24, please.

Hey folks. It’s Friday, thank goodness, and the day of Harry Potter 7.2. And the last day of my first week at my new job. So far, so good. It’s weird awesome working somewhere on the 24th floor of a building, in a cubicle, with people my age. And Rebecca. Also awesome.

This weekend is a busy one: HP7.2, B’s back staying with us for the weekend, Cricket’s move, Court’s party, San Diego on Sunday, and Carmageddon. For those of you not from LA, let me explain.

Do you see that part of the highway that’s red? That whole highway is going to be shut down for two days. Which may or may not wreak havoc upon the entirety of Los Angeles. People seem to be nervous that the entire world will be off kilter for the weekend, and meanwhile I’m just hoping that I can get to San Diego. Other people are stocking up food in their houses and not going anywhere – Rebecca’s trying to travel every where by bike! Luckily, I live pretty far from that highway, so I am hoping this will help me stay away from any major traffic jams.

Anyone in LA have opinions about the traffic? Anyone from not LA heard about this in the news?

Dream Post 13: Lifting a car

I had a dream:

I was in Jeff’s car, driving, and he was there, too. We were getting off a highway and onto an on-ramp, when I noticed the accelarator wasn’t working and we could only go 40 mph. There was a lot of traffic on the off-ramp, and I was worried I’d add to it by going slowly (I don’t know why this made logical sense) and so I got out of the car, with Jeff, and lifted the car to carry down the ramp. Then the ramp turned into a very steep staircase, but the kind that have no backs to the stairs, basically a cross between a staircase and a ladder. I was walking down it, carrying the car, and there were tons of people around, standing on each step/rung waiting their turn, like they were in traffic. I excused myself and cut them, because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to stop, and then I knocked a kid down a few steps by accident. So I lifted him up and threw him up to where he was before, and then kept going, all the while holding my car.

Then I woke up.
