And now, from the land of Sleep:
So I had a couple of dreams, lots of chasing around the traintracks and running around a previously undiscovered Hicktown. (hey maybe I should do up a journal with all my dream locations....) Anyway, coolest thing in the first dream: Clay Tornadoes and Vortex Lightning. Like the wind had whipped up so much red silt that it was being carried in the clouds and that made the resulting funnel clouds red, and the charge generated from friction between silt particles in the clouds plus the small funnel clouds made circular hoops of lightning that were fairly continuous. It was pretty badassed.
Apparently in my dreams I was still searching for chump change to put in my pocket like I had been the night before. I was like YEAH QUARTERS AND DIMES, MOTHERFUCKERS and my buddy picked up some too we were like right on we are the best train hobos. The train tracks were interesting... they were all encased in old wooden structures, like old barns or warehouses with light streaming through the cracks. I loved it in there ]8 The train was fucking awesome too, it had an Eastern-Style dragon wood carving on the front. Oh yeah, and two men made out of foam like muppets tried to steal my change. I kicked one and he went flyinf and uh. Lost his foam manhood. it went flying like ten feet from him and he was like D% FUCK and I was like yeah take that I win. And then I got on the train and left.
Second half of the dream I got off of the train and there was this ADORABLE frizzy-haired redhead not unlike Strawberry Shortcake, but she had raggedy tophat+chimneysweep clothes instead and they were pretty clean but like I said, kinda ragpunk'd. She had a metric fuckton of balloons tied to a bunch of metal teapots that were apparently SENTIENT and they were carrying things for her, and she talked to them like a little girl would talk to plushies at a teaparty. She attached more ballons, got in a basket and attached more ballons to it, and met someone in the sky for a floating teaparty. It was adorable ]: and she was very serious about it, not like cutesy little girl SQUEE TEAPARTY she was very businesslike and Victorian in her manner. Someday I will write a kidsbook about this I think.
