magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

had a very sci-fi dream this morning. i was part of a group of giants or titans from some forgoten mythology. maybe one and a half times human size. we were tring to sneak into a building but needed disguises. conveniently there was a costume shop nearby but i didn't expect it to have anything that would fit us. however, there was a large selection of giant-size masks.

we got into a futuristic elevator, wearing our masks, and started ascending into the building that we were trying to infiltrate. a short way into the building the elevator stopped and another giant, the brother of one of our group and very well armoured, got on. the two were intent on fighting. in part because this was one of those mythological battles between brothers, and in part because we didn't want to get caught in the crossfire, we ran into the hall behind.

but now our presense in the building was known so we kept running. through rooms of cubicles, and finally into a quiet, secluded area. the people we saw were wearing uniforms that were either something like what we were already wearing or else we found some clothes in a closet.

now that we could fit in we began looking around at a more relaxed pace. there was a large cafeteria serving sushi. upstairs from that, now as myself, i ran into molly who was looking for a way out of what might now have been an incredibly extensive space station.

made an initial pass at picking the fifty cds that i'm going to bring to rome. then kinko's to make a card for the mix tape for stef. and the beb, where i officially quit my architecture office job.

in the afternoon stef called from new york. and briefly i was upset again, i wished the she had asked me to come with her.

but when she got back i went over to her place and saw her new necklace, a "B" in fake diamonds. and that's so sweet that i just melted. and i gave her the tape and we talked for quite a while.
