Tony Danza Endorses Buy.com
Well, at least in my dreams he does. I had a fairly short, but easy to remember dream last night. It’s odd as dreams tend to be. Here it goes:
I’m sitting in some house. It’s kinda old, doesn’t seem very big. I hear a knock on the door. I go answer it, and Tony Danza is at my door. He starts talking, saying something like, “Hi, I wanted to talk to you about Buy.com.” I’m thinking, Buy.com? Oh, I just got two packages from them, since I ordered two DS games recently. I hadn’t opened them yet, so I go open them, as Tony Danza follows me into my house, continuing to yammer about how great Buy.com is. I open my packages, but aside from the DS games I ordered, I find 3 other DS games in each package that I didn’t order. I start freaking out, “What are these extra games?? I didn’t order them, am I going to be charged?”
Tony Danza explains to me enthusiastically what those extra games are. “They’re part of Buy.com’s new recommendation feature. Based on what you purchase, Buy.com will recommend some games by putting them in your order!”
“What? Are you kidding me? That’s a terrible idea! Why would I want to be charged for games I didn’t ask for?” I inquire.
“Well, if you like a game, you can keep it. If you don’t want them, you can return them real easy!”
“Um, that’s retarded! Does Buy.com have a restocking fee? Even if they don’t, I’m pretty sure they won’t cover for return shipping!” I’m kinda hysterical at this point, frustrated that I have to deal with returns and annoyed I have to deal with Tony Danza telling me something is great when it’s not. I shoo him out of my house into the rain. (Apparently, it’s raining.)
Tony Danza later calls my house, explaining that he still doesn’t think Buy.com is bad, but he didn’t mean to be pushy. I tell him it’s alright, but you shouldn’t be annoying and insist on something when someone won’t buy it. I also tell him I thought he was great in Who’s the Boss?.
Around this time, I wake up to reality. Weird dream, huh? You know what else was weird last night/this morning? I was slightly awakened at some point when it was still dark, disturbed by some rustling around the bed. I saw Kelvin standing up near the wall where his cellphone gets charged, holding his phone pushing buttons. (He doesn’t remember doing this, but he says he probably got up to turn off the alarm. It goes off earlier on days with school, and today was not a school day.) Before I have a chance to ask what he’s doing, I groggily noticed that the pillow next to me is white. This was odd, because the pillow Kelvin uses has a black flannel cover. (My pillow has a blue corduroy cover, so it wasn’t my pillow.) I sleepily asked, “Kelvin, where’s the cover to your pillow?” He told me it’s just a white pillow. I asked where this pillow came from. He responded by telling me to calm down, “It’s just a pillow!” I then fell asleep again.
I woke up at around 9AM, which was good because apparently the alarm wasn’t set. I saw Kelvin hugging a white pillow (he hugs his pillow when he doesn’t feel like having it underneath his head), and no black pillow was on the bed. Clearly, the pillow was stripped of its pillow case. I asked Kelvin why he took the cover off; he said he didn’t. I’m like, “Well, why doesn’t your pillow have a cover then?” and upon realizing he was hugging a coverless pillow, he tossed it on the carpet and went back to sleep. The pillow case couldn’t have slipped off either; it’s really clingy flannel fabric. So yeah, really bizarre, tho it’s not the first time Kelvin has done weird things in his sleep.
