Another dream

[hummingwolf]

Here's another one I remember from last night:

Standing at the edge of a rough wooden balcony, looking down at the grassy plot of ground a little too far below. Buffy the Vampire Slayer comes into the scene, jumps off the balcony, then looks up and calls to her kid sister Dawn to follow. Dawn's voice is heard saying "I--I don't want to, Buffy, it's too high. Can't you bring me that ladder over there?"

Buffy, impatient, tells Dawn it's time she learns to do things on her own. Reluctantly, Dawn comes into view and jumps.

Camera follows Dawn down to the ground where she lands hard. So hard that at first it's difficult to tell what's being shown, but the view resolves into a Dawn who's been so compressed that all you see is her head, a leg about three inches long, and one very long, flat foot she's trying to get a precarious balance on. Dawn screams and whimpers, "Buffy! I can't do anything! I can't go anywhere! It hurts... it hurts..." Dawn looks up to where Buffy's face should be, loses her balance entirely and topples over backwards with her wide eyes staring upward.

What Dawn is staring at turns out not to be Buffy, but a demon with large, orangish feet covered with little horns. One horny foot comes down and stomps on Dawn, then prehensile toes fashion the goo-who-used-to-be-Dawn into the shape of a LifeSaver candy, complete with the raised lettering.

Commercial break. I woke up before the next scene.

Please don't analyze this. I don't want to know.

If I remember correctly, "We Said Hello Goodbye" was a bonus track on the CD version of No Jacket Required. It never was a single, so it never was a hit; but a couple of the local radio stations played it anyway. Great piano.

Don't worry about calling Phil a hack--you know he's been called worse! Besides, I'm the one who was desperate to get him out of my head earlier.

Oh, I've rated far too many songs for it to be likely that you'll hear any specific one today. You're more likely to hear something by the Carpenters, who I know you love so much. ;-)

it's funny -- karen carpenter's vocal range was warm and low, and i liked a lot of her singing, but they didn't always choose well. some of the songs are so *dumb*. not as dumb as toni tennille's songs, but still. "merry christmas darling" was on in a store the other day, and i remarked on what a shame it is the way she died. poor thing, it would've been ok if she'd just let herself gain a few pounds.
