Dreams on LSD
No, I have not taken to dropping acid before bedtime, though it could be an idea. I had a dream last night about driving down Lake Shore Drive. Well not so much driving as totally crashing, flipping the car, causing a huge accident, and my body flying through the windshield and crumpling in a heap on the side of the Drive. As far as I can tell, I experienced death in my dreams last night. It really hurt and it was just this sickening feeling of, “This is me ending.” It was pretty fucking horrible, and reason number 1,000,435 why I should quit my job. It makes me dream of death and bodies on the sides of the road. Twice.
In other news, I’m in the process of making the mistake of watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets again. Sure we can blame Chris Colombus’ horrible directing, but something also needs to be said of the editing, which leaves a good two seconds between actions and reactions. At least it’s consistent. Oh look, someone just fell off a broom. Let’s cut to a shot of the crowd, okay hold it, hold it… okay let them react. It seems to be keeping in style with the rest of the film, though. Chris has them pausing momentously before every “important” thing they say. Can’t wait to see RENT: Mimi: “Out Tonight! Tonight! Tonight! Tonight!” Pause for a minute and a half whilst Roger stares blankly in her vague direction… then, “Who do you think you are…?”
I almost cried at work today, but both the big bosses were gone, so I saved the tears for a time when they could be used as weapons.
