The whole serial murder thing
I haven't been sleeping well lately. It's because it's already too damn hot, and it's only the middle of May. August is going to be hell.
So when I woke up sometime between four and five, I grabbed a pen and a piece of scrap paper from beside my bed and scribbled notes.
There were severe foundation problems at my parents' house in Newton. I went to take a relaxing bath, but the bathtub was breaking apart. The end with the drain had broken, and I could see earthworms crawling around, just begging me to turn on the water. I went upstairs and Craig Kilborn (I misspelled his last name in my notes--ooh, what could that symbolize? Go, Freud, go.) was leaning back in a recliner, some girl drink (perhaps a mai-tai?) in hand (umbrella and all). "Please, call me Kilby after 5. Of course, I'm not here all that often after 5." I said, "We'll make you a banner" announcing the rules for when the use of "Kilby" was appropriate.
I have no damn idea what "R's cabin to 7" means, although Lael says it sounds like a chess move. It does, but I wasn't dreaming about chess. I guarantee that. I do vaguely remember the crowd of Native American kids (see how I'm unconsciously, or subconsciously, politically correct?) and I know I uttered "I have to get a hamburger for Lori." But I have no idea how those connect.
Again, I have a vague recollection of the "rap wedding" and Juvenile kissing someone (not me). Perhaps Lil' Kim got married. Who knows?
I REALLY wish I knew what "the whole serial murder thing" was, but I know that when I woke up momentarily that I thought there would be no possible way I could forget it. I did. Perhaps someone was plotting to kill Rosie O'Donnell. "I guess we need to close the door," was said by me after I/we found the body.
I didn't scan the two phrases I wrote on the back, but there was something about a "poor repair job." This may be connected to the foundation problems mentioned above. The phrase "all the silver is broken" kept repeating in my head too.
I don't know if taking notes is such a good thing, because I've spent all day obsessing about what "the whole serial murder thing--Rosie O'Donnell" was.
