In Lieu of Nada

[handful_ofdust]

Has a very weird dream in which I was touring the Royal Ontario Museum with Steve and my friend Nancy Baker. Parts of it were familiar, while others seemed to have been hooked together with the Planetarium (now up and running again, but showing things like "Asgard and the Nine Realms: The Tree-Shaped Universe"), an art museum full of weird installations and some sort of symphony hall. You had to go outside to reach at least one of these places, crossing a bridge so high/long it even gave Steve vertigo, and the articulated skeletons of ichthyosaurs and pteranodons hanging from the Museum's ceiling had been rigged with animatronics that made them look like they were flapping or swimming above us. "That's cool, but really gross," I told Steve, who agreed. Nancy then took me upstairs along some tiny little corridor at the end of which was a secret door in the wall which opened when she pressed it, showing us the symphony hall's interior. A concert performance was about to start. "I wonder how long we could stand here listening before they noticed," she said. "We should probably go back," I replied, so we did, claiming we'd gone looking for the bathroom. "That's the other way," our tour guide said, haughtily, and I finally noticed he was Tom Hiddleston as Loki.
