Dreams
I had a dream last night that I was searching all over a store, something like a super-hyper-market kind of store for REESE's. Not just the normal reese's, but some new ones that are peanut butter on the outside and chocolate in the inside. I couldn't find them anywhere, but I did find these cookies that were reesey-like but shaped like animal cookies? I don't know what was going on. But I definitely gotta find these reese's with the peanut butter on the outside! Yummmmm! For anyone who loves reese's peanut butter cups, the holiday kinds are the best. I'm not sure if they make one for halloween, I dont remember. But the christmas trees at Christmas and the eggs at Easter are amazing! The chocolate is smoother and the peanut butter is creamier for some reason.
Speaking of dreams, I've been thinking about a dream I had a while back..3 or 4 years ago. It was very vivid and very detailed at the time. I wish I remembered everything about it now. It was about time travel and an elevator. Every floor represented a year's time, and not just the years of my life. There were years going back as far as time began and also years (floors) ahead into the future. The dream took place in 2001 or 2002, so I was possibly 23 at the time. I remember going to a floor, 1991. I visited the 6th grade and everything was as it was then. People in the halls at school that I walked past, I don't remember them now and didn't then, but in the dream it was as if I had really travelled back in time. The thing that was most suprising in the dream was that the things I tried to change on certain floors never changed. I mean, they would in that instance, but when I would visit a floor later, something else would occur that put everything back to it's original outcome. If I tried to change the facts, say for example, if I tried to change the death of someone I lost, I could and I did. But later when I had left that time and place and would then visit another floor, something else would happen that hadn't happened before, but the person still died...in another time and place (on another floor)...but still the same outcome, death. Anyway, it was a very cool dream, a little freaky and kind of hard to shake off after waking up, but cool.
I dream almost every night. Some people don't dream or at least they say they can't remember their dreams. I have a few nights like that but for the most part I wake up with a clear memory of what happened in my sleep. I like dreams, as long as they are not nightmares!
Now for a new direction in this entry...MUSIC! Here's what I'm excited about, what's boring me and what keeps me singing in my car lately. I'm still really into Stellastarr*'s new album, Harmonies For the Haunted. I particularily like the songs, "Lost In Time," "Stay Entertained," and "Love and Longing." The new album lacks what I think set them apart from the other 80s NY pop rockers, like Interpol, The Killers, The Bravery (basically everything on the radio today) with their self titled debut in 2003. The back-up singer/bassist, Amanda is what still sets them apart from the rest on the new album for me. Her voice "sweetens" everything. Something I think the other bands of their genre don't have. Anyway, I'm still listening and still loving them.
I am also still listening and still loving iSOLA's new album Loud Alarms. My favorites are "Backdoor Salesman," "Porch Sleeper," "Hire a Plane" and "Pocket Translator." At the moment, I must add!! I tend to have new favorites a lot! Starsailor has a new album coming out VERY soon. It's titled On The Outside. I believe it was released in the UK on Monday..though I'm not certain when it's being released in the states. I don't want to pay $39.99 for an import, which is what I'm seeing on Amazon, so I will patiently wait for this one. I'm not really digging David Gray's new release. I will admit, I have not given it much time, but of course I will try again. It's not a good sign if you have to try to listen to something though. Anyway, we will see and I will report back.
It's time for lunch now. I'm going to grab something away from desk for a change. I'm thinking of going to Panda! I have not had it in a long time...yumm, orange chicken. Peace.

I don't remember my dreams EVERY night, but when I do, they're usually VERY strange...I'll tell you a few sometime that I can still remember.
I remember most of my dreams- especially when i'm pregnant or just had a baby (like all the time!) I just sleep so hard and have very vivid dreams. I always try and explain them to Cory afterwards- it's like I can see it so clearly and then I try and explain it to him and it's just not the same!
I have some catching up to do here! but i wanted you to know i stopped in :)
I'm laughing at the Reeses dream!! Remember the potato chip dream you had when you were little? it was going to get you or something?? hahahaha
Before you make fun of me.. what do you think of the band Jimmy Eat World? I know they've been around forever.. so don't start saying "Oh My God Ginger! You're so behind on music!" blah blah blahh... seriously though... I've never purchased any of their music before, but I haven't come across a song of theirs that I don't like. Just interested in hearing some more stuff...
ging - my potato chip dream was REAL and it was scary too.
JEW - You probably know more than I do at the moment. I haven't even picked up one of their albums since 'Bleed American' (which I totally love). If you think their last few albums were good, make me copies. K, thanks!
