Motorcycle License

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

A few months ago I took the Motorcycle Safety Rider Course. The only thing left for me to do was go and get the class M1 added to my current drivers license. I tried on a Saturday but the California DMV has gone all wonky on the Saturday schedules.

Today I went down to take the written test and get my upgraded license. I didn’t realize I had to also re-take half of the normal driver test in addition to the full motorcycle test.

I ended up passing without missing one question on either test. Now it’s on to a helmet, jacket, pants, and then a motorcycle at some point.

Yippie!

Funky dreams

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

I had some odd dreams last night. Normally I don’t remember my dreams so when I do I’m often left shaking my head.

Dream #1

I was back at Pixar. I was in line for lunch at the cafe talking with my friend CB. Normally there is a modest line for the cafe, but in the dream the line was snaking all over the building, past people’s cubes, through some offices, and outside for a bit. I don’t remember the conversation CB and I were having, but at some point people started carrying neon colored Model Ts around. CB stopped talking, picked up a bright pink Model T, carried it around a group of people, put it down, and came back into line. That’s when I woke up.

Dream #2

[Redacted] 1

Dream #3

I was at a meeting in a civil building. We had gotten out and were walking down a hall. Firefighters were being called to supper by an alarm system with a flashing sign. Rather than a klaxon the sound was the Robot ringtone I use for alarms on my iPhone. It took about five minutes of the dream with that noise before I woke up and turned off the alarm. Also, I think Miley Cyrus was holding an elevator for me.
