For Reals, This Was the Dream I Had Last Night

I have some pretty effed-up dreams. Mostly because they’re so lifelike that it takes me a few minutes after waking up to realize they weren’t real. Like, I could be eating breakfast by the time I realize I’m not actually pregnant with John Krasinki’s baby. And it freaks me out.

So imagine my horror at the doozy I wound up with last night:

So I’m innocently riding the L train in Chicago with Kanye West (obviously) when some dude who looks like Lourdes Ciccone’s father takes a silver wine opener (butterfly style, not the jackknife kind) to Kanye’s ear and threatens his life. There’s no explanation as to what this dude is so upset about, Kanye refuses to relent and the Madonna’s baby-daddy look-alike screws that wine opener right into Kanye’s head, through his brain, and kills him dead. Then, he threatens to kill my entire family if I tell anyone, because apparently out of the 500 people on the L train, I’m the only one that sees this.

Others say it may signify the end of time. But I’m thinking these animals just knew something that we don’t. Metaphorically, they’re “running out of the forest” before we do.

Straight Blizzard-ing

All I've looked at today.

I’ve learned about myself today that I will never be a hermit/shut-in. The East Coast is currently covered in white and I’ve been held captive in my parents’ house watching the snow come down all. day. long.

So far today I’ve watched the Russell Crowe version of Robin Hood, drank an entire pot of coffee, ran on the treadmill, watched two episodes of Top Chef and three episodes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, cleaned my room, ate my weight in leftover macaroni and cheese, read 100 pages in my biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine and made half a batch of cookies that got abandoned when I lost interest. It’s almost as if I wished I was going to work tomorrow. And no one will play gin rummy with me.
