My mom has been cleaning out the garage,
and stumbled upon our old Kodak slide projector today.
(my dad bought it 20 years ago at a garage sale in Utah)
We brought it back to the living room,
opened the dusty box, and projected the slides on the wall.

A time capsule was unleashed upon us!
arches: Utahback when my dad traveled all around.

After I pushed this slide in,
there was a silence.
" umm, is that me?" I nervously asked because
I had never seen this picture in my life.
My parents laughed hysterically.
"What did you do to my hair?!"
They continued to laugh.
I guess my mom liked to experiment with haircuts.
My dad brought back a bunch of exotic fruit from Singapore,
even though it was illegal to bring back foreign specimens.
That didn't stop him! (it never does..)

I suppose he does make the best shadow puppets.

I had a nice weekend. :)

haha that's cool! (aftereffects of your dreams) i hate it when you wake up from a semi-disturbing dream... and it just sits with you. @__@ i've only written down two of my dreams and both were strangely bizarre. you were actually in one of them! i don't think i've ever told you, so remind me. (just a warning that it's super... uh, strange)

I always having disturbing dreams about people. Then when I look at them "during reality", I remember all the weird things they did last night(in the dream, that is).

I dreampt that I was hanging on ropes really high in the sky and had to bargain with these little girls to let me down. But then I noticed 2 eagles next to me and started taking pictures and planned out what to blog.

oh you had a dream about me! :)
i am so flattered.
