In the Mouth of Madness

If you are interested in the midnight showing tomorrow at the Imax theater in town, let me know. I am totally hitting it before heading to South Dakota.

This morning I was woken by a dream – a nightmare really. Also I wasn’t really woken by it as it came after the alarm clock woke me up. Of course it wasn’t really the alarm clock that woke me up as the alarm clock was playing the decoy for the smaller clock that woke me up. Apparently I scared the smaller alarm clock and it had to hide behind its big brother. Confused yet? Imagine going through this all when you are not really awake yet.

As I prepared to go back to sleep and get as much rest as I could before starting the day, I fell into The Dream. This particular nightmare was not one of monsters chasing me, the world coming to an end in some cataclysmic way. This dream was a nightmare for two reasons alone. The first being that apparently my character in this dream was being played by Keanu Reeves – and for the record no, I did not know Kung Fu. Perhaps even scarier was that the great leaps of insight that came at the end of the dream in a method similar to JD at the end of an episode of Scrubs made sense to me. Yes, the Keanu logic seemed normal and intelligent to me.

So, I lay in bed trying to make sense of the nonsense. Although I have watched a few Keanu movies in my time, I am not particularly prone to hearing my voice in that of Ted Logan or Bill S. Preston, Esquire for that matter. Also, while the voice was the Keanu that was made fun of in the Celebrity Jeopardy skit where he was played by Tobey Maquire, it was the Point Break Keanu that I was stuck in the head of. See how confusing it can get?

A writer is releasing a story they claimed would never be written. It is being released free to the web, but she is accepting donations. I never read the first story, but I will read this one. I will even forgo a bit so that I can donate in for them. I may be that writer in need some day. ;)

A short series of thoughts, and the promotion of yet another Young Adult novel on Geek Like Me. What can I say? I'm on a roll.
