My Brother, the Rock Star
My brother's actually a good singer. He's active in several school choirs and does several choir camps each year and such. It's just that these days, he sings bass. He's done some barbershop stuff and I happen to like bass singers in that stuff so I don't have a problem with that. It's just when he sings along with pop music CDs...well...it makes my ears bleed.
Last night, I dreamt that he was suddenly a star in Austin's local music scene. (Austin's quite the music hub so that would be something.) I thought maybe he was part of a group or something but no, it was a solo act. I just didn't see how that could be possible but all of his performances were sold out no matter when I tried to get tickets.
Meanwhile, he was made into some strange video game that had a basket ball player in it and...bubbles. I don't remember much about it except that it was part of some big event in a park. It was set up on some giant machine (not a standard arcade machine, that's all I can say) and he wouldn't let me play it because I was his sister and if I lost, it would be bad publicity for him. (The event was televised or something.) Well, I suggested that he send over an android that looked like me that could win the game because that could be good publicity. He didn't like that idea. He decided to cut out the middle man and win the game himself. He lost. I told him he should have used an android and we laughed in a corny way. :P
But, that wasn't the end. I heard it through the grapevine that his act was called "Just Shut Up" and that he didn't actually sing. The whole act was that someone else would come up and sing or tell jokes or something else and right in the middle, he'd go up and yell "Just shut up!" The other performer would keep going and he'd yell "Just shut up!" again. This would go on and on and on until the other performer got upset and started a fight with my brother, much to the amusement of the audience watching. Um, OK. So...my brother was a local Jerry Springer and not the rock star he'd said he was.
He got full of himself, too. He'd start greeting people with "Just shut up!" before they even said anything and it pissed people off but that's all I remember about that dream. :P
I had some other unrelated dream where a veterinarian that who care of my cat died. We didn't know him very well but we were asked to talk at his funeral because it was part of some new reality show about funerals! EXTREME FUNERAL or something. The thing is, it was like a giant party! I don't really remember what my family said but it was like a comedy routine but nobody was bothered. And balloons fell down on us from above! And I saw us on TV but nobody really seemed to like that show. Frankly, I'm surprised there isn't a show like that the way reality shows are these days. ;p
And I dreamt that Dave and I were watching The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy but it was like some crazy pilot episode (but not the one that was on TV before; go figure) and Billy had a squeaky voice. Billy and Irwin were brothers even though Irwin was still black and I don't think I saw Mandy or Grim anywhere!
And...uh...there was something where I was cooking and I was floating between places in a pot like Baba Yagga...in the versions of the story where she floats around in a cauldron, that is. Personally, I prefer the house with chicken legs, but that's just me...
