I’m part of an expeditionary team of space travelers en route to somewhere or other when out of nowhere, our craft is attacked by a ship full of Predators. While on the run from them or after being towed by them or something, we end up crashing on the Predator home-world! (Whoa.)
It takes a bit of time for the Predators pursuing us to zero in again. Enough time for us to high-tail it from the crash site and, for some reason, make a b-line for the Predator capital city. Here is where it turns odd. We find an apartment in a run-down building and move in.
It turns out that the Predator society actually has humans living among them and they’re revered. There are marble and bronze statues of human beings here and there and humans freely walk the streets though usually, while wearing T-Shirts with nonsensical slogans (likely nonsense because I generally can’t read in dreams). For religious purposes, Predators must hunt and kill humans a couple times a year, but they go off-world to do so.
It’s tense for the first few weeks as we live in the apartment, not really knowing any of the above, but slowly we start to venture out and integrate into the Predator-human society.
At the end, though, the Predators that were originally following us, discover our home. Luckily, we’ve retrofitted our building with a menagerie of traps, weapons and all-around awesomeness. The climax has a dozen predators sieging the house. For some reason, the basement is a giant safe with quick-opening/closing doors on either side. We trap a couple predators in there and burn/poison them (don’t recall) .. then there are a couple nukes in our yard (gotta have nukes). I woke up while trying to reach the nukes in order to detonate.
There was also something about one of our party being pregnant with a Predator baby and some other side-plot stuff, etc. etc.
Someone needs to get on this. There should probably be more choppers, too.
I’ve had some of the essays and scripts I’ve written up on my writing page for some time. Unfortunately, I’ve been too lazy to transfer the documents from their Word format and make them into actual blog posts. Until today!
I haven’t transfered all of them because it is a tedious process to format things properly and link up the citations (I know I can get some plugin, but this really doesn’t warrant it.) I started with my four essays on Mulholland Drive from one of my film classes in college. The idea was that everyone chose a movie at the beginning of the semester and then wrote four essays on that film throughout the course as certain topics were covered. These are my four.
I honestly haven’t read these since I wrote them except for the bits I caught during the transfer process. It’s very possible that these are kinds of pompous, uninformed and pretentious allegories about David Lynch and film in general that get one “banned” from the “internet”. Enjoy!
Ticket in hand, I will be attending what is sure to be a madhouse of epic proportions: the Downtown Chicago Victory/Concession Obama Rally. The slide show below should update in real time as I take and upload pictures. I’m using my iPhone, so quality has to suffer in order for immediacy to flourish.
I was randomly inspired to make some HARD-HITTING POLITICAL SATIRE this morning in the form of fake bumper stickers. The first has to do with last night’s second presidential debate.
And the second is in reference to Joss Whedon’s amazing master-work.
This is a Flickr/Google Maps mashup displaying all our trip photos AS I TAKE THEM! (Whoa.) If you’re interested in the technical details, I’ve posted an explanation here. Brian’s photos laid out on a map are here.
Turns out this map will only show the last 20 images. To see all the images mapped, go to my Flickr Map
