May 30, 2009-May 31, 2009 – I was watching a football game in the living room with Rob and Dad: Eagles vs. Redskins. The Redskins were up something like 28-13, or 34-13 – I sort of remember a 4 being in the score somewhere. The Redskins had the ball at their own 1-yard line. They must have ended up giving it up on downs, because then the Eagles had 1st and goal on the 1. But the Redskins stopped them and backed them up a bit. We saw a commercial for Quantum of Solace on DVD. The announcer called it something else, but the text onscreen said Quantum of Solace. Then the Eagles were having a kickoff on the Redskins 20. I was wondering why they weren’t going for a field goal. After the kick, I wondered if they were even allowed to placekick instead of punt. I was hoping that halftime would come soon, because I wanted to shower soon, and I was going to shower during halftime.

Akon featuring Akon (and Some Guy with Dreadlocks)

September 19, 2008-September 20, 2008 – I was watching the VMA’s whilst reading Entertainment Weekly. I was reading the first review in the music section. It was of Eminem’s new CD, which was given an A-. On the VMA’s, Will Smith was presenting the award for Best Rap Video. The winner was something by Akon featuring Akon and some other guy (with dreadlocks). Akon was sitting by himself. He started walking up. The other Akon and the other guy were sitting next to each other near the front. They were doing this funky dance, in which they were standing still and emotionless while pumping their heads back and forth.
Fiery Sparks

August 5, 2007-August 6, 2007 – I was standing with someone as we watched fiery sparks shoot through the air. We grew fearful as they came closer. I reached back and felt my neck – it was burning.

July 28, 2011-July 29, 2011 – I was watching Crazy, Stupid, Love. After an opening scene at a party, Steve Carrell and his wife Julianne Moore were driving home together. They had yet to separate and it didn’t even look like they were close to doing so, which was surprising. But it seemed like that was going to happen during the drive.
Stunt Filmmaking

March 17, 2011-March 18, 2011 – I was in a boxing match. I might not have been one of the fighters, but I was in the ring. A bag was placed over my head, as well as the head of someone in the crowd. Next thing I knew, the bag was removed, and I was in some unfamiliar location. Then the scene started over again. I was back in the ring. I saw somebody in the crowd have a bag put over his head. Darren Aronofsy – or some other director – warned me to look out. I looked around. Then somebody put a bag over my head. When the bag was pulled off my head, I found myself sitting at a desk in the lobby of the building where the match was being held.
Back to Which Future?

November 3, 2010-November 4, 2010 – My friends and I had been hired for the cast of Back to the Future. We had been transported back to 1986 for the filming. While waiting to find out what to do, we were on a lawn that looked like Aunt Peg’s old front yard. Then someone gave us a bunch of props that were on the ground and sent us off. A girl was driving, I was in shotgun, and Jeff and Walt were in the back. There was a cop behind us. It turned out he was pulling us over. Someone asked, “Is anybody’s foot hurting?” The officer told us that we were being pulled over because we had weapons in the car. He was referring to the props, which were in the backseat. I tried to explain that those were just toy guns. He pulled out one of the guns to demonstrate that this one was real. He shot it skyward. It fired like a bazooka. Then were on our way to the shooting. We came across a group of people who were having their lunch break. It was going to be hard to explain the movie to them, as it did not exist yet, and we had travelled back in time, and we were going back to the future as soon as we finished.
You Never Know with Some People

April 5, 2010-April 6, 2010 – I saw this girl on the cover of a magazine. There was a naked spread of her inside. There was a bit of a backstory to this girl, so I was surprised to find that she ended up here.
The Nihilistic Field Goal from 1984

December 11, 2009-December 12, 2009 – Brenton and I were watching a football game. A field goal from about midfield was being attempted. Brenton started telling me how one of the most nihilistic moments of 1984 was a scene in which someone was kicking a field goal. What made it so nihilistic was that the kicker ran really fast towards the ball as he was about to kick it and that it was a rather long attempt. It was as though nothing else mattered while he was kicking. I didn’t remember this part from when I read 1984.
Dinner with Some Guy and the Lump (Actually Maroon) Family

May 26, 2009-May 27, 2009 – I had invited some guy (who seemed to be a composite of a few guys I knew) over for dinner. I had also set up some people to be there as the Lump (a.k.a. Maroon) family from All That, as a joke. So I was pouring the guy a glass of wine. My hand jerked suddenly, and I spilled some on his arm. Then I decided that I didn’t want us to have this wine now, since it was the wine that I wanted to take home from Australia. So I suggested that we have the other wine that I had instead. The guy seemed a little confused but said, “Okay.” I was also trying to explain that the wine spill was just an accident. Then the guy got up and asked if anyone else wanted a wine glass, as his was the only one out. Lori Beth Denberg, who was there as the mom of the Lump (really Maroon) family, pointed to my bookshelf, where the other members of the Lump family supposedly were, and said that they didn’t want any. Then the guy went to get some more glasses. Then I went to the bathroom. I didn’t close the main door because I figured it was far enough away from the toilet entrance. I also didn’t close the door to the toilet.
What Say You, Family Guy Desk Calendar?

September 10, 2008- September 11, 2008 – I was flipping through my Family Guy desk calendar. There was one day with this picture of something shaped like a leg and a caption that read something like, “Fill up on Oscar night.”
