Holy hannah. I just got off an almost four-hour Zoom call with some old friends. We’ve all scattered now, but we all did our undergrad degrees at the same university, and many of us attended the same high school.
Great time! There were plenty of “remember whens?” and the like. Also lots of “what the kids are up to” kind of stories. I was reminded of Stand By Me, the movie, and especially one of the lines in the film:
“I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?”
We were all a little older than twelve when we all met up, but not by much. If there’s anything good this virus has done, it’s got me back in touch with some dear old friends.
) superhero adventures with a woman who was a cross between amanda whats-her-name’s character from Aquaman and Wonder Woman, only played by someone highly reminiscent of Michelle Pfeiffer. All with a sound track of Vietnamese outlaw rap.The thing that woke me up and that I actually said out loud (and had no relation to the dream that I’m aware of); Arroway and Banks should have died of old age having never been able to translate, let alone interpret the messages.
