For those keeping track at home, this would be 3*

I woke up with such a fright, I couldn't get back to sleep for hours.

In my dream, my dad and I drive a school bus to a hospital to pick up twin boys who are friends of the family. Dad kept the bus running and I went inside to retrieve them. My sister met me inside but we couldn't find the boys anywhere. We looked down the atrium to the main floor and we could see Data from Star Trek fighting off zombies with a phaser. We jumped down three flights to help with only a barbed wire fence to break our fall. I'm not sure what Mary was using but I was fighting off the zombies with my mom's letter opener.

This morning after church I told the twins and their brother about my dream. They were super jealous that I have such awesome dreams.


*This is my third zombie related dream. Others include Zombie Grandma and Zombie Apocalypse. Technically my dream about the Count from Sesame Street attacking was a continuation of a dream about the Zombie Apocalypse but since there were no zombies in the dream I don't count that one.

Ugh, more nightmares

Two nights ago, after I wrote my last blog post about nightmares, I was too tired to remember my dreams. So what made me wake up in a cold sweat early this morning? Zombie apocalypse*. I will spare the very gruesome** details but you didn't know who was a zombie until they attacked. The only other non-zombie was a female chef I didn't like*** and we had to learn to work together.







*Interesting Janny stat: this is the 6th zombie related post. Might explain a few things.
** I accidentally typed gruelsome the first time.
*** Not a real person but the chef part was integral to her skill set in my dream.

Some Thoughts After a Second Viewing of Zombieland

- Woody Harrelson has magnificent biceps.
- don't take a germaphobe who hates loud noises
- I am the only person who seems to get the Deliverance reference.

The Way I Feel Inside

I need your help. A couple months ago I discovered this song on my computer. I never heard it before and I have no idea where it came from. Does anyone out there have a clue? It is "The Way I Feel Inside" by the Zombies. I think there may be more than one version of this song.

We didn't start the fire....

When I first heard the fire alarm sound I thought "What idiot planned a fire drill with a -45C wind chill?" I grabbed my bag and left the Physics students' lounge and the hall was filled with smoke. I was with Blond Derek* and we met Jemaine** in the hallway on our way out the door. Jemaine was in the middle of an experiment that he just had to leave it going and start over later.

We were shooed out of the lab building towards the library. The next building over, the classroom building was evacuated as well. There were grumblings from students about the physics dept starting fires with there experiments which is complete baloney. The only experiments running at the time were first years seeing how fast ice melts in cold water and a pendulum. The only thing "dangerous" in our wing is a neutron howitzer which radiates materials and cannot cause fires.

We didn't know what happened to everyone else from the Physics dept. We wandered back and forth between the entrances from both sides of the building waiting for it to open again. We ran into was The Commie*** eventually. There were many strange conversations about possible sources of the fire****:
- the pendulum was moving so fast it punched a whole in the space-time continuum
- the pendulum bob was made of a highly reactive metal
- the biology dept is breeding dragons (which lead to Blond Derek's decision to raise an army of zombie dragons for a biology project)
- spontaneous combustion of multiple professors

We found our way back to the library where we met the head lab instructor returning from lunch. When he found out how long since we were evacuated he looked at the doors said "They'll let us in soon" then they opened! It was eerie.


Names are used to protect the innocent:
*He looks and acts almost exactly like Derek. We have a physics class and lab together. Once I get to know him better I'll ask if eats toast ironically. I missed tiny pointing Derek.

** By his own admission he looks like Jemaine Clement with a beer belly.

*** Been called so since deciding to take a class on Marxism.
**** I am well aware of our nerdiness.

Where's Shaun when you need him?

Mom, you may not want to read this one. Trust me, you'll only raise your eyebrows and worry about your oldest daughter.

Last week, I had a dream that my sister and I had to share a room with the body of my recently deceased grandma the night before the funeral. My sister and I were on bunk beds (Me on the top and Mary on the bottom, just like old times) and grandma was laying on a single bed across the room. In the middle of the night grandma got out of bed. Mary was so freaked out she jumped onto the top bunk. We stayed as still as possible so "zombie grandma" would not see us. (I woke up after she left the room. I cannot verify if she was actually a zombie).

Like I was not freaked out enough that I had to attend my grandma's viewing.
