glowing effigies
Saturday I was running around playing ultimate in 60 degree weather. Today a veritable blizzard set in. Didn't get enough sleep last night, but woke up at the perfect point in my sleep cycle and so had tons of energy, and was my old happy-go-lucky self again.
Had a recurring dream, only the second one I can ever remember having. Political correctness was out of control in my Organizational Behavior class--the one that several semesters back persuaded me to drop my business minor like a bad habit. Well the recurring part was at the end, when a small effigy of a person was placed into a dark container until it began to glow red, and then exploded. There were whoops of glee when this occurred; it was somehow the grand finale of a lot of cackling kill-whitey-ism. Don't know where this stuff was coming from...the actual class was loathesome to me for much different reasons, namely that it was devoid of any content, useful or otherwise. But that's what I dreamt anyway.
The previous night I had a dream I was in an elevator in a tall building, going down. At the back of the elevator was a wooden odometer that gave a readout of the floor, and it had like five digits and was spinning so fast I couldn't read the numbers. This one I can pin down clearly: the elevators in Kauffman are of the hydraulic persuasion, and are so slow you can walk up and down the stairs twice practically before it reaches ground floor, something which I've been annoyed with recently.
