elevate me
I’ve loved elevators since I was a kid. I think just about every kid does. The sliding doors aren’t the novelty they once were, but the idea of a little car that you can drive up and down a vertical hallway is way too nifty for words. I ride elevators wherever I find them, even… Read.

Farnsworth
I remember only the very last part of the dream I had right before the alarm clock began to bleat: I was at a dirt-strip airfield waiting for a hop on a plane out of some little banana republic, and when it finally came and I climbed aboard I took one last look out the… Read.

Bowling with the stars
Daryl Hannah dropped in for a visit last night. We all hopped in the car and drove over to the local bowling alley to bowl a few lines, as you do when a major Hollywood star stops by. And then I woke up. Whatever happed to Daryl Hannah, by the way? I can’t even remember… Read.

Boots
I was waiting in the parking lot of the hotel for a lift into town from the air base where I was staying. I’d been hiking through the countryside of southwest England all week, but was taking some time off to hang around town, browse the book stores and pick up a few knick-knacks for… Read.

Meaning
Okay, so if you’re one of those people who believes a dream means something, try to noodle this one out: Last night, I dreamed I was making coffee in the toilet bowl.

Not Giving You Any Shirt!
Space aliens! I was being chased by space aliens all night! And what did they want from me? Did they need me to complete an act of betrayal that would give them the entire world? Did they want to suck my soul out through my eyeballs? Did they want to make me their uranium-mining slave?… Read.

Coffee Coffee Coffee
In last night’s dream I was somehow involved in shooting a scene from a movie. I don’t remember much of that, just the coffee. After the scene was shot we all lined up at a roach coach to get some coffee and baked goods. John Cleese in full-on Basil Fawlty mode was serving brownies at… Read.

Refrigerator
All I remember of last night’s dream is the end of it: I was walking home with a friend from my job as a cartoonist for a Chicago newspaper. He dropped me off at my apartment building before continuing on to his. My building was an almost featureless black cube about ten stories high that… Read.

Pedicure
I pulled all my toenails off last night. [Heads-up for Sean: This was in a dream. I didn’t really.] I stepped out of the shower and, as I was drying off, I noticed that my toenails urgently needed a trimming, so I sat my butt down on the edge of the tub and carefully clipped… Read.

Lost In Space
In last night’s dream I was looking for a science fiction story by wandering through the collected books in somebody’s house, and he had quite a few. Room after room was crammed with book cases crammed with books, in a house so big I remember driving through the hallways at a pretty fast clip in… Read.
