mlle ghoul's fairy tales from the shadows

Holga: Ford Lake (by Matt Callow)

Dreamed that I was trying to see a band play, but in order to do that, I had to cross a murky body of liquid.  Upon closer inspection I was disgusted to see that it was, in fact, a pond of poop/magma that I would have to navigate, in a little rowboat with one paddle.  Whoever had created this had liberally sprinkled it with confetti, to make it “fun”.

Luckily, I found a back entrance and did not have to worry about falling in to the glittering sludge.  Upon my arrival, I was given a bowl of lentil-sausage soup.  I sat down and was delighted to see it was more sausage than lentil.  

Poop and soup.  Those are my dreams.

Dreamed my companion and I were staying with an odd host family in the French countryside.  They all dressed rather like…forest elves I guess, but they seemed like regular working class folks.

I came down for coffee one morning and said,while  testing out my rusty French, “il est plus jaune que moi”.  I was trying to say “he is smarter than me”.  Nope. Not even close.
