The Dream
Last night I dreamed that I went to Texas to visit ehowton. The drive only took four hours. When I got there, the inside of the house was dark and had tones of yellowed aging.
I walked in and we shook hands and began to visit. There were babies crawling everywhere! On the couch, on the floor…it was a nightmare. drax0r and Mrs. Drax0r were in the kitchen in the background somewhere.
I then dreamed that my family showed up…that is minus Pumblechook. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out where he was or why he wasn’t there. Whatever. I made the introductions all around.
Eric was tired. All he wanted to do was sit in one of the wooden chairs in the dining room (which was part of the living room and carpeted). He was very unresponsive. I remembered thinking “Poor Eric.”
Then I picked up one of the babies that was crawling on the table. It was Chloe (the expected). I remember that I accidentally nicked the table with her back and started thinking that I’d incur the wrath of Mr. and Mrs. Drax0r.
Then I woke up.
I swear I’ve been as sober as a judge for several weeks.
What the hell?
EDIT:
I found this image and since it fit so well with the post, I couldn’t pass up an oppurtunity to use it.

I could tell you about the time I opened up a clamshell Ibook to put an 80 gig 5400 rpm drive in (the 7200 was not cost effective)
I took photos every step of the way so I could blog about it.
When I got to the last step and got the enclosure with the old 10 gig drive in it out, and unzipped the plastic from the 80 gig drive, I found I had purchased a sata drive and not an IDE. Pricewatch.com is not that complicated, unless you are…
Nevermind.
Then when I closed it all back up, I found I still had three screws out. I still have them for when I try that again.
My geek buddies laughed and laughed and laughed, as much as you can in a shell terminal and I was humbled.
So I started my closet-masochist blog.
Read on, we will get back to unix someday…
Creepy dream!
are judges r e a l l y that sober as a rule? – man, if i had that weight , i’d keep a hollow gavel full of bushmills…
Benjimon76′s site is shut down the day after she comments on here? WTF? I want to read her.
That’s fucked up.
Life is life. And no, I’m not dead. I’m on msn fairly often if you’d ever like to chat sometime.
“is it wrong to shoot Liberals?”
Not so long as you have the proper tag.
I have another story for you…
I was mixing a drink and I splashed rum all over my G4 ibook, again.
It was never a problem before, but this time there was some corrosion and the inputs for 8ik, and 1qa1qa got tied in with the left arrow and F12 key. I have a pile of ibooks, so I took a G3 Ibook apart to swap keyboards. I found the ribbon was shorter and different between the different generations…
14″ versus 11″ screens.
When I was about to put the G3 back together my hand slipped and I swept all the screws onto the filthy carpet and haven’t found them since.
I guess you could say I take computers apart well. With some more practice maybe I can clean up my karma enough to stop breaking them as I do it…
@Benjimon76 -
I still await this day, Sir.
@BenIsDead -
How’s that karma thing working out for you?
Wow, May 2007. Where was I in May 2007 that had a filthy carpet? Must have been my office.
Wait, my OFFICE? May… 2007. That could have only been… where was it? Was I homeless? I was homeless! There was no carpet in that shitty dorm room!
My office? I had rum in my office? I was drinking in my office.
Ok, I’m glad I can’t remember.
I am compiling a list of xangans who have blocked me. Sometimes I don’t even notice till I see their comments elsewhere.
Anyway, I put new hard drives in a G3 icebook and a 366 clamshell. The icebook works, the clamshell got the three screws I left out in 2005 back in, but now the firewire is dead. May be a cable out, but I don’t recall any seated cables involving firewire in a 366 clamshell, so maybe I fried it.
I have no laptop.
@benjimau5 -
I think you were drunk when you wrote this comment.
@ProfessorTom -
Which one, the one last night? Now I have to reread them both. We could probably safely assume I am drunk all the time, or when on xanga.
@ProfessorTom -
Oh, I thought you were asking about my luck with destroying mac hardware, the karma is good, despite my wishing death, pain and suffering on people who cross me and my insanely risky behaviors. I get scared sometimes, but it always works out. My G4 ibook: logic board failed, 500+ dollars to swap out, not going to happen. Clamshell, fw dead. I guess you could say my computer karma is shit. I know criminals and I take risks, will never have children and don’t worry too much about untimely death and dream of it often, like every night. It’s always depressing to have your actions result in something you must face alone with no happy ending sir.
@benjimau5 -
The one where you called the iBook an icebook.
@ProfessorTom -
The 800mhz G3 ibooks were known as the icebook, I think because of the silverish plastic strip running around the bottom case you silly!
@benjimau5 -
I did not know that.
@ProfessorTom -
It’s ok, in the greater scheme of things, you still know a lot more than I.
@benjimau5 -
This is why you should read my every post–to educate yourself.
@ProfessorTom -
Can I earn TomPoints which I can later exchange for young Asian girls?
@benjimau5 -
But of course! Of course, we’ll always raise the cost of Asain girls so that you never have enough Tom points, but you can always Hope for Change!
@ProfessorTom -
I’m going black.
@benjimau5 -
Black chicks are high maintenance.
