Snippits and Psychos and pricey crustaceans

Dreams are even more fun when you realize you are dreaming, and you start performing experiments. Specific example: I"m driving to work and my car is swerving all over the road (I often have panic daydreams about falling asleep and crashing on the way home from work) as I'm veering off the road, I say to myself this can't be happening, and I wake up. I return to sleep and I'm driving again, but I'm aware that I'm dreaming. They say that you can't die in a dream, or if you do you die for real. So I decide to test this. I let go of the wheel and floor the accelerator. My Esteem (that's my car. or is it a metaphor? HA!) zips down the road, but stays on course. This won't do. I turn the wheel and aim toward a parked car at full speed. Instants before the impact... my car dematerialized and I'm left standing next to the parked car. I utter a short prayer to Keanu (woah) and continue on my dream.

There was no ice cream, and no one said "Now that's what I call a sticky situation."

Lobster somehow doesn't taste quite as good when you pay $23 for it in a diner in Salem, than when you pay $11 for it in Rockport, sitting on wooden crates in the back of a lobster shack. Mmmm lobster.

May was as good/uncomfortable/freakish as people said it was. Thanks to Heatray for recommending the movie, and to Hellocatgirl and Fugbug for seconding it. I think the director had a crush on Anna Faris, because that was the most over the top lesbian-as-envisioned-by-a-guy character EVER. Also, Jeremy Sisto failed several common sense roles in that film. Note to all characters in the film. When the shy, spooky, stammering girl who won't look you in the eye becomes forward, calm, and stares you right in the eye, RUN. Especially if she's dragging a big cooler with her.

Banana nut pancakes taste as good at home as they do in the restaurant.

Lobster... $11 for it in Rockport, sitting on wooden crates in the back of a lobster shack.

I did that on Sunday. Something about the wooden crates out back had me dissecting my lobster in a very thorough and animalistic fashion.

May was as good/uncomfortable/freakish as people said it was.

At first, I thought you meant the month of May, and I thought, "yeah, ok".

the Month of May, now that I looked back on it, was really rocking! June is a damn fine month too. Life is pretty sweet right now, and just getting sweeter by the day!

I'm glad these months are treating you well :)

Banana nut pancakes with coconut butter rule.

I'll have to pick some up when I get into my new place. Very soon!

Mmm, lobsters, must go back to Rockport sometime, myself.
I'm not a fan of bananas, but I've found a sweet potato pancake recipe that I think I'll try for my first attempt to recreate the diner's little slices of heaven. I think I'll try them Sunday in an attempt to fortify myself for moving boxes around.

wow, sweet potato pancakes sound mighty tasty!

I have to struggle really hard to order anything else when I hit the diner. :) I just hope the magic can be stolen!
