Fell asleep on my couich at about 7:00 Thursday night. Had a few dreams.

In the first dream, I was in my room, and I had read this one book by ACC. It was really neat. In the book, they had discovered some sort of life on Mercury or some moon (I remember not remembering where it happened - some small grey planet). I had the big fancy TV all to myself in my room, and I guess I had the cable thing, too. I felt kind of bad about having all this, but I guess they just didn't need it upstairs. I had 2 popcorn poppers. One of them was full of old, burnt popcorn covered with oil and salt. The other wasn't.

I woke up and thrashed a bit and eventually fell asleep again.

I was working on my Wolfnstein levels thing. The first level was outside. There was a crosswalk-like thing going across a road, where the road you were on crossed it. You started on this road (the first road, the one you can walk on), facing toward the intersection, where there were two guys with kinda funny wide, silver, cone-shaped hats. They just stood there, and acted as if they didn't even notice you. Until yopu got to the intersection. Then they'd whip out these machine guns and start shooting you. And they were really fast, powerful machine guns, not like the ones the SS guards have. If you could kill one guy and get his gun, you might be able to kill the other one, but then if you were back near where you started, tanks would come from down the second road and shoot at you with those same guns, and then you were dead. I finally figgered that the best way to get through was to just run past them, and then up, over the hill, then turn a couple corners and run into an elevator as fast as you could.

On the second floor of this maze (below the first one), there was a room with a tower in it. You could get into that room by getting into the tower from below, and then climbing up and up and up until you reached the top, where there was a trap door. But there was a little bat up in the top of the tower, and we always bothered him when we went through there, so Mom found a bat box for him, and he seemed pretty happy in there. Back in the living room, one of the bats was weird. If he got near a piece of metal, he'd get stuck to it and flatten out and freeze. After I cried about it a little, Dad tried putting him in hot water, and that seemed to revive him. There were actually a bunch of bats like this. It was like they created a magnetic field, and any piece of metal they came near became magnetized. But if they got near a piece of metal, they'd start to expand, and their eyes would try to pop out of their heads. They didn't like that, and they were usually able to turn around and go the other way before things got too bad. I was sitting at my computer with the box of bats (there were also some mice in there - they got along fine), and was working on my wolfenstein levels, and aso some other 3D DOS game, which was supposed to be like that Pie 3D GCS thing, but you could do fancier stuff with it, which I was about to do, when the bats started being funny. I picked up the box, and I was becoming magnetic, too. Then I had a flash of the X-Files. Mulder and Scully were walking down the sidewalk, and Mulder had sparks flying out of his head, and they could each tell what the other was thinking. It was very dramatic. Then I was back in my room, trying to get out, and all the metal stuff was sticking to my feet, and affecting the bats. I tried to kick it off, and eventually I did. On the news, I saw Mr. Bush saying that they had to exterminate my bats, and whoever could cath them and turn them in would get $150,000. I didn't want anybody to kill my bat friends. That Bush guy is such a jerk. I finally got them into the playroom, and started gluing the box together. As soon as the box was glued together, I could take the bats somewhere safe.

The wall of the playroom with the Laundry room and Farm room wasn't there. Instead, there was a big lake or the ocean. Where the stairs should be, there was a pier going way out to a tower. And the floor was all muddy. This fat guy and some lady came, and they were talking to me. The fat guy was rolling around in the mud, naked. I had a feeling these people were up to no good. Then the guy and the lady swam out to the end of the pier, which was a long way away. They noticed that they smelled nice. It must have been something in my mud. I was trying to find the glue and finish gluing the box before they got back, but the fat guy came back wearing a uniform and he was Al Gore. I picked up the box and ran outside, and tried to catch a ride with some people going by, but they wouldn't help me. They were jerks. Then that Al Gore guy got my bats and turned them into dusty silver stuff. I wanted my $150,000.

I woke up at about 3:00 Friday morning (dokent might say it's still Thursday, though). Took a bath, brushed teeth, wrote this. Gotta write thang for Astronomy.
