I had a dream last night where I was working at a Taco Bell, and KFC called the restaurant to offer me a new job. I had to take my cell phone outside during my shift to answer their impromptu interview, which mostly consisted of me answering questions about the history of KFC.

"Who was Colonel Sanders?" the KFC interviewer asked, and I told her that Colonel Sanders was a rich white dude who "invented" the eleven secret herbs and spices mix by stealing it from one of his slaves. The interviewer was quiet for a second, and then she told me that Colonel Sanders treated his slaves really well, and that they only worked nine hours a day and had lunch breaks and health benefits, just like the workers at KFC. I disagreed.

I don't think I got the job. At least, I don't think I would have if I hadn't woken up.

In other news, this made me laugh and I think it's very astute (and the Stephanie Coontz book mentioned in the post is definitely worth picking up). What do you think was the best time in American history? I'd personally say the 1990s, but then I was also a kid then, and all I knew was that having Tamagotchis was awesome and that Nickelodeon had some really good cartoons. I'm actually looking forward to the 2030s, which is when we finally get flying cars that run on cold fusion, sex-change operations are as affordable and easy as getting your hair dyed, and you can put an MP3 player in your brain.

I'll second the recommendation for her book. It's excellent.

They've been promising us flying cars for decades. They just do it to taunt us!

If we don't get flying cars in five years I am going to be VERY UPSET WITH WHAT MOVIES HAVE PROMISED ME.

It should be treated by governments as a matter of urgency. We want our flying cars, and we want them now!

That is...

...one of the best dreams I've read in a long time. I love it.

I can't wait for the 2030s, too (will I be alive then?), because it'll prove to my sister that we're not all going to die in 2012. She's a little freaked out about that at the moment, though at the same time, she doesn't care and is looking forward to it because she won't have to work at CVS anymore.

This is a very good way to look at things XD

It is a good way to look at it for her, but for me, it just tends to freak me out and make me anxious. Since last July, I might have harbored suicidal thoughts from time to time, but just the thought of having only 2 years left to live because of ancient prophecies and world changes just really irritates me. And makes me panic a little.

*hugs* It's not going to end! That's just ridiculous. *petpets* But your sister should get a new job.

*hugs* I know. That's what I believe, too. My sister just gets so depressed over her job then watches all of those 2012 shows on TV and starts to freak out. She does need a new job, and hopefully, she'll move quickly away from here once I do. :)
