Brittany Murphy & Pee Wee Herman grappled with each other in a honey-drenched alley.

Anaïs Nin & i gadded about a hotel room in our robes. she donned some gray silky lingerie & wanted me to do the same & to expose ourselves through the grand window onto some quiet tree-filled neighborhood, but i couldn't find any lingerie to put on. she disappeared & hundreds upon hundreds of people dressed as if for a red carpet descended upon the ( Read more... )

pizza ovens at the tops of elevators. a woman gets angry & steals a man's pizza from another elevator. i walk around random bookshelves, collecting books illustrated by Edward Gorey hidden among the shelves. the stack in my arms grows high enough to touch my chin. i start to put some back. i find a pair of brown thigh-highs socks with strings ( Read more... )

a few nights ago i had a dream of dolls' heads violently swirling in cake icing & pencils that scratched out images of cats in outer space. there was more to the dream, but it's hard to remember. lots of art, motifs lifted from Pop Surrealism, a female artist ranting about the distortion of her message by copycat artists, lots of female artists ( Read more... )

i was at an outdoor Bruins/Habs game on an ice rink with kitchen islands that the hockey players skated around. i held onto marionette strings attached to the goalie Carey Price; they got tangled & prevented him from making a save. i was also secretly a Bruins fan, although i'm not in real life (go Kings go!). after the game, i figure-skated around ( Read more... )

i dreamed of a night-time ride aboard a schoolbus driven by one of the student passengers, who took us to a grocery store to in search of ice cream that wasn't there. on the way home, an explosion startled us. a Russian jewelry store with large white columns in front of the building was dripping debris. the explosion had sliced through the columns.

i was either chasing or being chased by a cruel prince whose features i couldn't remember other than that he was dressed as a yellow acrobat & wearing a giant metal cone or funnel. a naked lady threw her bare chest at him & begged him for assurances of his love, which he gave, along with an impossible embrace through the cone/funnel. he swung on a ( Read more... )

the following is a pastiche of reviews of a show i dearly wanted to see on my birthday a few years ago.
