Have you ever had one of those dreams that you wake up and think is real?
I don't, often, but last night I did. I dreamed that there was someone who had offered me a job teaching and I needed to meet him at some conference thing yesterday, except I forgot, and instead I went to Mike's parents for lunch and then I went to work and then to the movies, and I never went to the conference thing to talk to the guy. (I didn't dream those parts, I actually did them.) So then I was (in the dream) frantically trying to figure out what to do and remember his name and try to find his office, and I went and talked to someone else by accident who was completely unhelpful, and I never found him. I woke up freaking out. And then I went, wait. Did I ever go to a conference or a job fair or anything like that recently where I could have met this guy? No. So logic suggests that this guy does not exist outside of my dream, and therefore I did not miss a job opportunity, and therefore I should stop freaking out. So I did, and now I feel much better.
In other news, I went to see Alice in Wonderland yesterday. I'm not sure why, but I was kind of disappointed with it. It was neat visually, of course. Made me wish for more of the same. I do love good imagery. But I guess I was hoping for something more original in the way of plot. To be fair, it did kind of make me want to slay a dragon. But even so, the general plot was...very done. And I found the ending very unsatisfying. Really, if they hadn't had to tie up plot lines from the beginning of the movie, I would have wished Alice could just stay in Wonderland. Heck, she could have returned after tying up plot lines. *shrug. Really, I have no right to expect anything very original from mainstream movies, but it still would have been nice.
Anyway. Off to get things done, before I have to go off and tutor. Sigh. It's been a very busy weekend, and all I really want to do is chill out and mess around, but I can't. Oh well. I'll have most of the week for that. Time to go.
