Wednesday, August 06, 2003 The One With Layby, the Doors to ER, Maccas, and oh yeah.. the male leads from Party Of Five! Can you believe it? There is only 1, ONE!!, more episode of Futurama to go EVER!!! *big fat sad face* Oh well. It's better to have loved Futurama and lost, than to never loved it at all. Here's a dream I had quite some time ago... Enjoy This one's for Nicole: Dear ALL! Howdy. OK, I'll launch right in shall I?? *cue dream music* OK, this is one of THE most vivid and bizarre dreams I have ever had. When I woke up I couldn't believe how much of it I had remembered. I hope I get the sequence of events right, but if not: WHO CARES, right?? I was serving someone in the wonderful Layby Dept at good ol' Kmart Forest Hill when, lo and behold, who happened to want to put a VCR on Layby!? Yes, it was Charlie and Bailey from the all-American teen-soap-drama-farce "Party Of Five". They were both wearing sunglasses, for those flourescent lights CAN be damaging to one's eyes, but that's another story. They wanted to layby a VCR. Normal, huh? NO!!! This VCR was wonderous! I didn't know why, and I still don't, but I **wanted** that VCR!! I don't think it was the last one, but I just wanted that one! I was delaying their layby, saying the computer had stuffed up and stuff when Abbey (for those who don't know... other school cap'n) and Shane came thru the side door. I completely forgot that I was serving Bailey and Charlie and proceeded to teach Shane and Abbey how to Layby. They then got frustrated, I heard a scream and ran out the side door only to be confronted with the "doors to the E.R.". Do you know the ones?? If you've seen E.R. they have those big, plastic push-doors that you can run right through. There are similar ones to the entrance of the stockroom @ Kmart, but we were not in Forest Hill anymore, Toto. No, sirree! This was Chicago, Illinois. So I stormed thru the E.R. doors and onto the 'floor' of Kmart, only to find that it was a fusion of E.R. and Kmart. There were medical beds around the place, and people in white coats and blue 'ready-to-be-operated-on' gowns... Yes, gowns.. that's the word I wanted. But there also people 'serving' customers too!!! I walked over to Sound and Vision, for I REALLY liked the VCR (to tune of *really like the vest* from "See My Vest") and by this stage, an extra had raced up and put my white doctor's coat on. I entered the Dept. and all of a sudden the fixtures from the Layby Dept. were just sitting in the S/Vision dept!! And on these shelves were NOT VCRs (much to my dismay) but piles and piles of Garfield / Tin Tin and Noddy books. I was thumbing through these for a while when I turned back and saw Dr. Mark Greene leaning down (ultra ULTRA slow-mo), lit match at the ready, ready to light what looked like a trail of petrol. He DID light it and the flames danced along the trail, and through to the 'clock-on' area. Cut to me driving to a Drive Thru McDonalds area smelling excessive amounts of petrol, trying to see if Bailey and Charlie were working. They weren't working at the Drive Thru, like they SHOULD'VE BEEN (I found that weird in the dream too..... I must equated 'acting' to being a 'check-out chick' or in their cases 'chaps') I sat down with them, for now they HAD their VCR with them and were proudly displaying it to their friends and colleagues. I approaced them with my 6 coins of gold (3 2-dollar coins) and they GLADLY accepted 4 dollars of that, which was strange I thought cos the item you wanted to Layby HAD TO be 20 dollars.... Hmmmmmmm. Cut back to Layby. I think this scene had already happened (like a "Go" perspective thing), but I was still me. This time when I heard the scream, I didn't run onto the E.R / Kamrt floor, but rather through the stockroom and out to a football field. By this stage I was frantic, and running like I've never ran before. I reached a small little house-ish place, and went inside... Only to find that it was Kmart!!! "And the cycle is complete". I looked back and saw Rhiannon Bruce (girl who works at Kmart) wearing her uniform getting ready to start her shift, taking over from me, but had some unfinished business to take care of. I ran back out of the shack and saw that the football field was now frequented by patrons. They were SCREAMING and CHANTING (something like this anyway): "Layby's fares are way too high, 1 dollar 10, we won't pay, we won't pay" (I can't even rhyme in my dreams!!) =^) So I HAD TO go 'back' to the 'non-Rhiannon-Layby-place' (the first one) and change all signage and envelopes that displayed the 1 dollar, 10 cent service fee. I did this REALLY quickly and raced back to the Rhiannon-Layby-place (the shack), with the fervent chanters ever present on the way there. Just as I reached the shack and opened the door, the dream cut to Bailey standing as a silhouette on a waterfall. The colours went all surreal and the waters were deep greys and blues on a backdrop of black. Time stopped, or at least slowed considerably with the once fast-flowing water now merely a trickle and for a moment, I 'understood'. Understood what, you ask? Even *I* don't know. Stay tuned. posted by AJ | 5:31 PM | | ||
