i had a dream we were at a beach resort, or something, celebrating my birthday. and in the swimming pool there were two giant squid (kraken?) and i had to keep warning people to stay out of the pool and stay so far back from the edges because the tentacles had unbelievable reach. there was a long table with place markers on it with all the party attendee's names on them and just as i noticed "bill murray" was on one of the cards he appeared looking very disshevelled and uneasy. i sensed that he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to be at my party with the giant squid and so spent a long time trying to help him calm down and relax and stay, because, hey, who does't want to celebrate their birthday with bill murray? he kept saying he wanted to walk around the resort and find a girlfriend and i was worried if he did he wouldn't come back. so i kept distracting him and finally he said, "well then will you be my girlfriend? i need a girlfriend." and before i could tell him no he started to french kiss me, with misha right beside me! i kept half-pushing him away and saying, no, but he kept coming in for more kisses. finally i said, "bill, look, i'm married and right now, at least, we are not open to having other people romantically. but i do have a girlfriend for you...my mom!" he looked really disappointed and said, "your mom, huh?" and i said, "yeah, look. she's really cool, super sporty, funny and sweet. you'll love her!" and he looked all dejected and said, "yeah, i'm sure i will." but then he walked away and it was just me, misha and the giant squid left.

later on, or maybe in a different dream, i was under some kind of obligation to pen a really excllent poem in a certain time frame. but everything that came from my fingers was complete crap. i couldn't think of a single interesting image to describe.

pale glassy hair, spun sugar
bleach bone fingertip, sun monger

oceans for blood, moons for eyes
moss and grass, her single disguise.
