perry and i in the car.
perry: "I had another dream last night. Media Revolution went to the
white house to run Norton Utilities on all the PCs there."
me: "Wow."
perry: "Only there were like fifty of us. And the white house looked
more like a Chuck E. Cheese on the inside."
pause.
perry: "See, Yush and I were out last week and ran into this guy,
there's this cult, see, called the Los Angeles Church of Christ -"
me: "Oh yeah, they have the Boston Church of Christ too. It's a cult."
perry: "Yeah, it stared there, and now, see - "
me: " - and sometimes they roam the Harvard campus, looking for
victims."
perry: "Yeah. They try to, like, alienate you from your friends and
family, so - "
me: "And there was this one girl, Natasha, who lived in Eliot House
and was always like dropping out of the ceiling to accost people
in the Widener stacks. I'm sorry, go on."
perry: "So there was this Asian guy, right, he was like Korean, and
he was talking to us - they travel in pairs, and he was like the
experienced one, and there was this other guy, the new recruit,
who was this tall white guy who didn't say anything and looked
kind of nervous. So I was telling Yush that I felt sorry
for this tall white guy, he looked kind of out of it and didn't
say anything. So in the dream, this asian guy was there,
but the tall nervous white guy had been replaced by President
Clinton. So the asian guy was telling us about how we needed
to run Norton Utilities on all the PCs. And I told the President,
"Mr. President, it seems like a waste of resources for us to be
doing this." But he didn't say anything."
pause.
