I dreamt I was in Australia visiting and Trayce and VG (who hasn't lived there for years?!) were supposed to show me around but I started getting mad because both of them just wanted to stay at the McDonald's we were in.

I had a dream about an ilxor/pitchfork writer. I can't remember who exactly it was, but if you're on here and write for pitchfork, presume it was you.
After I had finished fighting a lion underwater, a royal messenger came to me from King Trump, who had decided to award the ilxor a prize for their most recent book they had published. The prize was a whole bunch of cash money, including a 1 million dollar bill as well as some smaller denominations. I went to find the ilxor to deliver it to them, but in the meantime, they had gotten into a road rage confrontation with this asshole driver who hadn't acknowledged their right-of-way at a pedestrian crossing. And in between the time I had started looking for them and when I found them, they had written a huge screed about the incident and published it on pitchfork.com. They made me read the whole thing before I could deliver the message from King Trump and the prize money. The article had a detailed personal narrative, eyewitness accounts, and cell-phone footage. Reading through it, it became obvious that the asshole driver was Donald Trump, Jr. and we had a real problem on our hands.

Ally (is she still here here?) posted on Facebook something like "We're expecting our third! We've also finally decided to leave NY and are considering Cherry Halla Halla and Philly!" (by which she meant Cherry Hill, NJ). I got really stoked and started typing a response about the pros and cons and housing prices of different Philly neighborhoods but I didn't finish bcz I was interrupted by this woman who was apparently an Uber Eats deliverer and had a giant pizza for me that I never ordered, also suddenly my dad and stepmom were there and they were the ones who ordered the pizza, then I guess my computer disappeared and we all went on some sort of hike.
I'm friends w/ Ally on FB but am too embarrassed to post this to her wall so I'm just putting it here instead.

While attending a parent teacher meeting in an unspecified capacity Bruce willis in his character from the jackal turns up and starts taking out parents one by one.
Joanie loves chachi turns up to investigate and our leads take us on a road trip to killybegs in a Nissan Micra.
En route we stop at a convenience store in dunkineely. I bodytackle two youths attempting to shoplift bread and he chides me all Jesus like and buys them both beer and plays an impromptu game of jenga. Upon our return to the Micra I stiffly inform him that I don't care for his methods and our crimesolving partnership is now over. Fin.

My mom and I were in England. We went on a day trip to the town of Bip, which was a historical town build around some old Roman ruins.
In the centre of Bip was all these enormous public art installations. Kind of an intersection between trash art and reclaimed slabs of Roman-era stone
We walked through the town quickly. I read a brochure describing how the town of Bip got its name, but I can’t reemmeber what it said. Up above the ruined amphitheatre was a cultural centre style building adorned with Mason and Rotary symbols. The banner above the door said The Sons Of Bip

Neil Degrasse Tyson and I were among a group of grad students on spring break in Myrtle Beach, SC. I don't join my classmates heading out at night to party because I have to proctor an exam the next morning. When I ask Neil why he is staying behind too, he morphs into Kurt Schwitters and says "when your dad owns a top furniture company, you need to be on guard against false accusations."

had a very long, very vivid dream about meeting a bunch of ilxors irl in a lovely pub in a small lake district village where the surrounding landscape was covered in snow
i went out for a smoke with tracer hand (i do not smoke nor do i actually know what tracer looks like) but the convivial atmosphere was punctured when we noticed a man dressed as spider-man 2099 skiing along a powerline high overhead
as i astutely pointed out 'hey that guy's dressed as spider-man 2099!' the mysterious skiier slipped, lost his balance and tumbled 100 feet or so to land in a crumpled, broken heap in the snowbound field across the road in front of us

Trying to get as much of this down as I can before it evaporates.
A group of ilxors were on our way to Carl Sandburg Mall in Galesburg, IL. On the way there, I warned everybody to be careful in traffic because "for us it's this dinky little mall, but for farm people Galesburg is the Big City and they'll come from hours away just to drunkenly cruise the strip." We enter through Kmart. As we're walking through the hair care aisle, Karl Malone checks to see if they have sulfate-free shampoo (they do!). ENBB and I split off and walk around talking about how when you're a kid you use the architecture of the mall to jump on and imaginative play. "this planter is a rocket ship!" "these stairs are a lava river!" etc. We stop in front of a closed Lego store. Lego had gone out of business. There was a mechanical pulse in the floor that would create these microearthquakes about every 30 seconds and every time it shook, all of the elaborate lego sculptures would break apart just a little bit and the pieces would pile up on the floor. In the front window of the Lego store were a pile of used cassette tapes. ENBB picked one out and put it on it was 50 Foot Wave. I was so excited to hear Kristin Hersh in my dream! Kerr showed up and he started talking about a number of different bands. Then Katherine showed up and was telling ENBB "You should really get a huge collection of shitty cassettes..." My eyes lighted on an old yellow Memorex cassette and I was so excited. I kept wanting to tell the gathered ilxors "look! It's my sister's copy of Grease!" But no words would come out. Then I woke up.

I worked at a hotel. The actor Jena Malone, of whom I am not very aware, died. El Tomboto, my boss, turned out to also be Jena Malone’s dad, the actor Thomas Jayne. Grief-stricken, he called a staff meeting to help him process his feelings. i composed a note of condolence on a Game Boy.

i have been taking a kind of medicine that apparently has a "weird dreams" side effect. my dreams have always been weird, which i consider one of the very best things in my life. now they're weird in a different way. i always used to have dreams with anonymous people. there would be people that i would interact with, but more often than not i wouldn't know who they were. now, on this medication, i almost always know who they are, so it's like an endless series of guest appearances by friends, family, and celebrities.
obama was in my dream last night. he tried to convince me (and he did convince me) that i should try to go to law school. we started talking about places he recommended, him writing a recommendation letter, etc, but he got distracted by a wall of screens showing a sport that doesn't exist but was popular in this dream world. i started watching sports too and got engrossed in the game, and by the time i snapped out of it, obama was gone and i was dejected because i knew i'd never get his letter of recommendation and had missed a key opportunity.

A polar bear had gotten into my house and curled up on the floor in my bedroom. Carly Rae Jepson had recorded an album of duets with BradNelson and it was playing in a speaker somewhere that I couldn't find. I was running around in a panicked state pulling every plug in the house trying to shut the music off because it was so loud and I really needed to call the Department of Natural Resources about the bear.

just remembered a dream I had the other day where in addition to the Admin Log we know and love there was also a log of changes to user's moderator permissions, resembling the ordinary ilx board interface, but instead of a thread it was like "so and so got promoted to moderator". And thus also a list of current moderators.

I dreamed last night that I was asked to speak on a panel at PopCon. The panel had nothing to do with pop music, the topic was "The Human Race: does it deserve to survive?" We were going down the table, everyone was introducing themselves, giving a snip of their CV. A woman two seats to my right said "I am a birth survivor" and the crowd tittered and the woman raised her voice "yes, my birth was traumatic, and so has been the life that followed, and I am a survivor!!!"

I had another dream in which I made a post to ILX, except this time it was in the middle of a bizarre series of dreams. I've been feeling extremely ill since the beginning of the month and was operating on ridiculously little sleep until three nights ago, at which point I began catching up on all the sleep my illness was preventing me from getting. As a result, I've been experiencing a massive amount of dreams per night lately, all jumbled together in a bizarre dream collage. In the middle of one of those dream collages, I remember stopping the dream-action to sit in front of a computer and post something to ILX. It wasn't an existing thread or anything, just something that coincidentally happened to touch on a topic I was dreaming about at that moment; because of that, I felt I had to contribute in the dream version of ILX. Living the dream right now, let me tell you.
