The one small snippet I remember was being told to assemble a bunch of random stuff for aforementioned mysterious lady. O_o;; )<br /><br />And next time I'm tempted to get grumpy about the non-functional sink in the downstairs bathroom, I need to remember <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/05/27/space.toilet.ap/index.html">this</a> because it could be much, much worse. urn:lj:insanejournal.com:atom1:ouri:5482 2008-03-20T19:20:34Z 2008-03-20T19:20:34Z I don't know what it is with me and strange dreams lately. <br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a>First dream: getting chased by a angry bear while camping. I may or may not have actually woken up from that one squawking; only the cats know for sure, 'cause my housemates can sleep through quite a bit of noise. &gt;,&gt;<br /><br />Second dream: reading a friend's story <i>in a professional publication</i>, and finding that a whole line of it had been replace by gibberish (of the sort created when somebody's cat walks across their computer keyboard) - and nobody at the magazine had caught it before the issue went to press. Oh, did I mention that this was the line that revealed the climax of the story's entire plot? &gt;,0<br /><br />Last night was graced with visions of large creatures with carapaces and far too many legs. No clue if they were bugs, crustaceans, or aliens of some kind. The dream-critters were freaky and unsettling, but they didn't act threatening, or even seem to notice me - I just had to deal with my own squick-reaction to them. (I'm blaming that one on the mix of cold medicines I took last night. *sweatdrop* )
