The Ballot Box.

The commercial I had wanted to show you yesterday was found by Teacher Sis and sent to me with a note that said something about “going deeper” in my search. I’m sure she cracked herself up when coming up with that one. Anyway, commercial.

Pretty bizarre to be shown at Harry Potter, yeah? Speaking of ol’ HP, I had a really weird dream last night. I had a dream that a bunch of us were student wizards and witches and we were in charge of the election of a new mayor of our town. At some point we were in a somebody’s old house with the final ballot box and this guy I know named Ben steals it. We try to stop Ben who, before slipping on an invisibility cloak, is carrying a French bulldog and the stolen ballot box. While searching for Ben I found Dave sitting in one room making his drawings come to life with his wand. (Not a reference to masturbation.) Then somehow I locked all of the doors using Alohomora, which is the un-locking spell. Something about reverse magical psychology. (In reality, I cannot remember the locking spell’s name.) We finally get Ben trapped in one big room and spend the rest of the dream searching around by touch for him. At some point Pancake Land takes a break to eat an avocado. I seem to recall thinking that eating an avocado was a good idea, but didn’t eat one myself. I just thought it was a good idea. The end.

Considering that I very rarely remember my dreams, I felt it important to share this one with you. I hope you enjoyed it. Dreams are very strange creatures.

Yesterday was pretty hectic. I did a lot of running around in Lippincottonia trying to get things going. It was a lot like spinning plates. Trying to get orders put into the computer so that I could figure out what we need to make. Then compile the S.I.N. (Shit I Need) list. Then make some forms. Then help La Duchess get her hard drive to work. Then send in payroll. Then turn the forms and trim them. Then make more forms. All of this was done without the luxury of A/C because something went out on the blower unit whilst we were away. Woo! And it seemed like every time I put my headphones on to tune the world out in order to focus on work, someone decided that that moment was the one to start talking to me. Today, though, I’ve got my act together a little better. The main focus of my life today is making forms. Churning them out, in fact. We’ve got a pretty substantial order that may be materializing, and if it does, I need to have a shitload of fish plates made. So, we’s fishin’ today.

In other news, Pancake Land got the job that she interviewed for on Friday. Be sure to send her some words of support and whatnot. I’m so proud of her.

Oh, look at the time. Gotta run. More soon. ~SC

    The actor who plays Mayhem in the insurance commercials is the guy who plays Dennis Duffy on 30 Rock, right? I’ve been deep in a brain-boiling Tina Fey/Alec Baldwin marathon. Delicious.
