trinityvixenI'm considering investing in one of these. I know I had a weird dream this morning, no doubt the result of going to bed too early and having a rum and coke before that, but I can't remember it. What's worse is I think, again, it had something to do with the ad for the movie School of Life which I showed Lisa after making her, Carrie and Eugene watch it so I could figure out how a guy who is under 30 could die of lung cancer (the answer: never revealed, I was too embarrassed to be watching this movie in a group, so I swapped back and forth to Ever After; if they explained, I missed it, and I'm going to have to live with that because I won't watch that crap twice). So, once again, the bizarrely proportioned picture of Ryan Reynolds in my EW has made me sterile and invaded my dreams.
The dream I do remember involved ordering a Mac laptop, one of those nice silver shiny ones. In the dream, I was amazed that I'd done it--those things are easily, what? $2000-3000?--but really, really excited nonetheless. Yes, it meant switching from Windows, and my other laptop being jealous (I really believe that's how I phrased it in the dream), and many programs I have not working with the new computer, but it didn't matter--I was going to have the pretty silver laptop like my boss' only newer, and I had plans to buy a host of Apple devices to go along with because, damn it, if I'm going to be Steve Jobs' bitch and tool, I'm going to do it ALL THE WAY.
However, there was some confusion in my dream as what was delivered was in fact a silver Dell laptop (much like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darkling1's), and it befuddled me as to how I could get an iBook and a Dell mixed up while ordering online. I also remember the conflicting euphoria of 'hey! new computer!' and devastation of 'no! my iBook!' Oh well. It's better than the other dream, I'm sure, as I woke from that vaguely embarrassed for myself again (which is why I think it had to do with that stupid ad and/or movie---WHAT WOULD MR.D THINK OF ME!?!?!).
Still, gonna have to keep my writing journal at my bedside, just in case there's brilliance in them thar madness. I think a short story about someone comically ordering a silver Dell instead of an iBook would be fantastic. I wonder how I can work in Ryan as zombie doctor into that plotline. Maybe it's a sitcom, like the zombie was the one left in charge of ordering and got a Dell instead of the iBook his doctor really wanted. And in come Ryan in that god-awful red shirt (note to self: never watch own sitcom), and he'll be all angry, but there'll be a laugh track so you know it's supposed to be a funny mistake. Oh that zombie! What will he get into next?
