A Favor to Ask

I'm getting cable, yay! Sadly, it can't be installed until the 23rd, so I won't have it in time for the first episode of the new season of Lost. Is there anyone who'd be willing to tape it for me if I sent out a blank tape?

(no subject)

Okay, so I ordered my Lost dvds last Thursday. According to Amazon.com, they should ship within 24 hours. It is now late afternoon on Tuesday and my dvds have still not shipped. WTF? I mean come on already. I'm not made of patience, here. I want my dvds, already!

/whiny impatience

Whew, glad that's out of my system. Maybe I can go back to being an adult now. *shakes head at self*

It's another quiet evening here at the Coffee Shop. I'm bored, but that's far better than being rushed and hectically over-worked, so I don't really mind. More time to play around on the computer. :)

The Scarrans have invaded my sleep

If they have penetrated so far into my subconscious after just one intensive weekend, I wonder how eve11 fared for the six months or so that she was working on that costume.

So the dream was, we were at the convention and it was time to go home. We were walking through a room that had been set up as a bake sale and someone at one of the tables called us over. They were putting closing up for the day and offered to give us some of the leftover cookies. Everything was very nice and cozy, at least on the surface, but at the same time, we were feeling very stressed because we knew that we weren't allowed to leave and if we tried to do so, *they* would try to stop us. We made our way out of the room and started going down a concrete stairwell to get to our level of the parking garage. One level up from where we were going to exit, we found several Scarrans at the door, watching for us. We debated whether we should continue or not, but then did the action movie jump-over-the-railing-drop-down-a-level thing in order to not have to walk right past the Scarrans. They still saw us though, and took up hot pursuit (literally). As we were running across the parking lot, we could see Eve's car ahead and ran for it, but when we got there we found that someone had broken into and vandalized it while we were inside at the convention. The locks were broken, the radio was missing and there was something wrong with the seatbelts. We got in the car anyway, but we were pretty sure we were done for, and that's when I woke up. In the dream, the seatbelt had been lying very oddly on my shoulder, and when I woke up I realized it was Thor the Massive, leaning his bulk against me while he slept. My heart was racing and I had that unpleasant tingle of nightmare running all through my veins so it took a while to settle down and go back to sleep.

I'm hoping this was an isolated incident and that the Scarrans don't add themselves to my roster of permanent nighttime companions, including tornadoes, T-rexes, and falling elevators. (I have luckily not had any of these dreams in quite a while - knock on wood.) The dream would at least have been more interesting/fun if I'd been dressed as a hobbit, lol.
