Last night I dreamt I was Robin to Jon Hamm's Bruce Wayne / Batman.

I think we spent far more time drinking absurdly expensive liquor than fighting crime.

It was pretty great.

Yesterday was a chicken-y sort of day.  Housemate N. thawed out an anonymous bag of chicken breasts sitting in our freezer and then made an enormous batch of fried chicken.  Later that evening I went to a parental dinner with Sar-bot and others at a chicken wings restaurant.

These dreams are so unsettling to my unconscious self that I find myself waking up around 4 am in order to escape them. And then I have difficultly falling back to sleep. This sucks. It's like a backwards ( Read more... )
