Somewhere buried deep on the boards is the original random thoughts thread, but I'm too lazy to go looking for it.



Last night I dreamed a lobster and a crab were chasing me around my sister's living room. I climbed up on the furniture trying to get away, but they climbed right up after me, pinching my feet and heels. Fortunately, a giant brown spider appeared and ate the lobster and crab. And I petted the spider and it lived in the front hallway from then on.

I can only assume that being in Maine, where there are images of lobsters EVERYWHERE brought on this dream.
