Chloe the Wonder Cat takes Brooklyn! 2004-07-17 - 11:46 a.m.
I had a dream last night where I brought Chloe the Wonder Cat to visit Nice Drummer, who lived in a Marriott in Brooklyn. He had to go to a gig, so I went with his friends to hang out on an expressway off-ramp and watch the cars go by, because that was the thing to do. I had Chloe on my lap, until she got up and ran up the off-ramp and scampered along the bridge. I was of course really worried, but Nice Drummer's friends said she'd be fine.
So we went back to the Marriott and I started putting stuff onto the really sketchy old-fashioned elevator. When I had put two bags and one of the two flutes I had with me on there, I remembered that I'd left Chloe on the expressway. I started freaking out and ran out to find a cab and got it. I told the cabbie to wait as I ran out, picked up Chloe who was lying right in the middle of the road, and continued freaking out. Back at the hotel, I just sad down on the couch in the lobby, with the cat in my lap, and started crying, even though she was fine.

Strange. I've never even been to Brooklyn. Oh well.
There's not a whole lot going on in mangoland, as usual. I bought five scratch-off tickets yesterday. I only won $1. Dammit. Do banks give loans to unemployed graduate students? Gih. Someone should pay me for reading books.
Laundry time, I think. Have a good day everyone. :)
