3 strange dreams and 1 excellent chicken pie

Oct 04, 2009 12:39

Apparently, my sleeping brain has decided it would rather just watch tv; all three of these dreams are tv-themed in some respect. And it's getting harder and harder for me to say upon waking where *I* was in my dreams. In these dreams, for example, I was pretty much an observer, not a participant. But when I try to go back through them, I have ( Read more... )

I recently used phyllo for the first time and was unimpressed. the taste isn't good and it's too crunchy for me.

Did you butter yours first? This recipe didn't call for much phyllo - just a few sheets - and it got crispy on top but stayed tender underneath, because it cooked in the mixture of juices beneath. I really liked the contrast in textures.

I suppose it also took on the flavors of the rest of the food. I wonder what it would taste like more plain? (Perhaps we shall see, I still have more in the fridge, so I may look for ways to use it up!)

I am so astonished at your ability to remember THREE dreams at this level of detail. I hardly ever remember one like this! And they all sound pretty fascinating. I don't watch Heroes anymore, but I'd still like Peter and Hiro to visit my subconscious.

watching the curly-haired guy sing and dance just does things to me. Guh!

What a funny thing! I have a mild crush on Finn, not Will. I put this down to: 1) Hollywood, for confusing us with their characters who are totally different ages than the actors, and 2) the weirdness of our current age, in being too old for students and too young for parents, if that makes sense as a vague generalization.

Finn is adorable - it about broke my heart that time he fell on Will's shoulder, bawling; the show normally seems to skim over any emotional realities like that - but his behavior in the most recent episode was not-cute to the point of disturbing! (The writers', not the actor's fault, of course...) And he ends up landing firmly in kiss-on-the-forehead-maternal-instinct categories for me.

Though he probably is our age, LOL.

I used to remember only a couple of interesting dreams per year. But since starting to write them down I still forget a lot, but I go through phases where I remember more. I wonder if it has more to do with sleep cycles or if I've actually improved my ability to remember by writing them down?

OMG, love that icon ♥

Finn definitely does some unsavory stuff. So does Will. They don't have any characters on the show whose decisions I can consistently root for, really. Part of the reason I'm so ambivalent about it.

Looked it up: Finn is 27, Will is 31, LOL.

Exactly. I knew from the beginning that I'd be mad about the show pulling for Will to cheat on his wife, but Finn's a cheater too now, and the show wants us to think of him as a *victim* because his girlfriend won't sex him! Glee just plain has bad moral judgment. (And quite possibly hates women. Even the women it likes...)

So I watch mainly for the music and the gangliness and Emma's wardrobe. Oh, and Sue. Who is awful but still makes me hoot with laughter. (Did you know she plays Julia Child's sister in Julie/Julia? Meryl Streep is out of control fabulous in that, but then the scenes where her sister shows up and there are two of them? FUHGEDDABOUTIT!)

IN OTHER NEWS: YAY, IF WE RESCUE THEM FROM THEIR MORALLY BANKRUPT SHOW, WE CAN DATE THEM BOTH! And you can have the younger and less ganglier one. Because you are two weeks younger.
