DREAM


i am staying in a lodge in a rural area at a high altitude. there is a new policy in the area, wherein people can be randomly searched for drugs. frank santoro and i are outside in the daytime. he has drugs. the authorities make a crack-down on the area. i am told to take my shorts off, which i do without complaint. taking off one's shorts seems to be standard procedure. frank santoro gets caught. he seems annoyed, but like he doesn't care. i try to show frank a book related to his interests, but i compete with the authorities for his attention.

now frank santoro and i are snowboarding down offroad paths. i am 20 ft behind him, tethered to him via rope. i follow the same paths as him. i shift my balance in order to continue without falling, like in an arcade game. as we come toward some destination i get too close to his board and possibly trip him somehow, though it seems unlikely/coincidental, and he falls face forward into something in front of a glass door with 2-3 people behind it. i think frank is pulling my leg and/or is mad at me for getting too close to him. i become worried. i try to communicate to the people behind the glass door. they seem to be screaming.

now frank santoro walks in and his eyes are spaced farther apart than normal and are somewhat cross-eyed. he says he fucked up his eyes.

dream 2

i am on drugs at a floating world-esque store. i see a 1st generation imac-esque laptop that has a mirror instead of a screen. i am enchanted with this device. i make a loosely packed burrito. i take a bite and realize i don't want to eat it. i go outside. zack soto and chris cilla are sitting on the ground. i ask zack soto about the store's hours. zack soto says he is about to close. i tell him about something i did inside ... or i do something inside and he becomes exasperated with me. he tells me to leave. i tell him i know the owner. now the store is dark and there is a dj playing music.

i go to the next store, which is a gallery. i walk into what seems to be the exit. i immediately exasperate the person in charge and i leave.

I just had a dream where I was masturbating viciously with my Popeye-sized forearms, except the anchor tattoo was on my Tomine-sized wang instead of my arms, and there was a can of spinach stuck up my ass, and then Moby bought my comic and I got an Ignatz, Heil Hipster

@blaise:

Dudio, don't you have any batshit crazy ideas about space or time? re: comix

Clearly, now there is an audience to comment on them.

Or is it better to have them attempt to insult you?

this seems like pretty standard, as far as cartoonist anxiety dreams go, in this day and age.

lay off dudes, he's just trying to make a 'basic' blog post.

i'm not trying to be rude, but... what does this contribute to anyone's lives?

obviously it's implied that the answer is nothing. but it pads my ego to say it directly as well.
