This has been an exceptionally frustrating week. Low on interactions with humans, high on failure to accomplish what would seem to be fairly simple things. So apparently my brain's response to this is to have strange, vivid dreams with lots of my friends in it. And incredible, adorable, shrinking pigs.
I'm not wholly clear on the order, but here's the snippets I remember:
1) The party phase: I'm running around with my friend J. We go out drinking with the "Taco People" (my real-life name for her friends, due to our semi-regular weekly event) and then go back to my place. Mysteriously, she turns into LadyRay and there is much cuddling. We wake up, and she's J again, but it's 4:30AM and we're wide awake. I have to dissuade her from calling people up for breakfast for a little while, as I imagine they're probably just getting home from the bars. At some point in running around town I run into Hansel and BabyBlue, and there is much hugging and rejoicing.
2) The pig phase: At some point in all this I'm gifted with a couple pigs the size of chihuahuas. I take them swimming, and ask my brother to watch them for me, but at some point they wander off. The apparently-boy pig comes running back, now palm-sized, but the other one is still missing. A police officer finds me and returns the female pig to me in a tiny miniature toy, surrounded by her pencil-eraser-sized offspring. She looks so very happy!! She's shrunk to the size of a cocktail weenie now. After playing around with the toy that she's surrounded by, the boy shrinks to her size as well and gets lost. I woke up as I was checking Borders' lost and found ads. I was getting too worried that someone else would claim my diminutive porcine.
