seriously this has got to stop. i'm not laughing.
this morning i woke up deathly terrified from one of the most frightning dreams i've ever had.
i don't remember what crime i had committed, but i was in jail. there was a couple other people in the "cell" with me - it was more like an apartment. i don't remember the details, but we were supposed to rob the cell - there was money in this safe in there or something. there was someone we were doing this for, and one of the people in the cell wasn't involved.
anyway right before the explosives were going to go off, i bailed and ran out of the building, accross the street to like the police headquarters. i ran in there and told them my story.
it got all stake-out-like; there were a bunch of people with guns, and one with this fan/light thing to keep the dust kicked up by the helicopter out of the room. i had to duck under the window so that my partner didn't know i was there.
this went on for a while - they couldn't get a shot on him - it would take 6 or 10 seconds for their bullets to get there (i guess they were using halo brand rockets). i guess he got away because soon i was at my parents' house in cleveland.
i was trying to get the dogs to calm down and get all the doors locked. then the pappa john's guy came to deliver a pizza, and behind his car in the driveway was the car of my "partner" - he was trying to get me to come out. i ran in the basement and called 911 but nobody was answering the phone - it was just ads like on moviefone for wmms.
after a while, i noticed some shadows moving by the window - the guy was coming to the back door. so i was running around trying to find somewhere i could hide.
about now is when i woke up, terrified, and shivering. although the latter could be due to the temperature. unlike last night, i am not going back to sleep only to have even worse dreams.
between you and me, i'm ready for some normal, old-fasioned terrorist, car crash or even tooth dreams.
when i don't have a job and watch comedy central all day my friends get awesome christmas presents.
so i thought it would be stylin' if i used my newfound knowledge of googlism generation to generate my mail sigs. besides the fact that mozmail doesn't seem to let me get my .sig from an executable, i ran into a few snags:
plan 1: just do a standalone php script.
problem: os x doesn't seem to come with a php binary. no, i don't
want to build it. no, i don't want a fink version either.
plan 2: just use soup!
problem: i don't really want to link with any libraries. i'm too
old and tired to play that game today.
plan 3: i had seen some stuff in the carbon docs for doing
soap/xml-rpc calls.
problem: yikes! this api (if one can call it that) is nasty
looking. it makes me miss hacking in php, which is a miraculous
feat. fortunately, the docs come with a sample app (which worked,
unlike the php ones i found yesterday) and should be easy to convert
to googlism. granted, i won't have nice functions like
strip_tags(), but i can deal.
well, maybe after a nice night of nightmare free sleep!
