Among other associations, George Tenet's age on 8/1/1980 divided by 2 equals from 3/3/1959 to 12/14/1972.

I ordered the DVD of "The Happening" quite a few weeks ago but I am just now watching it.

I find myself wondering if this movie is why I was seeing that Jeep Wrangler parked over in front of building on the next block towards downtown. The model was the same or very similar to the Jeep Wrangler I used to drive but that Jeep Wrangler in the movie and also the one parked nearby was orange colored while mine was black in color. I wonder about it more because that was the Jeep Wrangler going to the town of Princeton, New Jersey, and the colors of Princeton University are orange and black.









The Happening (2008)

Mr. Collins - Realtor: You were with the Private. What do we do?

Alma Moore: We need to do something.

Elliot Moore: Just let me think.

Large woman in group: They're dying.

I am at the part now where they are at some point where they seem to be surrounded by the conflict that is central to the story and I notice there is a woman who at moments resembles a woman that lives in this building. I saw her again today outside as I was walking in and she said something to me recently when I was sitting downstairs waiting for my laundry. Ah yes, that was when the heavy snowstorm came in as I recall now. I remembered that she said something about staying at home and eating tuna instead of going to the grocery store and I could not remember at first why she told me that detail. I had mentioned something about how I had found treacherous the walk to the grocery store because of the ice and that was when she mentioned tuna. I thing that was just a few days after I saw "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and I thought to myself about that scene where "Klaatu" steals a tuna sandwich from the machine. The notion of stealing from a vending machine was also in a fairly recent episode of "NCIS."









The Happening (2008)

Elliot Moore: I need a second.

Mr. Collins - Realtor: They released it? We're not near the roads.

Alma Moore: We can't just stand here as uninvolved observers.

Elliot Moore: I need a second, okay? Just give me a second.

Alma Moore: We're not gonna be one of those assholes on the news who watches a crime happen and not do something. We're not assholes.

Star constellations

I wasn't going to write about a dream I just before waking up and getting out of bed but I was later in the shower and I started thinking about a possible explanation for the star pattern I saw in my dream and so I decided to write about that part and to try to write the least about the rest of the dream as I could, which I feel compelled to not write about for no real reason.

The compelling part about the dream is the pattern of stars I saw. The dream seems to have started with me and I was out in the woods somewhere and the light was dark and I had some kind of ability to radiate laser beams from my fingers or somehow create laser beams. As I think more about that as I write this now I thing again that I did not actually see the laser beams but I am vaguely aware that I could see the patterns I created on people with the laser beams. The notion of the laser beam is never really visually established in the dream but that is a notion that is strongly in my mind after waking up. The last thing I seemed to do with my laser beam power was that I saw myself form a pattern of stars on the ground to my left. The power seemed to stop working at that point. I also found my puzzled about how there were five stars in my creation when I expected only four. Since I was wearing those stars on the epaulet on my black jacket then I was thinking of how the United States Marine Corps has never had a five star general officer and I don't think the USMC should ever have a five star general officer.

What I puzzled about was how the pattern of those stars did not seem consistent with how an officer of the United States military would wear a five-star pattern on his uniform. I seemed to be wearing the winter working dress uniform of the United States Navy. What was unusual was how one of the stars was set away from the other four stars.

When I was in the shower and was thinking about that visualization in my mind of those stars that I had created on the ground and then was wearing my shoulder, on the black jacket that is the type United States Navy sailors used to refer to as the "Eisenhower" jacket, I wondered if that pattern was supposed to represent the star constellation we call the Big Dipper.

Ah, yes. That has got to be it. Just now as I wrote that word "Big Dipper" I remember dialog that happened soon later that is consistent with that notion.

So going back to what I was thinking as I decided to write this note, I thought about how my visualization of the star pattern did not match the Big Dipper very well. But then I started to wonder if I was seeing the pattern of the Big Dipper while I was standing on a planet or moon that circled a star that was very distant from our planet Earth.

I keep thinking of reasons why that all could be just a normal dream. But maybe it is not.

After my laser beam power stopped working, I saw some of the people I had been forming laser beam patterns on and they were all getting into cars and leaving in a long procession of army-type vehicles. They all seemed to be from World War 2. I noted the color pattern of one of the vehicles but I cannot think of any comment to make about it.

Then I seemed to be a sentry on a hill in downtown Seattle Washington. I was aware that I was totally alone in my role. I was also aware I was wearing a United States military uniform but I cannot visualize any details about it from the dream. I was there for a long time. Some kind of conflict started among a few local people that had walked up and I was trying to stay out of it. The next part I remember from the dream is that I was sitting in a room and there were people around me and one was the old woman whose dialog is consistent with the notion that I was seeing the star pattern of the Big Dipper constellation. Then a woman stood up and she was also wearing the winter dress uniform of the United States Navy and I saw the postal clerk rating symbol on her uniform. Then I saw a person walk into the room I was in from the room next door with the half-window walls and where I had been aware that a conference was going on that all of us had been waiting for to get finished and that person who walked out of that room was a person that I understood in the dream to by my brother Thomas Reagan and he seemed to be about eight years old. He was also wearing the winter working dress uniform of the United States Navy and I noticed just after I saw the woman's rating symbol that he was also wearing the postal clerk rating symbol. But he had the E-1 rate white symbol patch on one sleeve and the E-2 rate white stripe patch on the other sleeve, which is definitely not a uniform standard of the United States Navy. After thinking about that after waking up I decided that detail is supposed to represent the E-1 and E-2 aircraft of the United States Navy.

As he walked up to me, I asked him where he had been because I have been standing on that hill everyday. There was some unspoken dialog about me having food during that time.

There was some other stuff that happened in the dream but I decided to end this note with his response to me about how he had heard I had picked up more stars. I distinctly remember his words to me at that point. He asked me "Is it worth it?"

At that point, I took off two stars from the jacket epaulet on my shoulder, which seemed to be the type used for award stars on United States military medals and ribbons, and I was aware that left me with three stars on my shoulder.

So as I was wondering after getting out of the shower is that I could have just had a normal dream. But I could have just dreamed that final star symbol I need.

"GOING PLACES"

(from internet transcript)

Woke up with blood on my shirt
My head spinning like I probably said a few stupid things
I'm late for work but somehow I don't give a shit
And besides, my job really fuckin' stinks
I'm on the brink of letting go
And takin' my ass down to Mexico!

When will I be back?
Man, I don't even know
But if you wanna know more
I just might leave a note:

To my boss - go jump in a lake!
To my ex - get the fuck out of my place
And tell that landlord - NO, he ain't gettin' paid
'Cause I'm going places today
Yeah, I'm going places

Grew up in this pathetic town
Not much to do but hang around
And watch the days fall off the calendar like... wow...
I can't believe it took so long to realize that this is wrong
And I completely don't belong here and I'm getting out
Now I'm letting go
And takin' my ass down to Mexico
Might be livin' in a bread box laid out on the coast...
It's better than here
So let's just have us a toast

To my boss - go jump in a lake!
To my ex - get the fuck out of my place
And tell that landlord - NO, he ain't gettin' paid
'Cause I'm going places today
I'm going places today
Yeah, I'm going places

I'm going places, go-going places
I'm going places, go-going places

Bass

To my boss - go jump in a lake!

KE'RA
(to Orner)
How do you feel? The effect should be almost immediate.

ORNER
(surprised)
I feel something.

FRAISER
Are you recalling anything.

[Orner starts to convulse.]

WOMAN
(alarmed)
Orner!

FRAISER
(to a nurse)
Help me get him down!

[Orner suddenly flat lines.]

FRAISER
He's not breathing. There's no pulse. It's a code blue!

[She puts an oxygen mask over his face and begins compressions. As the nurses arrive with paddles, his heart rate picks up.]

FRAISER
Wait a minute, he's stabilising.









KE'RA
Next time it will work.
(to Fraiser)
I believe I know where I miscalculated. May we begin again?









O'NEILL
Hey. I heard the test didn't go too well.

DANIEL
She'll figure it out.

O'NEILL
Listen, I'm not saying the first woman you've fallen for since Sha're isn't a peach…

[They stop.]

O'NEILL
(cont'd)
But if she remembers who she is, you'll be the first to go.
