Fantastic!
Nuggets-Lakers series is tied 1-1, with Game 3 tonight and Game 4 on Monday. Ironically, because of Game 4, a WWE event has been moved to Los Angeles. XD
Yesterday we FINALLY shot the sanatorium scenes for "White Death". As a patient, my role was to walk around slowly and cough occasionally. Our director brought in a medical consultant to teach us how to cough correctly; as TB is mostly a lung infection, the cough is much deeper than the kind you get from a cold. Apparently I was so good that the consultant joked that he wanted to take a skin sample from me! XD
My friend Karl, aka Johnny Fawkes or Sausabe, was driving me home from something. As we passed one neighborhood I told him that I was going to meet up with someone real quick, so I jumped out of the car as it was moving. After some walking I came across a small alley between two houses that had a street sign above it: "Meeba". This is the name of online friend #2. I walked around the lawns of all the houses surrounding the alley but saw no one through the windows or outside. Disappointed, I walked down the hill toward the edge of the neighborhood, where I would find a bus stop. Looking back up & around I saw someone. Glasses kinda like mine, black hair, unique wardrobe...it was indeed Meeba. At first, though, we spent a couple minutes in that state of awkwardness when meeting someone for the first time, like "Oh...hey, is that...are you...IAN!!!"
But we fortunately hit it off, so Meeba invited me inside to his house where his friends were gathering for a study group inside a cubicle with wooden walls. One girl asked me where I went to school. Upon telling her I went to UCD, she said "Oh, same campus as me! I go to Metro!" We all talked some more, then I let Meeba's study group continue studying. I walked down to the bus stop, interrupted by a spiky-haired kid who kept making buzzing noises in my ear. So I repeatedly punched him in the face. That part brought back some unpleasant schooltime memories...don't ask, please.
I had another dream in which Tom & I were trying to escape from a political rally where a bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses were nominating their presidential candidate. We eventually got to Village Inn for the furmeet but instead hung out in the parking lot, on the Better Bodies side. Timber joined us for a while, then I said I had to go home early and sleep, even though it was only sunset.
Job search stats:
-InMotion: Still no idea who to call
-McDonald's: Applied Tuesday, nothing new
-The Curtis: Applied Wednesday, also nothing new
-UA Colorado Center movie theatre: Big sign said NOW HIRING. The ticket booth clerk said to go to their website...but there were no listings for anything in Colorado. So either the website hasn't been updated yet, or the local people are liars.
-Elitch Gardens: Still waiting.
Anyone wanna hire me?
Got another bike today. Bicycle Village was having a "bike swap" that turned out to be a consignment sale, so while I didn't get rid of the Schwinn I did snag a mountain bike from a company called Sterling for $20. Dad's going to put the Schwinn on Craigslist since we don't have room for 2 bikes at my place. $75 OBO and it's yours.
I'll leave you with a quote from my dad:
"Clear your calendar for next May. And make sure you have a passport."
