Last night I dreamed that I lost my job, Mr. Pugh broke up with me, and someone left the door open and I wasn't sure if the cats had gotten out. In the dream I was at my grandmother's house (she's dead, and this is not the first time recently that I've dreamed about her). I tried to get a job at a coffee shop but didn't feel like I was really ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamed that I was in a building talking to a two-spirited colleague when I suddenly notice that the place has a lot of spiders. I'm concerned that I won't be able to leave without running into them. I mention the spiders to A., who tells me the one to worry about is the black widow, and I follow him to a room where he points out a ( Read more... )

Set in Sheet Harbour, the small town where I grew up. A former classmate and I pull into the motel (popular lunch spot) which also has a garage for some reason (it doesn't in real life).  It's understood that we're in Sheet Harbour for some nefarious purpose.  A guy starts chatting us up about whether we're going to the Bowlathon (the town no ( Read more... )

DreamsLast night's dream seemed to be some sort of breakthrough.  I haven't felt so good since the time I skipped "the important test I inexplicably haven't studied for" and went to the pub ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamed I was hunting for a house.  the first place I looked was in the woods, and filled with bugs. The second place I looked at was actually completely underwater twice a day. The third place was some kind of small castle bring sold off by some guy with a royal title. It was like something out if Indiana Jones - all beige rock, sand ( Read more... )

Rolling blackouts were scheduled for our area last night, so we read books instead of watching television. However, based on the evidence of the alarm clock and the air conditioner, these blackouts never came ( Read more... )

The No Apologies event was freakin' awesome! All dances should be preceded by a 5-hour conference with plenty of discussion. What a great way to connect with people and make friends. This is how academics mate. I ran into folks I knew and met some folks I didn't know who were fun and interesting, and had a delicious sushi dinner. I learned a lot ( Read more... )

I had a nightmare that I was in a city that was being attacked by Godzilla.  He's really freaking big in person.  Also, while it's fun to watch him knock over a bridge in a film, it's waaaaay less fun to be on that bridge when he's doing it.  Thank Punch and Jewelee that I can fly, or  I'd have plummeted into the harbour.  I'd have either died from ( Read more... )

Unpleasant dreams.  My brain has been putting me in horrible scenarios a I sleep.  I'm making an effort to take control in them, but damn, does it suck.  I'm kinda stressed out.  I've paid my bills, but don't feel as if the weight of stress  has lifted any.  I guess I'll have to do lots of work on my academic paper and book review.  Maybe that will ( Read more... )

I ate breakfast yesterday.  That's where it all started to go wrong.  Maybe the tofu was bad, or the hash browns.  But I had cramps all day which culminated in severe sickness that hit suddenly at 7p.m. (while I was at work) and didn't let up until 11 p.m., when I crawled into bed.  On the up side, it may have helped break me of the habit of eating ( Read more... )
