Covid plus flu vaxxxine gave me crazy fever feelings and weird dreams for 2 days, I need to document one very detailed one in particular. Copying over a thread from bsky
Presenting: Peperony Of the Phone

I dreamed that there was a new keyboard phone... it was shaped like a very oblong ovoid oval shape with a metallic matte silver body, glossy white screen bezel, and light turquoise accents. It had a forked android OS and had a browser that was the UI of classic Opera Mini but with modern WebKit...

It seemed perfect (somehow I had held and tried one?) so I was immediately trying to buy one...

But their website was TRASH, it was only partially mobile optimized, and it made my iphone lag to hell. So I was trying to get it from my phone onto my iPad or my desktop computer...

Because their website was hosted on one of those like things where you pay to run some kind of cloud app and they give you a free webpage for it, it had a fuckass weird web address. it was. I swear:

So I was trying to get this page from my iPhone which was lagged out by the website to my iPad or my computer. Airdrop wouldn't work and I couldn't fucking type the url right. (note how pepperoni is spelled wrong in the url & there's like a dash where you might expect a dot. I couldn't get it)

Making it more difficult, this was all happening while I was on my weekly zoom call with my parents, and as usual, they were doing stuff that requires a higher level of energy than I can imagine having, and also having a tech problem, but this time they were doing it while on the call.

They were at some like mountain resort place, both on two different trams to go up the mountain at sunset. The call was happening on my dads iPad, and my mom, in a different tram car, was talking on AirPods connected to that iPad.

So while i was struggling with trying to type that weird ass url...

...I was also trying, to no avail, to cheerfully greet my family and also explain to them why that wouldn't work. But they couldn't hear because the tram was crowded and they were just on a zoom call in it anyway, and predictably, my moms car started going up the mountain & she couldn't hear anymore

That's basically it

Also at some point in the dream I thought I was awake and I thought tom had walked in and said "I hope my music comes out good" and then left which they told me did not actually happen
