DREAM: I am one of two volunteers required to stand in an enclosed 4-foot-deep water tank with a dome-like roof while being observed by scientists. While standing I’m supposed to be flipped a certain amount of times. The room is dark with a shade of blue light glimmering all around. As I’m preparing for the experiment I watch a man sitting in a wooden school desk start yapping away in an auctioneer’s voice, but its talk radio. I assume this is being broadcasted. I’m thirsty but it’s understood the water has chlorine in it so I can’t drink it.
Waking up just after 11 a.m.
Breakfast: Organic Strawberry Pop Tart. Orange Juice.
Starting my 10-shift at China Wok.
Text conversation with Margot…
Her: “WTF WAS TRYING TO GO BACK TO SLEEP AND FELT SOMETHING ON MY ARM! THOUGHT IT WAS HAIR BUT IT WAS A FUCKING SPIDER CRAWLING TOWARDS MY FACE. A FUCKING SPIDER THAT YOU LIKE HAVING IN YOUR HOUSE. I’M KILLING THEM ALL. THEY ATTACKED FIRST. I’M SUPER PARANOID NOW.”
Me: “he just wanted ur affection. the average human swallows 7 spiders in their sleep throughout a lifetime.”
Her: “That doesn’t make it ok for it to happen. ESPECIALLY not to me.”
Me: “which spider was it? the tiny black fury one?”
Her: “No it had a small body and long skinny legs. And I think it might’ve jumped off me before I flicked it off. HE WAS COMING TO GET INSIDE MY EAR AND LAY EGGS.”
Me: “oh that’s the nice one. just a daddy long leg. he likes you and wants you to have his babies.”
Her: “It was not a daddy long leg. His legs were not that long. NO BABIES WITH SPIDERS ONLY YOU!”
Me: “if i had 8 legs would you still have babies with me?”
Her: “Only if you could make them go away”
Eating a Mango and an Avocado with Potato Chips.
Reading Adbusters while I wait for orders.
Satisfying my random craving for an Oreo Blizzard. Waiting at a stoplight holding the Blizzard in my hand and Nirvana cranked on the stereo. These two black girls pull up next to me in a big red truck. I hear laughing and giggling. I acknowledge them after turning the music down and they wave back. Earlier I remember seeing them in the restaurant waiting for their Chinese food. I guess they saw me running in and out, and found it humorous that I stopped at Dairy Queen while I was delivering.
The driving never stops. The driving never stops. The driving never stops.
Finally it stops. I’m home.
Carmen helps me make an Egg Sandwich with Mayonnaise and Tomato.
Honey Green Tea.
Joining the crowd downstairs. Of course, Twilight Zone is on, specifically “The Obsolete Man,” which according to Kevin is one of the best episodes, and he would know since he owns and has seen all of them. After seeing it I have to agree with him. One of the best.
Me: “Anthony, there really is a lot of people in here.” Both couches are at capacity.
Eating a few slices of Pizza and sipping on a Mickey’s.
A fun little conversation sparked with Josh, Kevin, Aj, and Kelley. Paranoia. Truth. Fact. Fiction. Action. East VS West. I VS We.
Dumpster Diving with Josh and Aj—coming back with bags of bread and produce. None of me and mine shall ever go hungry.
Feeling a slight cold coming on—nose running—constantly blowing it, an obnoxious honk every time.
Eating Lentil Vegetable Soup.
Sleep 5:20 a.m.
