magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

dreamt of people who were making robots. they had rented out space in one of those fancy restaurant/banquet sorts of places where people have weddings.

and later, i was working in a supermarket. a costumer came to the checkout, but i didn't know how to work the cash register. someone else took over, and it was apparent that there were more people working than were needed.

jen.c and some friends were in the front of the store. i stopped briefly, but we didn't seem to be speaking the same language or something, so i continued on my way. i stopped again to check out some strange grapefruit juice on a store shelf, then brought some apples and bananas up to the register.

there were still too many people working, so i decided to check on the reference desk. the reference area was apparently being rebuilt. there were no books on the shelves and it was a big mess. the desk had been sawed down to about a foot and a half high. i looked in the drawers for something, but whatever it was, it wasn't there.

i continued down a hallway to the oversize section. the hall was a sculptured space, with artworks built in to the walls, but it was being renovated too, and most of the art had been removed. at the end of the hall was a little lobby, and there was a woman there who was doing a performance piece. she told me that she would be performing the full piece later in the gallery that was off to the right (the rest of the library was straight ahead), but that there was currently a show o prints in the gallery that i should check out.

the gallery was the same place as part of a theatre from some old dream. the prints were huge, ten by ten feet or larger, of mythical scenes, b movie monsters, and giant robots. some of them were coming to life.
