Just had a really crazy dream. In the first part, I was playing in some sealed Legend of the Five Rings tournament and lost after my first turn when my opponent flipped an event whose text was "Target opponent must write two 10,00 word poems about a Holding he has in play before this timer runs out." Then a timer (on the card itself) started. All I had in play was an Iron Works and all I had to write with was a ballpoint pen and a napkin which was not working. The timer ran out and my opponent began laughing maniacally and I had a HUGE temper tantrum. I was SO mad.

In the second part, I was part of a crew closing down (for a good) an ice cream/hamburger store. We were dismantling all the coolers and stuff and we found a TON of still-good food and ice cream. Then we found a HUGE stack of money and we decided to go see a movie in New York City! We took a weird mini-submarine to get there that went super fast! I fell down in the lobby and tore a huge hole in the seat of my pants. I asked a coworker if he knew where there was an Urban Outfitters near by and he said he charges big bucks for an urban Outfitter's finders fee so I just rolled with having a huge hole in my pants. The bathrooms in the theatre were really gross. None of the toilets or urinals flushed. All of their bases just slanted at a downward angle into a flowing river of sewage, which you could see through the toilet holes. The floors were covered in putrid water, too.

Anyway, we bought tickets for the movie, which was G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA. The actual cinematheque was really amazing; it had a giant screen and there was a piano and a chandelier in a little lit-up area right in front of the stage. We sat down a few seconds after the movie started, and whatever was happening on-screen was seemingly amazing. There was a strange guy with what appeared to be a video camera recording right in the middle of the aisle; weirded still was the fact that he was recording the audience, not the film, and there were speakers emitting a low whine on the sides of the room. After about five minutes of the movie, the projector stopped and the lights came up to reveal that the camera man was Cobra Commander, as played by Joseph Gordon Leavitt in the G.I. JOE film itself. He said we were lucky to be the first live test subjects of his new experiment. A group of kids to our right stood up and started freaking out but then suddenly just froze in place. Their heads started getting bigger and suddenly their flesh fell off to reveal robot heads. They were turning into the Decepticon cassettes who went into the big boom box guy from the Transformers. When all their human bodies fell apart and they emerged fully robotic, they each pressed play on a little boombox at their feet and aimed them at us! We ran out of the movie house and they started chasing us.

That's when I woke up.
