I’m still not entirely sure if I’m awake or if I’m still dreaming…
Last night I had one of the strangest dreams ever. That is saying a lot coming from me because I have some pretty weird dreams. I’m going to do my best to lay it out for you.
Ok, here’s the weirdest part of the dream – I was asleep the entire time (remember this), but in my dream, I was sleeping and having other dreams, so it was like a bunch of little dreams within a dream. It went like this. In my dream I was sleeping, but not very well. I kept waking up and each time I woke up in my dream I left one dream and then fell back asleep into another. In my dream it was like I was watching myself sleep and dream and wake up and roll over, sleep and dream, etc. etc. I only remember a few of the small dreams, but I feel like there were more.
1. In the first dream within a dream that I remember I was Sarah in “Labyrinth” trying to get to Jareth’s castle to save baby Toby, but it was funny because while I was being led around by Hoggle, the whole time I was singing – You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? You do? What? Remind me of the babe. (I love this movie, if you have not seen it, you must immediately go and watch it)
2. In another one I was on a swing set of sorts with a friend. I say “of sorts” because the swings weren’t really attached to anything and we were just swinging opposite directions facing each other in the air. He jumped off his swing and disappeared and then I did the same and that was the end of that one.
3. This one was great. Probably about 4 or 5 years ago I had a dream where Sum and I traveled to Germany or somewhere like that and spied on a school for male models. This was like a re-run of that dream, which was pretty funny in itself but the fact that this long after I had the original dream, I had a condensed version, is pretty hysterical.
4. The last one I remember is my favorite. I was with my brother and sister and we were running and then all of a sudden my sister started leap frogging over me and my brother, but we were still running and we were upright so my sister was a super leap frogger. She wasn’t just putting her hands on our shoulders and jumping over us like you might be imagining – she was actually crouching down and leaping from the ground over us and back to the crouched position without ever touching us. We stopped and decided that this deserved some attention so we spent the rest of the dream trying to get my sister some recognition for her amazing leap frog ability. We held a fair and I hate to say it, but we put her on display like a freak show. (sorry sis) It was awesome.
So anyways, this morning when my alarm went off and I hit snooze a few times, I was really confused, because a little part of me still thought this was part of the dream. It wasn’t, and I ended up oversleeping and being a little late to work. Unless of course it is still last night and I’m only dreaming that I’m at work…
A Perfect Getaway
Last night I went to a movie with my brother. My list of movies that I wanted to see did not include A Perfect Getaway, but I let him talk me into it. I’m glad I did. It was really good. I thought it was more of a horror movie, but it was more suspense than anything. I obviously did not pay close enough attention to the trailer.
I won’t give anything away, because I think you should all go see it, but I actually picked up on something in the movie ahead of time and that my friends is a miracle. Usually I never see anything see anything coming. Even though my guess panned out, I still really enjoyed how everything played out.
I LOVE IMDb.com,
but I bet movie editors/directors hate it. I know I wouldn’t like it if there was a Web site out there that pointed out my errors (not that I make any, but you know what I mean) I don’t spend as much time on there as my friend KA, but I do check it out occasionally when I can’t figure out what else someone has been in. Then, I almost always end up looking at the “goofs” section, and I am usually amazed at how many mistakes there are in the movie I’m looking at.
I never notice these things as I’m watching a movie, but I guess there are people out there that do – “Hey Bob, did you see that, it looks like the boom mic came into the shot a little bit”
My question is this – where does IMDb.com get their info – do they pay someone to catch these mistakes so they can put them on the Web site? If so, how is it that these people can catch these mistakes, but the person editing the movie misses them? Do you think it is a big deal in the movie editing world because I don’t know if I’ve ever come across a movie without something listed in this section.
One of my favorite IMDb finds – The girl that played the teenage Jenny (Jennifer Garner’s character) in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is the same girl that played young Jenna (Jennifer Garner’s character) in 13 Going on Thirty.
Ghosts, prom and mimosas
What a nice weekend. Friday I saw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with KA. It was pretty good. Like most movies of it’s kind, it was pretty predictable, but what can you expect. There always has to be a happy ending. Saturday I woke up and went to a yoga class in the morning, then went shopping for something to wear to Pub Prom last night. I was considering wearing an old bridesmaid dress, but thought I would go with something a little less glamorous.
I found a cute dress and then spent about 40 minutes curling my hair, which wasn’t in vain I guess because mine actually stayed curled all night. It was a fun night. I couldn’t help but wonder how many people there were at the bar for the first time and wondering what the eff was going on with the decorations and “red carpet” Our friend was voted prom king, but unfortunately Blondie did not win prom queen. I think this is only because you had to pay $1 per vote, and well we are all pretty cheap.
Today, after church I went to meet up with Sum and we headed down to Midtown for lunch and some mimosas, where we got caught up about current love interests and gossip. Then we got hit on by a table of lesbians, ordered another pitcher and made a few new friends. I guess this is what happens when you are the only straight people in the whole place. Apparently we just have to check out this drag show one of the girls runs at some bar we had never heard of. Sum and I are so naive, we didn’t even know that drag shows with lesbians even existed. Who knows maybe we’ll expand our horizons and go check it out.
I finally made it home around 5:30 and took a short nap (well not really, it lasted 2 hours). Now I’m watching The Soup and wishing that I lived in Australia so I could watch the show “Australian Ladettes into Ladies” The clips are HILARIOUS.
You’d think I was going to Australia, not San Francisco…
Three books, my iPod, a DVD player, two movies, 8 episodes of My So Called Life – I think I’ve got plenty to keep me busy on the 5 hour flight 
Movies I have not seen.
Last night as we were flipping through the channels my brother and I came across the end of “Braveheart” He seemed really surprised that I hadn’t seen it. Then after that “Frequency” came on, which I absolutely love. That took us to a conversation about James Caviezel and what he’s been up to. My brother started talking about him playing Jesus in “The Passion of the Christ,” and then I surprised him again by mentioning that I haven’t seen it either. Then he asked if I had a problem with Mel Gibson, but that’s not it at all. I just never really felt the need to see them. I think “Braveheart” is on my Netflix queue somewhere, but considering I’ve had “Mama Mia” and “Hamlet 2″ sitting next to my TV long enough that I could have just bought them both, I don’t think I’ll be getting to it any time soon…
