FryingMan

early:

+ dad, S blvd., car battery, speed detector? ("giving it away free, someone will steal it")

+ (f) of course everyone chooses my brother-in-law's family, they have the new video game

+ (f) I suddenly notice (although I feel I've known all along) that the famous statue is missing from the big building.

+ "reek", fast car, fast food drive-through, get stuck our car is too long

+ son, brown monitor (red and green blow up), explosion/meteor house outside window, "oh that's not good", jump out to douse fire, go to hose/faucet, turn it on, trying to find the end of the hose among a huge jumble of hoses

+ I'm on my way to museum (LH) in shorts and no shoes, should I take my motorcycle? restaurant kiosks set up along the brick of of the L's house on HC, 3 kids there (2 girls, one boy, a girl and the boy are siblings, 10-12 yo, I'm same age). We talk about things, go for a ride, someones says "hey we could do a double date!" I agree. I'm driving up hill, powerful minivan going fast, enter private drive, crazy people there with chihuahuas jumping around like fleas, turn around and run to exit, they're closing the gate, don't make it, security guards at gate, they don't want people to take out the (dogs?). My friends captured but I'm freed, I return to save them, pull them back to the gate, their hands and feet are bloody and deformed because the captors forced them to wear old opened cans as shoes.

On the way out the foam in the garage is all exploding. I'm shooting a foam blobs from a gun at the garage door to force it open, trouble aiming, eventually get it open.

Outside, (Captain Kirk?) gives the order to eliminate the foam blobs, but not all of them because we have to eat something?

WBTB

later:

+ ex-gf DB in cafeteria, looks just like when we were dating, hurry over to see her before she leaves, haven't seen her in years, she's suddenly gone when I sit down and say "Hello"

+ in apartment, with ex-gf DB, calling ex-gf DB who lives across the country, get her answering machine, hear her voice saying something on the greeting, doesn't quite sound like her, but her college roommate then speaks and has a gritty gravely female voice, that was definitely her roommate and not DB. DB is with me during this call to DB . She sits on the couch and I straddle her and start making out. She has a runny nose and a small drop of liquid is hanging off the end of her nose. I decide not to wipe it away and to start making out with her anyway, I'm insistent but she' largely non-responsive. I leave a message that DB and her roommate should travel and come and visit us.

+ childhood home, look down to deck, DD (jr hs bf) is lounging there. I dramatically roll off the window sill and slowly float down to him, doing a "ta-da!" entrance. Look over railing down to lawn, which is covered in deep green lush grass, and see a pride of lions (4-5) lounging around there. I go down to the back lawn and there is a thought of someone taking care of them and wiping the butt of one of the lions (I give him a baby wipe?). I return back up the stairs and I do not want to have any part in cleaning up their giant turds.

+ grad school friend (N&A) AT it turns out was born in Germany and so should be fluent in German. View of her childhood home [false] in France, overhead map. Outdoor scene where I "remember" [false] being on vacation in Cr. Stone formations in the hillside, open fields around. Walking by hillside and observing stone stratas. See a tiny church in a yard farther on that now supposedly has been finish, wife points it out excitedly to me. Priest at first doesn't want to stop but then everybody is rapturous at our return and gives a big tour. The area up on the hill has been developed and now 4-5 finished houses stand up there, I say "yay!" and everybody applauds. Walking through area with tons of cages full of little kittens. Im looking for the older can I "remember" from last time. Turn back, then a strange gnome thing / animal leads us on a further walking tour, down rope ladder bridges, saying things, and I'm making rhyming puns of everything it says.

+ outside with DB, walking around, touring, the guy says "hey let's play a round later at the golf course" and I agree enthusiastically. DB runs up a hill quickly and I think I'm not so young any more to keep up with her but I try (man she can go fast).

Talk to some people at the door of a house, a funny older man is there, he comes out, someone asks if we kept an eye on our wallet the (last time something happened), the man is sitting on a sloping hill counting his money, and is angry that we tried to set him up with a women (who is stealing his money?).
