I WAS GOING TO SOME SORT OF FUND-RAISER PARTY. KATE BUSH WAS THERE WITH MY GROUP AND WE BECAME FAST FRIENDS. I WAS TRYING TO FIND A CAMERA SO SOMEONE COULD TAKE A PICTURE OF THE TWO OF US TOGETHER, BUT COULDN'T.

I WAS AT THE PLANETARIUM. A SCALE MODEL SPACE STATION SLOWLY ROLLED OUT ONTO DISPLAY AND I WAS PLAYING WITH IT. IT WAS BATTERY POWERED. I WAS FLOATING ON A HOVERCRAFT-STYLE RIDE AND WAS GETTING PRETTY HIGH. I WAS OUTSIDE GOING UP AND DOWN THE BLOCK ON THE RIDE TRYING TO CATCH WHAT I WAS CALLING "GREMLINS" IN MY MIND (THEY WERE REALLY JUST LIZARDS). I WOULD SWOOP DOWN, TRY TO GRAB THEM, THEN SHOOT BACK, LIKE 50 FEET. LIZARDS WITH MOHAWKS WERE MORE VALUABLE BUT ALSO MORE DANGEROUS.

I FLEW LOW TO TRY TO GET THEM ONE LAST TIME BUT THEN MY HOVERCRAFT (WHICH WAS BECOMING MORE LIKE YOUR TRADITIONAL MAGIC CARPET) STARTED TO STALL AS ONE OF THE MOHAWKED LIZARD SNAPPED AT MY FINGERS. I WAS SCARED.

I WENT BACK HOME -- I WAS BACK IN COLLEGE, LIVING IN A DORM -- AND WENT TO N.F.'S ROOM. SHE TAPED A LIST OF HER CDS ONTO HER DOOR. I WAS LOOKING FOR A PRETENDER'S CD BECAUSE I WANTED TO HEAR CHRISSIE HYNDE'S VOICE.

REMEMBER MY FIND-MONEY-ON-THE-GROUND MAGIC TRICK?

WELL IT REALLY WORKS!

LND:

SISTER ROMA HAD ME OVER TO HER APARTMENT. IT WAS ON THE BASEMENT-LEVEL AND A GIANT RESTAURANT-STYLE WALK-IN FREEZER. THERE WERE SOME OTHER PEOPLE AROUND. SHE WAS GRILLING CARNE ASADA. I WENT BY THE GRILL TO WARM UP. IT WAS SO COLD. I ASKED HER WHERE SHE BOUGHT THE CARNE ASADA BECAUSE I HAD A HARD TIME FINDING PLACES THAT SOLD MEAT IN THE TENDERLOIN.

THERE WAS ARABIC WRITING IN THE FOAM OF MY CRYSTAL LIGHT PEACH ICED TEA. IF ANYONE SPEAKS ARABIC, EMAIL ME AND I'LL SEND YOU A PICTURE AND YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO TELL ME.

LAST NIGHT'S DREAM

THERE WAS A BACKWARDS SATANIC MESSAGE AT THE END OF THE OUTGOING MESSAGE OF MY SISTER'S VOICEMAIL. I SCREAMED AS LOUD AS I COULD.
