(no subject)
yesterday i dreamed that my dad (who, in real life, died in 1998) was living in the richmond area in a mobile home. there was a hurricane and a flood and i became very concerned about his access to potable drinking water. so i went on a road trip to get his water tested. the road on the way there was full of enormous, very ornate arched gateways, very much like the arc de triomphe but even more ornate, and emanating a faint golden glow. the drive was very video game like, though, because the arcs de triomphe all had the capability of squeezing shut at immense speeds, somewhat like 'the chompers' (or was it 'the mashers'?) in the movie galaxy quest. [one moment... to the interweb for clarification... it was the chompers. http://www.alicia-logic.com/capsimages/gq_037Chompers2.jpg ] so one had to hurry and get through the arcs de triomphe while they were open, slam on the brakes when they were closed, etc. then, when i got to richmond, my dad was grumpy.
