Woke up this morning at my parent's lake house to a really weird series of dreams - the last of which involved being at a sushi bar/club in NYC - with some old friends, one of which was hitting on me heavilly. I vaguely remember that I had a minor crush on her, but only as a friend - we hit it off well, nothing would have ever happened of it back then because I was in a very long term relationship (now since dissolved). The progression of the dream seemed very natural, fun, sensual - like swimming naked with another...something strangely fluid. Felt comforting - did not want to wake up.

Woke up smelling coffee - yes! Had to walk off my excitement from the dream before going upstairs, putting away my guest bed attrutrements, and brushing teeth before I could appear less flustered. Had coffee & breakfast with the parents then outlined the day of events to tackle...."gotta replace the downstairs backyard light....feed the wild birds....need to set up compound saw to prepare for the mitred shelves...." over coffee, toast, and clementines.

After all the "chores" were complete...I loaded the car while it warmed up in the 20 degree weather and said farewell to my parents - thanking them for the night. I was ready to go home, albeit a 4.5 hour drive.

Not much to say about the drive other than how uncannilly crisp the air was - to match the frosty drifts of rural americana in a gaussian blur wisking past me at a smooth 70mph. Made it back earlier than I thought I would - back to take on an eye exam that I had been procrastinating.

Found myself wandering around the MALL (agad, hack, snort, hack...), while waiting for my glasses to be finished - nothing but a blissful snatch of suburban diatribism. The sheeple were a walking mass of individuazed dopplegangers without a shadow of the pop-heros that they idolized - whether it was Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Timberlake, Eminem, Martha Stewart, Bill Clinton, Christine AlegufuckifIcannotspellherName, Ray Romano and Bill Moyers. A walking mass of temporal cliches. It was staggeringly scary how it seemed - like Halloween. No wonder I hate malls. I did manage to be sucked into a few post xmess deals - took my mind off the reality tv sheeple. Picked up my glasses and I was the hell outta there.

Came home, unpacked what little I had left - ate some dinner, wrote a few thank you notes - the cracked open a beer to relax for the night. Phew...glad xmess is over.
