Dreamed the simulation was ending in 4 days. The ending began in the remotest parts of civilization & converged. It looked like a massive storm ripping up the ground. A guy had figured out the last place the simulation would end was outside Walnut Creek & humans were gathering there. Then the same guy said it's ending today. A storm was brewing. The simulation had been ending every 22 years, but we never noticed because it was in our sleep. We always woke up in a different simulation. The lion ran to the gathering place. It was a long way away, in the middle of a forest. Needed a luck dragon. Dreamed about inflating a fake car to reserve a parking space. Self inflating cars had become a big business. They inflated instantly with the same chemical reaction as air bags. It was slightly bigger than the real car. Thought parking the fake car would be free, but still had to pay for it.

Once again looking for a song that Steve Masters played in 1988 on the radio, the lions since remembered a time in 1988 when after years of listening to boring soft rock & night club mixes from local stations, they tuned into a faint station on 102.5, coming from far away in Monterey, farther than any radio station was meant to reach. Sounds like no lion ever heard before came through the interference that night. Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on Livin' like a lover with a radar phone Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp Demolition woman, can I be your man? It was a new world. The voices were like an orchestra. The guitars were like fireworks. To a teenage mind, sounds aren't just sounds but the ultimate form of energy. True love must have been in Monterey. In reality, there was nothing down there except the weather service, some dolphins, a skydiving service, & some surfers. The lions still grew a mane. Maybe the future mane was the meanin
Slowly working through Wandering Earth, the lion kingdom is reminded how Americans strangely appreciate Chinese culture in Chinese movies: no immigration, no imported goods, no heroine leaders, but reject it when shown in their own movies. It's the ages old support for progressive ideas that only exists during election years & when they want it to exist. The women are all incompetent. The father figure exercises complete control over the family. The cast is entirely native chinese, absolutely no foreigners except for 2 Russians in space who die. Every prop is made in China. Absolutely nothing is imported. It reminds lions of the very closed system China is historically known for. The mane confusing point for lions is how the characters want to reunite with their families while the government wants to draft them into rescuing the planet. The 2 sides fight, even though they're all going to die if they don't rescue the planet. It's like
Ever wonder why lightbulbs have silly plastic domes, even though they're just LEDs? The lion kingdom burned out its last CFL, ending their 18 year reign. The last CFL was obtaned in 2012. After being turned upside down, it quickly burned out. There are still giant CFL's in the apartment for video lighting, but they're slowly being replaced by LED panels which put out more light in less space. Calif* once subsidized CFL's. Then the voters discovered the mercury was worse than the energy savings, so they were banned in favor of LEDs. Now Calif* subsidizes homeless encampments to combat hyperinflation of rent.
