in a large light house / barn building. the second floor is a living area. there's a big open spot in the floor that opens into the floor below, where a huge fire is burning. it's been going for a while, and i'm surprised the whole building isn't on fire, but for some reason it isn't. after a bit of confusion i realize i need to go down to try to put it out before the whole place goes up. some running around trying to get hoses hooked up and connected. elise is there, but is busy with something else. i finally get the hose connected and throw it down, and it's flopping around because of the water pressure. it's too far to jump to get down, though, so i have to go outside and around.
i'm not sure at first how to get there, but once i start i realize i know the way through the various stalls used by farm animals (all of which are mysteriously absent; i make a mental note to deal with that next). brian's snakes are in the next room--i wonder if he forgot they were there. they make me nervous; i think they're hungry.
finally i make it into the room and put out the fire. someone else arrives right around then, and is surprised by the fire.

i'm with elise and margo at some party or something that is winding down. we're sort of bored and tired. margo says we should go downstairs and play with the computer and make a 'dmx' (or something), which basically means making a remix of some song using software that's designed to make that easy. i haven't used it and am not sure how exciting that will be, but elise sounds up to it (as long as we're all into it) so we go down to try.
i'm trying to remember how fast the processor is in the computer and for some reason can't remember how recently i had to replace it.
