animals doing things i cannot
Click to viewhow do they stay on?! it's remarkable. i think my9 news should be all over this.
kind of related, i have been having this recurring nightmare where i am standing on the subway platform and a bunch of rats come up to say hello. this is actually the happy part of the dream, because spotting rats in the subway is my favorite thing to do when i am waiting for a train, along with 1. angrily wondering where in the h my train is and 2. reading. so at first i am excited to pet the little rats. but then they start changing into huge, diseased, mean rats with matted fur and red eyes, like out of "1984." i keep tentatively petting them, because i don't know what else to do, but then they start biting my hands and arms. i try to fling them off, but their jaws are really strong. they start pulling me to the ground, and i realize they are going to eat me alive. so i freak out, grab a rat by its head and back legs, and snap its spine in half. i kill like two dozen rats this way before i wake up crying.
and i've had this dream about 7 times now! i really hate it.
on a, um, happier note, ratatouille is coming out soon! i'm pretty excited. i hope it's as good as i think it will be. i read in the times that the pixar animators spent hours and hours in fancy french restaurants doing research.
and what hard research that must have been! vacationing in paris, eating three-star meals...
