City Nuked

At anias or some place similar. Lisa and I are watching a video my brother is streaming from a baseball game in town on my phone. It’s probably new york, hes probably in Queens at a mets game and we’re in harlem. I think we’re in the dining room, looking towards the living room.

Lisa asks how I know the games going well, and I explain how I know. Maybe I elaborate on how a pitcher striking everyone out is okay but it leaves nothing for everyone else to do and maybe it would be good to spread the effort around the team so the pitcher isnt the only one tired. But what do I know I dont really care for sports.

Monsters

Monsters; something about white alligators that hopped like grasshoppers, some Star Wars droid aliens over the river attacking me as I tried to flee.

We had some repairs done around the house. Looks vaguely like anias place but certainly no place id been before. We needed help mounting something to the ceiling and repairing some drywall. An older guy did the drywall; he left us a portrait of him. A younger pair of white guys helped with the ceiling fixture. For some reason, all I needed to do was screw something in fairly straightforward but I had a harness or something that held me parallel to the ceiling made out of my ratchet straps that I was trying to set up. The guys snickered, and made me feel insecure about my ability to fix things.

Britain Lunch Line

In britain, perhaps working, pgr must have moved. Had a team meeting previously, sobum was managing us now and mentioned that this had been a hard difficult year. I recall feeling good connecting and chatting with him. We were doing some weird team building exercise that involved some mimeing; I remember being prompted to act like i was sprinkling something in my eyes.

We watched a movie with Megans group. We were at anias apartment in nyc though. A slight shift in setting, the movie came alive and the actors were performing amidst the doors and halls of my grandmothers apartment. One was from downton abbey who played the head butler. The other I dont know. I asked someone else watching if they were in show business because they were very good. They mentioned the man was, and I felt dumb for asking, of course, I must have forgotten after a nap.

Chinatown

Lisa and I in NYC. We see the hill to my grandmas house. A boy like McCauley Caulkin is trying to get up the hill but keeps sliding back down. I say it’s a 30-40ft climb, quite steep.

We come out of the train station near chinatown. Lisa asks me if we had kidney(liver?) dumplings before, I said no but I didn’t care to try it. We double back because I knew there was a car we could use. Seemed like someone’s custom built roadster. We speed off and as we pass a building, the whole side of it starts peeling off.

Tree

Lisa and I planning a trip. One of our main concerns is traveling with a duffel bag, will it be ok when it rains? We’re expecting torrential rains.

We’re living in the NYC house. We hear commotion outside. A tree limb snapped off one of the trees. Unsure if anyone is hurt. I continue to make espresso, because my contribution is that I can make good coffee regardless of circumstance.

Work

On a time study. We’re tracking this person. Theyve got a rabbit?

Gathered at work event. Many in attendance. On a big lawn together. Steve and an unknown lady talking about business? Someone says it’s hard to describe to people what we do, in a sort of dismissive way. I look around (suddenly we’re at Ania’s house) and offer that it’s really not, we just maximize what we take from the customer, and minimize accidents (I really meant minimize what we pay for the accidents). Later I also add — to myself — we also maximize customers. I think I saw Nathan Breitch there.

NY Dream

Lisa and I visiting NY. Were in flushing, and were looking to go to the library. We get off the subway at a particular place — we’re in flushing alright, I remark.

We find my grandmother, she asks if we’ve gotten the item from the library (there’s some sort of quest item that attaches to your wrist when you go). No I say, because we wanted to get the specific one from flushing, and not the starting item. Maybe this one was better.

Titanfall

Dreamt Lisa and I prepping for Christmas. On line waiting to mail letters. Letters sent by teams now. Long line through narrow corridor. Get to postal agent and she informs us of the absurd price. I get mad. We return home through thick snow. Neighbor is a strange place.

I’m driving my Corolla. Near grandmas apartment. Something bad happens and some crazy fucking lady tries to get into my car. I speed away up the hill, stopping between two people. I convince them to find out what happened with the scary lady. Hae Kim was being trafficked in a block of ice.

Walter White

At Ania’s house.

Had several weapons, defending hallway against nazis or something. The hallway was extremely long. Ended up with two pistols.

Scenario changes slightly. I’m back in Ania’s house. Notice an acquaintance talking with strangers. I figure the best way to make money is to pretend acquaintance is a mugger and scare him off with the pistols, and we collect reward money.

Toward the entrance of the apartment, some friends come in. I offer to do something for them, something food related. They decline.

Military Logistics

At Ania’s previous.

In the military, but basically doing field work, but in a suburb? Manual f250 truck was mine to use. Did some sql queries on org structure of the buildings in the town. Severe flooding. Drove the truck down the road, we were evacuating. Left a kayak or canoe by the side of the road, figured I should get it. Water was very deep, so I tipped the truck on its side for whatever reason, thinking it’d be easier to get the boat in. Others helping me out.
