Dentist is seeing me. Hygienist is putting thin bars in my lower jaw between teeth, sticking out of my mouth against my lips for leverage, asks me to really give them pressure, supposed to be aligning something. Teeth feel out of alignment after but the hygienist is polite so I go along with it.

The dentist comes in, middle aged guy. Starts to go over paperwork and remarks on how some if my insurance information is missing, gets flabbergasted and really catty about it. I ask what he needs from me he says something like I need you to pay attention or something. He points out the section of my insurance information where ive put down all 0’s and I point out that there have clearly been other numbers but they’ve been erased. He starts getting visibly angry and I say you know what fuck you bill me for the job you’ve done so far but I’m leaving.

Lisa and I parking the car at home, but not our house. We exit the car thinking the job is done. We didn’t put it in park, we didn’t even shut off the car. The car jumps backwards in reverse as if the throttle was pressed all the way down, we’re scrambling to try and get back safely into this lurching vehicle.

Lisa had to drop something off at someone’s house. It was a little bungalow, very small appearing but actually spacious inside. Mostly a living room and a bedroom.

We dropped off a note and I’m not sure what the note was. I was creeped out and put the note and the key inside the house. I wasnt supposed to leave the key inside but id locked it from the inside and I didn’t want to get locked in, too.

Was trying to get Korean food for my family. At first I think it was just for me, for class.

Order took forever. I just got something ordinary but they never finished it. I went to the back and asked whoever was there how long. They kept saying a few more minutes. I asked what they had done so far. They wouldn’t answer.

I hung out with one of the guys in the back, trying to get him to have compassion, asking him how he’d feel if after his shift he waited two hours for food. He said maybe dont come here next time and or leave early. I said I gave the place a pass because they usually werent this long and are the only Korean place nearby.

I was taking a class in nyc, possibly through Cornell. During the class we get notified that there’s a gargantuan flood heading our way. Lisa and I find a box truck to try to get out of the city. She drives us to one of the tunnels, but she’s cursing and tries to turn around; i ask if she meant to take us here. Clearly a tunnel isn’t the best place to be during a flood.

Saw Natalie larin again. It was a family reunion so not sure why she was there. Couldve been school reunion too but my dads family was definitely there. She was showing me a game or reality show, hosted by someone named Tortilla, who was a pregnant woman.

Was playing borderlands with ian and alex. Last session didn’t save, and I knew this because I had my grenade mod unequipped. We were supposed to have met Jesus and “fought the cockroaches”.

Later, a party thrown by some people on a big hilly lawn. The host is trying to do magic; I get called to participate. My card is the 7 of hearts. He pulls my card correctly, but he says to look at the wall while he produces our card; not very convincing.

I was in my room but at a desk. I had some sort of opiate injections. A special injector offered a steady stream of drug. A white milky liquid had to be removed from the body and into the sink. Lisa asked if I was coming with her to swap out her tires — I was too numb and probably wasnt a good idea to be out in public, in case I got arrested.

I was incrementally modifying an AI prompt to produce output that makes the very premise of prompting AI increasingly more ridiculous. The prompt had something to do with asking for the correct dimensions of the output(?)

IRL context: covid vaccine which gives me flu symptoms and makes it hard to sleep.

In our attic, looking around with a flashlight to make sure water from a rainstorm isnt going anywhere bad. I peer over a railing into darkness with a flashlight. At the bottom I see old junk, but looking farther and farther I see buildings in the darkness. A cat the size of a jaguar strolls into the light, and it has what looks like many kittens all over its bum. I wasnt sure if they were alive. I remark it must be living on mice down there.
