8 07 am pdt   [ dream(e)scapes ]

While in Europe, I had two dreams which I remember. One was about Desirée's birthday. I bought her sixteen cakes -- spending my entire month's salary -- and William Shatner helped me decorate them, but Des was not impressed and she didn't even bother to thank me. I was quite concerned with how I was going to afford groceries for the month. The second dream was about having dinner with a bunch of important and famous people. I only remember that Jodie Foster was sitting on my right, and the conversation was quite uncomfortable and kept dying out...

Last night's dream was something else entirely. My brother and I, and perhaps Matthew too, we toiling to walk up a nearly verticle mountain to a family firend's house. We were going to borrow his car for our vacation. We walked into the garage and gravity was somehow upsidedown. The family friend complained that were were late and had made him miss the football game he had wanted to watch on tv. That was quite in character for him.

The car was the true masterpiece of my dream. It was a station wagon and it was bright pink. It had wood panneling on the side and was also a convertible. I have trouble imagining this myself, but I know that's what it looked like.

We packed the car and I think Matthew was driving for a bit (and doing some excellent manuevering) but then my brother was driving and I fell asleep in the car. When I woke up, I found that my brother had driven us onto a ship. We hadn't secured passage or anything, so I asked my brother if we had food and he said no, but he had arranged for us to have a glass of orange juice each day so that we wouldn't get scurvey. We were on a three day ride to England, and I knew we couldn't get scurvey in that time; I also knew I'd be mighty hungry at the end of those three days.

two years ago today: I am bringing port for dessert.

one year ago today: The new bathmat I got, for what is now called "my bathroom", is bright red, and delights me much more than it probably should.
