Ms. Pac Man
Today is worth two entries.
Alcohol-induced dreams are the best sometimes.
I made myself a whiskey sour last night, to help me write my paper and to try and fight off a cold. Before bed, I irrigated my sinuses, but that is beside the point.
Anyway, I dreamt that I was at some little arcade/theme park with four rides. One of the rides was Rockem Sockem Robots- The Ride. Don't ask. I was waiting to ride, because it was a two-person ride and my friends went ahead of me. I put a quarter into a Ms. Pac Man game and the game sucked me in! I became Ms. Pac Man. It was kinda' cool. I was eating dots and fruit and ghosts were chasing me. I died once. On my next try, a minnow guided me through the game. I rocked!
You know how you have a group of settings in your dreams? Like, a particular school looks the same, if you're in a city, the city is always the same, if you're in the country, etc. I went on to dream that I was in high school running from a sexual predator. That part of my dream probably stemmed from reading "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?".
When I woke up this morning, I was exhausted.

I hear ya! My favorite Christmas present is a joystick that plugs into the TV. It has two of my favorite games, Ms. Pac Man and Galaga. I would totally buy one of those big games, if I had the money and a place to put it. When you are rich and famous, you can build your own 80's arcade.
I think Ms. Pac Man would be the only thing I would miss at the laundry mat, too! Maybe you could wash one towel, for old time's sake. Hey, save all those quarters that you would have spent on laundry and you'll have enough money eventually. I've seen them priced from around $800.00. That's a lot of quarters.
Having your own washer and dryer is a very cool thing. It is one of those little things we take for granted.
