The Death of a Dream

After seeing a national newspaper with the headline, "Waiting for Gustav" (in relation to the Hurricane approaching New Orleans) I thought, "how awesome that a national paper would pun off of Waiting for Godot."

It took me a few minutes to realize that most people would probably think it referred to Waiting for Guffman.

A Dream of my Dog on a Balloon

I had a dream that my dog chased after and caught a helium balloon. She began to lift off the ground as I chased after her. No matter how fast I ran, she grew further and further away from me. I stopped running when I realized that I would never be able to catch her when she fell. I never even found her body.

Verdict: 4/10
