As far as name-slap mindless action flicks go, it wasn't too crummy.

At least it didn't have hugging invincibility face cream.

I finished my week's to-do list early. What do I do with my life now?

I got Windows 3.11 working!

I have two disks left over. What are disks 7 and 8 for?

Did you seriously say "Windows 3.11?"

Fnu...tell me you're not using a 56k modem!

Modem? I always assumed he just drank so much coffee that he learned to vibrate data straight into the phone lines.

56k modems weren't even a thing when Windows 3.11 came out.

Or at least they weren't available for consumer products.

It's a good system. It feels fascinatingly similar modern mobile operating systems in some ways, but beautifully blocky.

And it doesn't try to install Candy Crush behind my back.

So something interesting has been happening. You know that stress dream where you're trying to get to a class you forgot about all semester but you can't get there for some reason (can't remember where it is, what it is, can't find your locker or your schedule, etc.).

Well, lately I've been having that dream and, like usual, I'll try to find it. But after a while I'll just go like "hug it. I'm done here." I just stop trying/caring.

I get that one a lot, but I don't play it much anymore. Want a walkthrough?

You will never find that schedule. Give up and ask someone for help instead. That forces the dream to come up with an answer. Now make it to class on time. If you're already late, if you stare at the clock you can rewind it. Now you can be in class on time.

I don't know what will happen for you, but for me if I make it to class on time the dream just crashes. It doesn't know what to do if you're in class on time, so it just gives up in confusion. You're not supposed to win.

Usually though I just leave and try to find a more interesting dream. The night is too short to waste time being in school again.

I've actually found not caring to be pretty effective. I'm late for class, I have a test for a class I haven't attended for the entire semeste, I'm completely naked in a very public place...when I get to the place of "hug it, I don't care anymore," usually the dream ends right there. And if it doesn't...well...I no longer care.
