Bleah.

Aside from the usual pain, exhaustion, near-blackouts, and lack of snuggles, there's another reason my mood wasn't so great today.

In the last dream I remember before waking up, I was staying at the house of some people in the country. It was near lunchtime (in the dream) and I was a wee bit peckish, so the two guys I was talking to suggested I look around in the fridge for something and help myself. I rummaged around a little, found some meat that looked promising, microwaved it, and began to eat.

As I ate, the guys were discussing how they handled death in their part of the country, what happens to the bodies of their loved ones. Specifically, they spoke of what they'd done with the body of their recently-deceased grandmother.

You know where the story goes after that, right?

So I woke up kinda sick to my stomach and have had trouble eating enough to stay upright. Bleah. Good thing I've been eating more like a vegetarian this week anyway. I ended up walking to the grocery store this evening, though, and buying some vegetarian spinach nuggets. They may not be the cheapest food I could buy, but at least they don't taste like Grandma (unless your Grandma is a green leafy vegetable).



In other news, if you've sent any e-mail to my ISP account, I'm sorry--that account hasn't been checked lately thanks to unpredictable connections and too much Taiwanese spam. Hopefully I'll get the messages within the next two days or so.

In other other news which isn't really news at all, the guys in Underworld may now wish to deny all involvement with their poppy albums from the '80s, but I still love 'em.

Have you ever heard Underworld's old songs from the '80s? The albums got seriously mixed reviews when they came out and the guys in the band would like you to believe that recording such music back then wasn't their choice. But I remember listening to a music program on the BBC once where "Stand Up" was the last song played, and the announcer following the show took a brief moment before giving the news headlines to say in a stereotypical BBC announcer voice, "I rather like that."

I dreamed a Monty Python sketch I've never seen? Huh. Maybe next week I'll dream of dead parrots or comfy chairs...

...or maybe you'll dream you're a lumberjack. :D

Hey, if you don't get to hear any of the old old Underworld through other means, I do have CDs you could hear sometime. If you're interested, that is. :-)
