I Dreamed of Harry Potter Stars

I had dream about the Harry Potter kids.
Let me be more clear.  I had a dream and Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were in it.



I dreamed that the three Harry Potter stars were on their way from England to Hollywood for some Harry Potter movie event thing.  But they had a layover in Chicago and would have to spend the night.  For some reason they decided the best place to spend the night was at my house.

So Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint arrive at my place and settle in right away.  Sort of.

Daniel Radcliffe went straight to my room sat at my desk in front of my computer and started playing games.
Emme Watson locked herself in the bathroom and started crying.
Rupert Grint just wandered around the house not talking to anyone.

So that was pretty much it for the rest of the dream.  People tried to get Emma Watson to come out of the bathroom but she just kept crying and told us to go away and stayed locked in there the rest of the night.  Whenever anyone tried to talk to Daniel Radcliffe he just ignored them and kept playing computer games.  If anyone tried to talk to Rupert Grint he said nothing, he just shrugged and went back to wandering around the house and occasionally stopped to look at things and touch my stuff.

This is not the first time I have dreamed about meeting famous people.  This dream was pretty standard for me.  Whenever I dream about famous people I always dream about them doing something wierd.





And remember,
we all live on a yellow submarine.

Behold Morgan Freeman!!!

I am still a long way from being able to use photos as a base for making character models in art programs.
But todays experiment has left me with hope for the future so I decided to share it.
I give you Morgan Freeman.



And remember,
we all live on a yellow submarine.

New Stuff

I think I might try to do some new stuff with this blog.  I have been messing around with the design settings but I am still working out how to make it the way I want.

I Remember Working: Wal-Mart

I remember working at Wal-Mart.
I remember standing at a cash register for hours at a time. When I went on break I would just sit. I would just spend fifteen minutes sitting and resting my feet.

Every Wal-Mart has a number of different departments within the store that are always staffed. They have people in clothing. There is someone in the toy section. They have people in electronics and sports and the pharmacy. The store I worked at was the same.
Every Wal-Mart has a housewares department. The Wal-Mart I worked at was wierd because our housewares department existed in a sort of limbo. No one was ever available in housewares and no one was sure if anyone actually worked there.
If you asked people would say, "of course we have people who work in housewares." But no one could actually name anyone assigned housewares. Logically we would think there must be someone working there but we did not know who.
If you called housewares you got no answer. If you paged housewares no one ever called back. If you actually walked over to the housewares section you could not find any Wal-Mart employees there.

I imagine that this must happen in other Wal-Mart's and other stores. Maybe every store has at least one limbo department. The department that never seems to have anyone working in it because no one actaully knows who works there.
