At Least It’s Consistent


I had all these details in my head when I woke up, I grabbed my phone to take some notes and suddenly it was all gone. All I could come up with is: “working at yet another store, singing A Whole New World, being angry at my sister, being horny.”

Busy Night

I dream that I’m having a fight with my sister because, as usual, I don’t want to share a room. I grab her sheets and throw them out.

Then I dream that I’m late for work. Then, that I’m singing to some cowboys. Then I’m in a Dragon Ball episode. Then, it’s November and there are no Christmas ads on TV because of Corona. It’s rather sad.

Going Home and Watching a Movie, the Usual

I’m walking home from work, on the streets I’m really trying to keep my social distance. Two little girls approach me, start to chat, they want to know how old am I? Where do I work? I try to send them back, tell them they’re not allowed to get this close to people. Their dad, who’s walking a few feet behind, apologizes. I tell him, look, your kids are nice, why don’t I give you my number and when all of this is over you guys can call me? He gives me his email address instead: I recognize the name, he’s one of my customers.

I arrive home and when I go up the stairs I see two teen girls laughing at me, I realize it’s because I’m not wearing any pants. I get inside my apartment and go straight to bed.

In the living room my family is watching a James Bond movie, it’s set during the Olympics and there’s a grand scene at the opening ceremony. Three of the characters sing on stage, the songs are beautiful and the lights are a spectacle, but I feel bad for the rest of the cast singing the chorus in the background, that always used to happen on Glee. Matthew McConaughey is there, he plays a character called “The King of Thieves”.

In the end James Bond dies and is put in an old coffin. I get up and my family tells me it’s too bad I missed the movie; they don’t know I listened to the whole thing from my bed.

Last Episode

We are watching on TV the last episode ever of Steven Universe, it’s 70 minutes long. The plot is about Steven splitting in two: one is a scary evil giant, the other is just a little child.

There are people hiding in a basement (or possibly a warehouse), all huddled in brown blankets. They are playing a game where they have to improv songs. A guy is called on stage, his song’s subject is “Pension”. He sings

Pension! I want my pension!

In that moment, giant scary Steven appears at the window. Everybody screams.
