I was messing with my old school 4th gen iPod from like 2004 except it was on this pink case and the little screen above the wheel had video capabilities and I’m guessing we were using Face time or whatever it’s called. The click wheel thing was gone too.. I think. I think it was something else but I’m not sure. I had like that and two phones, I think at least 4 devices on me. Maybe this was the weekend, Joshua was showing me a really nice kitchen through his phone, and had wine, and then pointed the camera at Anna and she waved, then his parents, then Kathryn.
I was digging through stuff around my desk, it had been a while since I’d been there and found drive kits under the desk in a box with other stuff where it didn’t belong so someone else was using the space. Later I went to some private music / calligraphy lesson and was playing with this wind up music box egg thing where on one side you could see the gears move like in a watch, and then after it started playing on the other side was a scenery that moved. The figure inside wasn’t too happy and she deviated from what the box usually did. I think she was over it lol. The elderly gentleman giving the lesson was showing an example of how to write a C in calligraphy with all the whispy filigree.
In some other dream I was in some dim lit living room with some people and could hear this one chick singing in the shower at the top of her lungs and it was terrible and I’m sure the terribleness was on purpose and I called her ratchet. Someone said to take that back and I was like what its not that bad. Then we were at a park and I tried making some gesture to throw the olive branch by offering to get us food or drinks or something, they declined and were heading out since the sun was setting. I was talking with Angela and she had to go since her dog was waiting for her. I think the dream assigned her dog the name Ishtar. Then I sat at a bench across from Kathryn and we were chatting. I asked if it were too late in the day for mimosas and cake and she said she’d love to but had to let her dog Isis out since she was waiting for her. Her dog may have been Ishtar and Angela’s may have been Isis. I’m not sure. Whoever had Ishtar endearingly shortened it to Ish. Kathryn looks like a tall lady in her pics, and my brain keeps comparing her height to Angela irl, I wonder if they’re around the same height or if Kathryns a little taller. And they have no reason to ever interact but I think they’d get along well if they ever met.
I was in the house I grew up in during the evening and decided to put the washing machine into some kind of self cleaning mode, this steam cleaning it does to the whole system. I watched this metal a move around with some steam / pressure wash thing going on behind this glass wall and started to walk out of the kitchen but peeked back and saw the arm laser cutting the glass to get out, and it looked super Terminator so I ran to the front door, unlocked it, and ran outside trying to think which neighbor was more likely to have a gun. I thought of the neighbor around the corner but where the lot used to be was replaced with some children’s play area with the squishy floor and water fountains like they have at Tempe Marketplace and Town Square. I ran to the next open area and it was filled in with the same thing.
Anne and I were walking around all these booths somewhere where there wasn’t much grass. I think it was midmorning but it was pretty overcast. It looked kind of like a college recruiting event except one of the booths was Twitter and I think they were recruiting. We heard this story of some AI that was in a SSD and could be transfered to other hardware that could move and do things. Like the drive was a brain that could sit in a mecha suit built out of computer components. I thought that was crazy. The guy talking about it said it was packaging itself up now to ship out. I guess it was purchased?
I can’t remember much of these dreams after this.
