Curry and more dreams...

[msfledermaus]

...I went to Peninsula with Matt and Erin last night for a little post-work curry. It's this Malaysian restaurant just down the street from the Jade mines. They make some very nice stuff; rich and complex. I gobbled down my green curry so rabidly I thought I was going to explode by the end.

And then of course bath and bed...but sleep just wasn't happening right away. First I kept getting telemarketer calls after 9. Thank the gods for caller id, but the phone ringing always annoys me. Then finally someone I wanted to talk to, which set me in a much better mood, but still not sleepy. Then of course, the triumphant return to the porch of the 24-Hour Party People. (They weren't as loud as last year; I think they've been told off a lot and they have a new neighbor right below them. I hope the neighbor whacks the ceiling with a broom and calls the landlord every time they act up.) Luckily the Queen of Stuff gave me some earplugs to try out and hey, presto! Quiet enough to sleep...though earplugs are weird feeling, sure enough. Between the noise, the earplugs and the curry my dreams got pretty interestingly horrible...

I dreamed my neighbors broke into my apartment to have a party and I was pissed off and scared I'd get into trouble. I dreamed about my alarm clock breaking and full of spiders, and I had to go to work. I dreamed of my new place and moving into it. Did I mention that apparently I've been dreaming of the new place on and off for years, before I even knew about it? It's true. Finally years and years of funny dreams are starting to snap into some kind of context. Sometimes people's minds go wandering into the subconscious...and when mine does, occasionally it brings something back. Usually just little snippets of places and events that my sleeping brain tries to make sense of...

Anyway, it's no wonder my brain is a jumble today. Maybe a day of work and then some better sleep without the super-early morning will fix me up a little...

I'll have to try that place. (Not Malaysia, the restaurant)...

That would be cool if you could draw some of your weird dreams. I think Target might be able to sell a line of alarm clocks that split open and spill out little arachnid robots. Or better yet, little flying bats that chirp in your face!!!!

Funny thing is, I've had that dream with that clock radio more than once...I think it's time to get a new one. I've had mine for 20 years, and the radio knob's broken off and everything...but I still use it.

How many times do you think Dali had the dream with the pocket watch with ants before he had to paint it?

Curry.....gosh, I want some now. I may have to go to the Thai Diner and scarf some. Saw the 28 Weeks Later trailer...talk about weird dreams. ^_^

Curry is food of the gods as far as I'm concerned:)

I thought 28 weeks might be awful, but it suuuuuure does look like it's shaping up to be a good movie...
