Star-filled skies and an Astro Boy "Marathon".. (I use the term loosely)

I managed to spend a while with tara dzenis.. it's been a long time coming because we've spent every summer for the past 5 years living together.. it's strange to be apart this time of year, but living arrangements haven't put a stop to our antics.. we hit the beach on monday with zak erb.. Swimming, kite flying, frizbee, and music. Late that same night tara and i went back to the beach for another swim and a crazy improv drum/guitar/weird vocal jam.. The stars were SO beautiful that we got back to my place and pulled our beds out onto my deck so we could fall asleep beneath them.
I dreamt that Zak came over uninvited with a large group of his friends that i'd never met and trashed my neighbour's garden shed.. at which point my neighbour got even by driving his pickup truck onto my lawn -- doing donuts in a fit of rage. Can someone analyze this dream for me?
Back to the real world.. thismorning when tara and I woke up, we started assembling a great musical instrument that i've had sitting unfinished in my garage for months. It's a tree root that's all twisted.. we mounted it upright on a flat board and will string it with guitar strings.. When we put a pop can on one end, you can play it with a violin bow and it makes the most wonderful music. I assembled it quickly a few weeks ago to ensure that it works.. and it was pretty exciting. Pictures soon to come.

Haa. And last but not least.. This is what I've become..

"I found an Astro Boy DVD for ten bucks at Blockbuster. I haven't seen the show since I was 3 or 4, so I was pretty stoked. Leslie came over and we had an Astro Boy marathon, but that lasted for only three episodes. She was hilarious.

Leslie: I feel like I've been watching this for three hours. How long has it been?
Me: Twelve minutes.
Leslie: I have to go to the bathroom.
Me: Should I pause it?
Leslie: No.

This sounds moody but Leslie and I have a hilarious rapport. She's the one who talked me into breaking into the tank range."

Yep, that's you all right. And your dream means you feel tension between your life at home and your friends. I don't know why this exists. It could be something superficial like worrying about disturbing your neighbours, or something more abstract like the fact that everyone's going separate ways right now, and the life you're used to feels threatened.

That's very insightful! There are many possibilities.. But there's no time for that now! I have to get up early tomorrow and build a rocketship! (i wish i was lying-- i was at walmart buying aluminum earlier this evening with my mother)

Your Dream means that "Jewdges" is the only man you will ever truly love, but since he is married all you will be able to do is cookies on the great lawn of life... tragic... truly tragic
