Missed him by that much

I had another great dream where I'm a secret agent. I was storming through this giant lair, shooting all the bad guys as I went. (Occasionally, I had to remind them that I had shot them and they were dead, but outside of that it was a perfect assault.) I got to the final two goons before I reached the leader of the island stronghold, two women who kept trying to stab me with hypodermic needles. They both ended up falling down a giant starcase, and breaking their necks.

So I'm finally facing the big baddie when whamo! I elbowed my wife in the head. Her scream of pain woke me up, and the bad guy got away.

I hate it when that happens.

You must play a lot of video games.

I've had countless Socom dreams.

You know, I do play a lot of Civ III, but not too many first person shooters. Maybe I watch too much TV.

In my defence, I should add that we've been sleeping on the full sized futon in the living room. It's closer to the A/C wall unit. An elbow to the head would never happen in the queen sized bed upstairs.

No central AC? Damn.

At least you have A/C - all I've got is an open window and a fan.
When I wake up in the morning, it feels like I'm just back from a swim.

Hey Captain-a window and a fan sounds good to me. All we have is a black lab standing over us and panting and a cat that loves to stretch out and lay next to me.
Sylow-I'm usually the elbow hitter. I always feel rotten afterwards.
Last night I dreamt that Christian Bale bought the house next door and I could see him in the shower.Perhaps I should deal with this on my blog.

Until I got married, a window and a fan worked quite well for me - I still prefer a fan over AC.

Now I live inside all day, shivering because husband has the AC set at 68 and I'm accustomed to the temperature.

Sylow - maybe tonight you can recapture your dream, catch the bad guy and maybe by then your wife will start talking to you again!

Capt - Be honest, how many months of the year does it snow in Canada?

PG - I'm glad to know that I'm not the only elbow hitter. Please explain what this has to do with Christian Bale.

MB - I'm sure I got the bad guy early on in REM mode. Unfortunately, I only remember the last couple dreams of the night. e.g. This morning I dreamt my brother was engaged to Jessica Simpson, but she kept hitting on me. I think I prefer the dreams with guns.

Oh, and MB maybe you should tell hubby that if he turns up the heat you'd consider walking around the house naked. It's worth a shot...

My mom always keeps her house really cold...summer and winter...based on her doctor's advice. My sister & I call it 'The Bat Cave', and keep fuzzy robes on the coatrack so we don't freeze to death. Sometimes, for Christmas, she turns on the heat.

Sylow - if I'm forced to be honest, it's not a window, its a hole carved in the side of the igloo, and it's not a fan, its a polar bear breathing heavily.

Capt. if you turn the polar bear around, you might get better windage.
