9 45 am pdt   [ dream ]

I had a long Dream in which I was attending a strange school. It was much to mechanical, with thousands of chairs layed out in a grid in some open space by the ocean. There were no partitions between the rooms. It must have been my first day, because I kept getting lost, being late, and having to figure out how everything worked.

The second part of my dream involved driving the Matthew's sister's house. She lived tucked away on a mountain near the school, and it took much maneuvering to get there. At one point I though her mother had driven us off a bridge but it turned out to be a shortcut. When we finally arrived, the burnt orange building was crowded with students and none of the rooms were regualrly shaped. This might be inspired by me watching the opening of the tombs of the golden mummies on tv last night.

The last part of my dream involved me standing talking to Matthew's mom in some other part of the campus. I don't know what we were talking about, but someone walked by and complimented me on my outfit and I looked down and noticed I was wearing an oversized pants suit made out of the same material and pattern as my crimson dress with the yellow flowers. Then someone called my name from my right and I looked up to see several people independently waving to me. I only recognized Josh, who was sitting in the front. I woke up before I could approach him.

Do not haunt my dreams, Josh. Find me. Let me know you're ok.

Matthew and I went to see the new Mission Impossible at noon, enjoying having no daytime obligations. The effects were stunningly good and the plot was laughably bad. Whoever wrote the film somehow decided that Ethan Hunt was actually James Bond, so there is much more emphasis on romance and fist fights, where I would have much prefered more of the covert spy stuff. Y'all know I secretly want to work for the FBI.

But when I say the effects were stunning, I mean that they were so transparent that I couldn't even tell where they were (and I know how to look for them). The mask effect is also gorgous and they show it enough times that you can be totally blown away by it. Even if you look for the seams really hard, you won't find them.

I called the guy at my most promising jobbie job offer, and he said an official offer was in the mail, so I can just trot home on Sunday and sign it if I want. I am so glad that worked out, because I am getting more and more excited about it. I would start work on July 12th if I take it. I'm also supposed to go in for an interview in Burbank next week. The guy is very nice, and the pay is better, but the position is less of what I want.
