Kirk’s Pillow of Health?

tcr! · Oct 8, 2018 at 12:24 pm

AJR Filtration

What do they do in this place? I find it interesting that Pillow of Health isn’t on Google Maps while it’s duplex neighbor, AJR Filtration, is. Google, in its quest to capture all your data, surely should surely have geographical data by now. Maybe they’re not sharing to protect government secrets and citizen well being.

🤔

No, I didn’t google more than the map because I’d rather use my imagination than learn it’s all slave labor for Motel 6 pillows. Laboratory laundry techniques to get the ketchup and overnight drool out and off the pillow cases.

🤷‍♂️

Wait. Maybe it’s cornfield extraterrestrial pitstop because they’ve had a long cosmic drive and their little gray necks are sore. If only Mulder would’ve been located in mid-western Illinois this whole time and not the eastern Virginia.

🌽

Seriously. What kind of head-rest voodoo, sleep-cushion witchcraft goes on in there?

Occasionally I’ll see faceless figures in the evening having snacks and whatnots at the long folding tables. I want to turn onto their windy Rukel Way road, knock on the front window, mouth exaggeratedly, “are…you…guys…okay?”

I wager the windows to be sound proof thus my parking lot pantomime show. How could the glassware not be at a pillow factory?

🎭

I want a Pillow of Health, too. I imagine this pillow to be like a Potion of Healing. Where I wake up and all my hit points have been restored and broken limbs healed. Maybe I’ve gained +2 charisma.

Maybe it is more like a Bag of Holding pillow case where I could keep all my supplies after stocking up at the magic shop like Pee-wee did early in his Big Adventure. I’d squirt the mustard and throw it on the floor and everything.

💰

I always wanted to be Pee-wee when I got my own place. But I couldn’t wear his suit. I have the wrong hair.

Obviously I’ve gone off on a far fetched tangent now.

I should put on my Deckard trench coat, go there this week, and take more pictures. There’s a Walgreens on Main not far that I can get the digitals developed. Enhance 57 to 19. Track 45 left. Stop. Get a hard copy right there.

I see your profile pictures is all black. This leads me to believe that you work for the Pillow of Health’s shadow government.

You’re not supposed to mention pillow fight club. It’s part of the pillowspiracy.

Ordered it from there….it’s not a storefront.

My physical therapist told me if you go there during business hours the person in the front office will get a salesman from the back to sell you one.

For each pillow purchased they donate a pillow to a child in the hospital. They are super soft and fun colors as well other factors. It’s a neat cause.

They are teamed up w/ Google to put microphones in your pillows so your pillow talk at night translates into ads custom to you the next day. Sweet dreams! “Honey! I got an ad for handcuffs on my phone!”

When you’re in SuperTarget and see another dude yawning, do you ever just want to wink at him, add a little mystery and intrigue into his life?

I thought so.

I’m a man not a school bus

tcr! · Oct 5, 2018 at 9:25 am

53F with flashflood watch

In my dream last night I woke up on a Saturday morning after it had rained all night. There was a commotion outside so Sara and myself went to my bedroom window and saw that most of the houses in my cul-de-sac had washed away. Including the Fleet Commander’s. FEMA or similar were there with shipping containers along with the National Guard.

🌧

I ran down to the basement to be sure the fortress was secure. Wind and rain were showering in at the foundation because the pink insulation was barely intact. Probably because the cats are always pulling the fiberglass out and throwing it on the floor.

🐈

Sara came downstairs and we thought it best to get all the kids off to school and away from the Genesis flood narrative that was upon us.

Somehow our 4 kids multiplied into 9+ kids and I said in my most ludicrous voice, “my God, I’m a man not a school bus!”

🚌

I went out to the garage to check on my truck and noticed the front passenger tire was flat. Sara came out and suggested that we go get coffee since the kids had left for school. Then we walked over to the coffee shop since the weather was calming down.

☕️

After ordering our drinks I realized that the coffee house was indeed half craft store. The smell of soaps was unbearable.

Then I was back in my garage with my truck but it wasn’t really a truck. It was a jeep tractor. He had a plow on the front and everything. But not a roof, only a roll cage. I drove it with a flat tire to a repair shop that I’d never been to before.

The tire store was similar in look and feel to the one Clark encountered on his family vacation. However, the technicians were cheerful and upbeat. We looked at that flat tire and then I realized something was off.

🛠

The three wheels that weren’t flat didn’t have tires on them at all. They were just metal rims like tractors of the olden days.

BUT the tire that I thought was flat DID have rubber on it. It wasn’t securely on the rim either, just wobbling around like an asshole. I told the technician to do what he could and then thought I should head back to the coffeeshop/craft store.

Sara was eating an Avocado/Scottish egg hybrid thing when I got back. I didn’t know what to make of that but she seemed to be enjoying it.

🥑

And then I woke up.

Moral of the story is (again) this is why you don’t tell people your dreams.

🤫 #dreams #sara

I made a brief mental outline right when I woke up and then when I was dictating it on my way to work, I remembered the parts I forgot. Seems like the more I think about my dreams the more I remember them.

You do know dreams do tell a lot about you and what is going on in your life or what you thinking about or worrying about, don’t you? True. You can figure it out if you don’t really know..

tcr! tcr! · Oct 5, 2018 at 2:02 pm

For sure. I can point to very specific, real life situations that this dream somehow tied tied together in a single narrative. For starters, it was pouring down rain when I woke up.

Do you ever get pizza on the way home from work, and then think you should have a piece on the way home, and then decide to pose for a selfie with said pizza?

You should… 📸 🍕

Lying is the absolute worst.

“No, I wasn’t drinking. What the hell are you talking about?”

Telling lies. To another person. Makes them crazy. They start to question their own sanity.

I was just thinking about this this morning. When someone asks me something personal, and I don’t feel like answering, I lie my head off to them about it. I mean I was “literally doing battle with pirates” so how could you dare want to know? Or even if I just think the person is stupid. No, I was using my ultra-light aircraft and just floated above all the traffic. There are other exceptions, starting with if I don’t like the person. I’ll lie.

The best reply to all of these situations though is the blank stare. About 5 years ago when I first started at a job, an idiot wanted to know something. After the silence, she says, “Jim I think if you don’t want to answer something you just don’t!” Another person was present, and the second person giggled. I enjoyed that giggle. She let me know she gets me and she was on my side. The inquistor was probably too thick to know how obnoxious they were being, so it might have been all for naught but she eventually stopped asking me stuff like that.
