I had a dream

The other night I had a very strange dream. Don't worry, this dream is fun for the whole family -- no nudity or adult situations. One warning, though: you have to have been watching Grey's Anatomy for this dream to make any sense. I will refer to the character's name, not the actor. Off we go...

So it starts out in a small room in a hospital. I can tell this because of the stainless steel cabinets and the tiles on the wall. I'm there with Izzie Stevens -- very cute blonde doctor. Quite frankly, she's blathering on about her personal life and I can't really make out what she's saying. I look down and I'm wearing scrubs.

We leave the room we're in and run into Alex Karev. He's talking to me as we walk down the hallway. Basically, all I get from him is that there's a woman in labor and I'll be in on the birthing process as the 'proxy father' since the real father is not here yet. I seem somehow okay with this.

Next, we run into Christine Yang who is acting very hyper. She tells me that the woman giving birth is none other than -- Courtney Cox! (what she has to do with Grey's Anatomy, I don't know... but I run with it). Apparently, David Arquette has not shown up and they need a 'father figure' to stand in.

Okay, so Dr. Yang is explaining about all the operating room rules: No touching your face, hair or any other part of your body once you're scrubbed in. There will be no touching of any of the operating room equipment, you can't even touch any of the doctors... things like this. She is still very hyper. We are still walking down a long corridor.

The one thing I notice is that it seems more like a 'real' hospital than a glossy TV hospital. Things are well-lit on TV and this hospital is not -- like I say, seems very real.

Anyhow, we finally reach the O.R. and there's a round window in the door that I look through. Courtney Cox is pissed! She's laying on a table that looks more like an MRI machine, but it does have stirrups and there's a sheet draped over her legs. She's yelling at anyone in the room and beginning to throw things.

I look closer and I notice that David Arquette is now in the room with her and that's who she's mad at. He then proceeds to storm out of the room and is not making any motions like he's coming back. When he busts through the door, the group of us all take a step back to get out of the way.

Without realizing it, I'm in the scrub room washing my hands. Dr. Karev and Dr. Yang are there pointing out things I should be doing. "Scrub harder", "You missed a spot", "Not like that, like this" they tell me. I am then dressed in the 'gown' (that long drape that seems like it's on backwards) and the rubber gloves are snapped on.

I am then positioned next to a large metal table where Courtney Cox is laying. I am standing roughly over her left shoulder, looking toward her feet. I must say the table she's on is dirty. The paint is peeling and there's some rust. She is anxious, but I'm not sure if it's the nervousness of giving birth or the fight she just had with her husband.

There are about 10 doctors standing around her and she's visibly shaking, almost like she's cold.

I wake up.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble

High Kings vs. Celtic Thunder

I had the rare chance to compare Irish music this weekend. I caught performances by both “The High Kings” and “Celtic Thunder”. First up was HK: The show was filmed in front of an audience somewhere in Ireland. The set appeared to be a simple wooden stage that was reminiscent of a boat dock – simple and effective. There were drums on the left and a small supporting band on the right. While they played, a large video wall displayed images behind them – mostly water – setting the mood for the song they were singing at the time. The vocalists were excellent. You could tell they were really Irish by their brogues, which were honest and uncluttered. The harmonies were good and you could tell they were really singing. In the beginning of the show they made it clear that everyone should know all the words to the songs they were singing and the audience was asked to “sing up”. They started with a rousing version of “The Rocky Road To Dublin” which drew everyone in and they never let the audien

Lunch with a side of awkward

Last week I was sitting in my office wondering what to eat for lunch since I didn’t bring anything to eat. I happened to be in our break room and saw a collection of restaurant menus and began thumbing through them for suggestions. I came across a place that I had heard of but had never been to, so I decided to go there – mostly because of how close it was to the office. I walked in and looked around. The place was empty. There was a table of 4 ladies in the corner who looked like your basic bridge-playing women. Sitting in the booth next to them was another couple that looked like they were wrapping things up in order to leave. Finally a server appeared and seated me at a table across the aisle from the foursome. By then, the other couple had left. As I looked around, I noticed a lot of the place was made of or covered in wood. It’s the kind of a place you might find overlooking a body of water, but all that was outside this place was a parking lot. The server was tall, thin, dark hai
