Tip-O-Top

Two or more people go to sleep. Objects (maybe bottles, but they don't have to be bottles) are stood up in an outline around the sleeping persons. Eight hours later, the sleepers are gently awaken. The girl or boy (or...) with the most objects (bottles?) standing wins.

Dream Gazette #21

Morning Of Wednesday, August 12, 2009:

R. Zach Zierden and I run adventurously around parts of Minneapolis we have never explored before. We happen upon a softball game in play with a seedy man watching and muttering xenophobic remarks. Even though the comments are directed toward the foreigners playing, Zach and I harmonize "Ho-mo-phoooobe!" as we walk past this man. With our eyes on the path ahead, we hear footsteps and heavy breathing following us. We turn around to see the man holding a white trash bag, looking to do us in. We stare him down for a few seconds and he retreats. We walk a few steps before we hear more footsteps and breathing. We annoyedly turn around to see the man with an axe. Zach and I point to several police officers within seeing distance. The man runs away. Zach and I walk hassle-free to a house celebrating a family reunion. Zach wants to be in the picture taking place, and the family lets him do so. Once the camera flashes, Zach morphs into a ten-year-old boy with red hair. I eat food and do not talk to anyone.

Morning Of Sunday, August 9, 2009:

Pixar picks an abandoned high school to promote the latest movie. The top stair of a stairwell reads "Poseidon". Every step names a different aqua-themed film, from "A River Runs Through It" to "Lady In The Water". The bottom step reads "H 2 The O", the next entry in the Pixar canon. When I step on the last stair, a tidal wave unleashes from behind, flooding the entire school. I run down a hallway toward a cocktail party to warn everybody, but the water reaches the room first. People blame me for the terrible promotion and rate "H 2 The O" as "the worst Pixar movie since 'A Bug's Life'.". I scream, "But you haven't seen it yet!" The crowd does not seem to care. I walk home, making it halfway before realizing the tidal wave is following me. I run like mad, but the water wins.

Morning Of Monday, May 18, 2009:

I play a game the participants name Sticks And A Gun. Everybody holds one stick; half of the players have a toy gun, half have a real one. Somehow I do not start with any gun. I run to a fort and am shot immediately by a real bullet.

Morning Of Tuesday, April 14, 2009:

The toilet I am using is a robot. Toilbot, as it refers to itself, wants to become friends with humans because it is tired of other robots. I ask Toilbot how it socializes while being bolted to a wall. Toilbot sighs and tells me to have a nice day.

Morning Of Saturday, March 7, 2009:

After a Muppet Christmas adventure, Mother tells us to put the tree away and go to bed. When we say we are too excited to sleep, she yells at us for drinking lots of caffeinated root beer instead of eating yogurt like she asked.

Morning Of Saturday, February 21, 2009:

On my way to Chicago for an Independence Day fireworks display, I accidentally run over two kids with my golf cart. I talk to the mother and she agrees to not press charges if I organize the afternoon's birthday party for her son. I decline, saying that doing so is worse than going to jail.
