.

One of the police officers, now a female, picked a cell-phone up from a bag where it had been ringing and turned it on. The person on the other end asked for the nurse, and, not seeing her, was given a response about her not being available. Then the nurse stood up and said something like "Excuse me? I'm here.". They laughed.

They went down into a sunken area, the police and the criminal. Both police were male now. There was some fiasco about one of the police unleashing a stock market scam on the computers which was there.

Then, two people came in, looking like mexicans. They grabbed some stuff, including a U.S. flag which was there. One of the police asked to see it, and then tried to rip it. As he couldn't, he proclaimed that a police person must be redistributing flags.

It got rather muddled from there on out.

Food Kiosk

I was sitting down at a food kiosk, looking over the menu, laughing with some stranger who was doing the same at some of the presentations- one of the pieces of food was wrapped in the same of a duck. When asked why the food was kept in baskets at the counter, the cashier replied that it helped keep them warp, and shook the baskets.

I decided to order a "citrus apple of the sea", as the sign on it's basket proclaimed it's name to be. Taking the bundle which the menu had priced at about $6, I unwrapped it only to discover that al it was was a ball of fried rice with a shard of shrimp in the center.

My Mom was there also, although I'm not sure what she ordered. After I had gobbled mine down, she asked if I wanted more, and that if so we might want to order it by phone, perhaps from the 310 area since then it'd be quicker. I declined, noting that It'd take 11 of those to fill me up and that the price was outrageous.

Remote Controls

I was reading reviews about remote controls for my computer in MacAddict, this particular one was quite collorful and seemed to bear the name "Quicktime Mega Bazaar".

I noted to my Dad that "Remote controls don't look like they have good progress bar support.".
