How come I have an armpit, but not a kneepit, or an elbowbit?

You do. I mean, unless you’ve suffered some horrific accident.

Had a dream that I was pregnant.

That would be called a nightmare.

Watching season 2 of Star Trek Enterprise?

I had a dream that I was part of this civilization that lived in the building that spanned for miles underground. Apparently, there was a reason we could not go outside. I was an electrical engineer that was tasked for building something for the government of that civilization. And I was partnered with a scientist to do so. Even though I'm actually 31 now, I was 21 in my dream, though I still dressed the way that I do now. The dream kept moving forward at a quick pace. One min I'm fixing busted TV remote controls as a side hustle while sneaking some parts, the next I'm in a holo deck simulation of my actual front yard, having lunch, only to be reminded that it's almost time to get back to work.

There's this montage of me and the scientist working on the project and getting closer together. Next thing I know I'm sitting and having a video chat with my mom. And she's in like a steam punk Victorian era style royalty gear. Oh and she's literally outside the door of the building. She somehow was able to use the video intercom to talk to me on a secure channel. Asked how the "real" project was going, amongst other boring political things. She mainly wanted to see if I was still good. I should also point out at this point I already knew we could go outside. To fight what, well the dream never really showed. The next scene in the dream was me and the scientist in the lab, calibrating the final touches of our invention.

We celebrated our success by just sitting next to each other, chillin. He was telling me that he had so much anger in him and that it's hard for him to be in control. That he could never be fixed (I remember there was allot of emotional context for him being this way, but I can't remember it now). When he looked down in shame, I simply put my hand next to his cheek, brushed my thumb across the part of his cheek that was under his eye, said something really sweet (can't remember) and I looked in his eyes for a while. And he looked back and I'm not sure but I think we kissed. New scene, alarms blearing, posters showing what appears to be my execution, animated gif on paper, plastered up on the walls to hallway to our lab. The final scene in the dream is the scientist, outside in an amusement park. He's not in his 20s anymore, but early to mid-40's. He's on a date with a woman but not enjoying himself. The park is empty and looks almost like something out of Chernobyl. I think there was little girl with them too, I'm not sure. Last thing was him looking at the horizon, probably to see the sunrise or sunset, with a melancholy look on his face and longing eyes.

Last night was my high school class reunion...was supposed to be last year for the 45th but COVID happened. So they rescheduled for this year. I didn't make the thousand mile trip to play golf, go to mass, and hang out with people I don't even stay in touch with.

Some pictures have been posted to FB...goddamn those people are old.

If you really think about it, technically, clothes are just personalized censor bars.

Maybe more like a wrapper on a box of chocolate.
