In Dreamland v8.1

i was in my current bedroom in el paso, tx with my mom and my aunt monica. we were talking about my aunt's medical issues. no one else seemed to care very much. then she started bleeding. i broke down and asked my mom why she hadn't gone to the doctor. my mom said she had and that her doctor said there was nothing he could do about it. it was something related to her chest, which i didn't understand. so i confronted my aunt and asked her why she didn't go to another doctor. she said she couldn't afford another doctor and she had her family's expenses to think about. all of a sudden we were at my grandmother's house in columbus, nm. she was looking out the window and asked if i wanted to go party with the people in the hotel across the street. they were from des moines, iowa.

i was back in hanover with my aunt monica and uncle dan. only the campus was a cross between dartmouth's campus and that of indiana university of pennsylvania. i was under the impression i was there to serve as a tour guide; however, as i soon realized anytime i asked them a question or pointed out something of interest, i was ignored.

we all got our paychecks at the same time. we noticed we were all paid less than usual. a lot less. someone said "there are zeros missing from my paycheck."

someone else said "it must be all the cutbacks."

Wicked Karma, part 2

Earlier this evening I set off to the grocery store. My sole mission - a small onion and some garlic.

Then I saw an orange and thought I could take it for lunch tomorrow. Then I remembered Wilson was out of sugar. The I saw one of those plastic floppy cutting boards and figured we could use one. Then I wanted a diet coke.

Okay, so finally I get to the check out counter - my six items and I were in the "15 or Fewer Items" line. Behind a woman with 17 items (yes, I counted). This, of course, annoyed me. Then, she she added the straw that broke this camel's back. A bag of Dorito's from the impulse buy section.

Are you still with me? That's 18 items. In the 15 or Fewer Line!! She, in a neighborly way, looked at me and smiled. All I could hear was "I know I have 18 items, but I'm in front of you and you can't do anything about it because the cashier just scanned my first box of Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix." So I looked at her. Looked at her items. Looked at the sign that said "15 or Fewer Items," then looked right at her.

She knew I meant business.

So she bagged her items and carried them out of the store. All 18 of them.

So I get up the cashier and she begins scanning my items (my 6 items, may I remind you). Then (this is where the karma kicks in) ...

I didn't have my wallet.

So along with my onion, my garlic, my sugar, my cutting board, my orange and diet coke, I had me a nice slice of humble pie.

Tim: I was gonna give this dozen roses to this girl I liked, but I decided not to. Do you want them?

Ann-Marie: If anyone's gonna give me 12 of anything it's gonna be inches.
