Dad with a strange haircute dream; my spelling's gone native

This morning I was feeding the dogs and fixing myself some instant espresso. I saw a cactus on the cutting board, a little Mammalaria with red fishhook central spines that stuck out taller than the other white spines that covered it.. Stan had it out there so we wouldn't forget to take it with us when we stop by my parents on the way to New Mexico. It was a kind my dad, who has a fondness for cactus but not as extensively as Stan does, had lost a while back. So we found one for him. I thought about my dad, and then remembered my dream (you know how that happens...you completely forget your dream until there's a trigger in the environment?).

My dad had long hair...not Stan ponytail long hair, but long...below his ears...shaggy. But it was only really long on his left side (heh...the symbolism). The right side seemed pretty short, like he'd gone to a defective barber (Floyd?). IRL, my dad's hair is VERY short. He's überconservative. The only saving grace of length he had was when he had enough on top for a comeover...and that wasn't saving him gracefully. I don't know really what color my dad's hair is now. Its shortness hides any hint of color. I think he's pretty white. But in the dream it was greyer.

And this is the horrible part...the really awful part. His hair style in this dream reminded me of....oh, I just can't say it, it's awful, it has Freudian implications. It reminded me of the hair of someone I like. A lot.

This is very strange, but I've been typing things phonetically lately. For example, just above, I typed "dox" for "dogs." Also, I seem to put apostrophes in inappropriate places, i.e., "the dog licked it's paw" and when I go back and read it, I obviously see my error, but why do I do it when I'm typing? Is it a stream of consciousness kind of typing where my filter isn't on?

Hey, I just became a bronze Power Seller on ebay today. Whoopie. Somehow I can't get excited about it. I don't know if I'll even be able to keep it since I'll be gone for a while. Some people take that very seriously, just like other little web memberships and cliques from back in the 90s. Frankly, I just can't see where it all matters.

Congratulations on your Bronze seller statice. You dog!

Do you think the long hair on your dad's left side is just a failed comb over?

Posted by Stan @ 03:12:2005:03:51 PM CST

Oh no, I am becoming a dog! What do I do now?

Failed comb-over...that's pretty funny.

Any guesses on who his hair looked like?

Posted by Ann @ 03:12:2005:03:54 PM CST

Rif Raff ???

Posted by Stan @ 03:12:2005:03:58 PM CST

Nope...wrong ballpark. Heh. Funny guess, though.

Maybe I better explain better (I forgot to mention this about the dream).

In the dream, my dad actually HAD hair. On the top of his head as well.

Posted by Ann @ 03:12:2005:04:01 PM CST

Ummm... is this person a musican?

Posted by Stan @ 03:12:2005:04:20 PM CST

Yes. ):-(

Posted by Ann @ 03:12:2005:04:21 PM CST

I imagine that with the British blood and all it's even remotely possible that your dad and this musician might be very distant relatives. This could explaine the resembelance?

Posted by Stan @ 03:12:2005:05:09 PM CST

Aaack! There's no resemblence! It was just the hair!

But yeah, there is that British bloodline, you got that part right...

Posted by Ann @ 03:12:2005:05:11 PM CST

Just the hair! I'm sure it's not Mr. Rotten, but it surely has something to do with a saying on a T shirt he once wore. Something about hateing some band, so there's not much left for me to guess at.

Posted by Stan @ 03:12:2005:05:20 PM CST

You're getting close. ):-0

(trying to picture my dad with Johnny Rotten hair....)
