My super cool dream.

I had this really cool dream the other night that I am really proud of. Kris and I were on some kind of game show where teams composed of two people had to do these stupid tasks. The only one that I remember was us using some kind of pump to inflate a giant yellow elephant balloon, but ours had a hole in it. I was trying to fix it, but Kris pointed out that the rules said we had to inflate the balloon, but not that it had to stay inflated, so once we finished, we just abandoned it with air leaking out of it. We were winning, too. We ran down this hallway, turned a corner, and I started running down the stairs so that we could get outside and run toward some kind of mountain, where our last task awaited us. As I ran down the stairs, I looked over and saw one of the other teams--oddly enough composed of Dick Cheney and Angelina Jolie--trying to inflate their giant elephant balloon, only theirs was purple. Angelina was wearing an evening gown and high heels with her hand on her hip while Cheney tried to inflate the balloon, and they were bitching at each other. I turned to Kris so that we could point and laugh, but I couldn't find him. I got to the bottom of the stairs and looked around, and suddenly he sailed down from this ledge up high, landed on his feet in some kind of kung fu pose, and looked over at me. I said, "Let's roll," and he rolled his eyes and said, "Let's just go." We started running toward the mountain, and that was about the time Kris woke me up. I still wonder what that last challenge was.

The only thing that I remember from before the contest started was that we were on a ferris wheel with Kate Moss and she passed us a joint. Weird.

I'm trying to talk Kris into seeing The Holiday with me on his day off. I only want to see it to watch Jack Black and Kate Winslet get together, and now I've waited long enough that if we go to a matinee, there probably won't be anybody else there. (I hate crowds--well, other people, really--so I always try to time my movie experiences that way. The only one I didn't do that with was Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, and I absolutely couldn't wait for that one, so I went to a matinee on opening day. There still weren't very many people there, but I was the only one laughing out loud. I'm still not sure what was wrong with everyone else.)

Time to finish my DVD. I'm putting Slither and an episode of Scrubs on a disc for Mom. Tonight we watch "The Game"!
