dreams

last night i dreamt i went to a Michael Jackson concert. not just any MJ concert but a concert of him performing dead :| he looked really really good for being dead 10 weeks and still danced quite well too. he had such a young baby face and his skin was perfect like a child's - i wonder what it all means :| oh and there was a big stair stepper machine so you could learn to moonwalk before the show :)

of course all this MJness made me want to listen to him again this morning . it's been at least a week since i last watched this video and tried for the millionth time to count how many times MJ spins around at 0.43 seconds :) his music has sooooooo many wonderful memories of this Summer... spending all day at the beach with great friends, my boys getting browner and browner each passing week and their hair smelling like the ocean or swimming pool every single day. MJ will forever be my personal soundtrack of how a summer should be spent:)

this morning i ordered some pictures at costco. i cannot possibly wait if i have ordered pictures, i have to go and get them that very second :| so off i set to hell on earth: tustin costco. after dragging 40 pounds of cat litter into the cart, toting around a really really HUMUNGOUS new vacuum cleaner in a box taller than me, frantically tearing apart that coupon book to save $7 on cd-roms, and waiting on those damned pictures even AFTER the pickup time, i ventured to the car - over those very annoying bumps that they have outside for absolutely no reason. what is with those bumps? they are like an earthquake and i fear everything in my cart will break and anything under the cart will fall out and forget it if your kid is sitting in the cart - those bumps cause shaken baby syndrome, i am quite sure of it :| as i got to my car, there was a line of pathetic losers all with their turn signal on, waiting for my space :| i had the 40 pounds of cat litter, the 6 foot tall vacuum cleaner and $297 of other crap to load into my car.... but i had to toss everything in fast as i could and vacate my space, so as not to displease the people anxiously waiting for it :|

on the way home from hell, i wanted to look at my pictures. desperately! so at each light i feverishly picked up my envelope and slid them out a little. and as i did, the lights immediately changed to green. every single time i reached for that envelope. for 5.6 miles of never-ending traffic lights :| and if i'd wanted the lights to all be green, they would have been red... life is so completely unfair, especially when it involves shopping at tustin costco.

oh well, off to school again, the fun never ends....
