  • The Mentalist. Har har har...

    So I had a dream. It was probably the most entertaining dream I've had in a long while.

    I just need to note that nothing is what it seems, okay. Okay?

    My dream begins long before my first memorable moment. Simon Baker and I are filming a movie reminiscent of some 70's James Bond-like film that stars Robert Redford. Simon taking the place of Robert Redford even though this is certainly NOT a remake... just... similar. I dunno.

    The movie is quite, um, sexy. After filming a particularly steamy scene (trust me, the body can get quite confused), despite the stop and go and ups and downs of the "moment", Simon and I were in dire needs of cold showers. He, in my dream, is known to be quite the womanizer. Myself, my persona is as I am, much committed in a monogamous relationship to the same man for ages upon ages.

    Before heading off to our respective rooms in the hotel, Simon puts a bit of the charm on and suggests we cool off together. [insert porn music here] I refuse, politely and coquettishly as I do. Somehow my hotel suite is shared with my brother-in-law. In hindsight, I think I hired him as my body guard. *shrugs* Whatever. B and I discussed the similarities of my character's relationship with Simon in the movie is mirroring real-life with his current lover and yadda yadda yadda. Until I had a knock on my door.

    I couldn't tell you what transpired here, but B was kicked out of the suite and Simon and I were locked in quite the, ah, embrace. To save you all from the details (don't groan), I can tell you that this became a regular occurrence between Simon and I throughout the filming of the movie. To me, it was just sex. Simple as that. A human response. To him- little did I know- he subconsciously really enjoyed my company and wanted to spend every waking moment in passion's embrace with me.

    Heh heh heh. I'z awesum.

    Soon, B was given Simon's suite because, well, Simon pretty much wanted to serve me hand and foot- breakfast, more specifically. I remember his amazing techniques with pancake flipping!

    One day, after a particularly emotional scene, Simon confessed to me that he feels utterly guilty for trying to woo me away from my husband, to which I replied "think nothing of it, my heart and my body are two different things". He looked a little sad, but unscathed. His reputation, he figured correctly, had defined this relationship as a physical one.

    "I have thrown out my book (his "black book *wink wink*) and I can't even watch porn anymore!" Simon was getting to be a little over-emotional at this point, nearly in a frenzy of laughing and crying. "The only time I can even think of sex- no enjoying sex, is with you. When I'm with you."

    In good-old Dawna fashion, I logic it out and console him. "You are getting too deep into your character."

    He shakes his head.

    The dream ends.

  • Not a Dream

    Okay, I feel the need to blog this:

    Today I am going to try and, ah, feed my hair.

    My recipe:

    2 eggs (protein)
    1/2 cup olive oil approx. (moisture)
    2 tsp honey

    (For those of you who are wanting to say "but I've head mayonnaise is the most awesome thing for your hair", did you know that you can make home-made mayo using 1 egg yolk and slowly whip in olive oil and flavour it with some mustard and salt & pepper? So use the eggs and oil as a separate instead of adding in all the extra guck that you may get in store-bought mayo.)

    • Separate eggs.
    • Whip egg whites into a meringue until the peaks are stiff. Put meringue into fridge for now. I would suggest using a mixer or something to do all this. Whipping by hand is a bit of a learned skill, so unless this is old hat for you- break out the mixer.
    • Now you are going to make a mayo. Yayz! Whip the egg yolks until they are about twice their original volume and then slowly add the olive oil. And by slowly, I mean pour in a thin stream along the side of the bowl. If it looks like the oil isn't melding with the egg- stop pouring in the oil until it is fully emulsified and then continue. You'll know you're done pouring in oil once it looks like the mayo can't take any more oil.
    • Mix the honey into the mayo.
    • Fold the mayo into the meringue.
    • Now you probably have LOADS of this stuff, but I would absolutely suggest to use it all.
    • Wash hair in tepid water with moisturizing shampoo for dry/damaged hair (I'm using Tresemme, but normally I'd suggest Redken).
    • Towel dry hair by squeezing and dabbing- no RUBBING.
    • Apply mixture into clean, non-conditioned hair.
    • Leave on for 1 hour.Cover your head in a towel so the mixture doesn't a) drip, and b) rub off onto anything (just in case)
    • Rinse out and air dry.
    • Your hair will smell like pancake batter.
    • Repeat once a week.

    We'll see how it goes. Goodness knows that my hair can't get any worse. She is FRIED. Turns out that the bleaching didn't do it, but dying it red is what fried it after all  . :(

  • Whoops!

    I had a very interesting dream last night that I was revisiting in my head while having a cigarette not long before posting this. This dream was wonderfully vivid and full of detail and left me with a guilty feeling- a dream I knew that would be significant.

    Significant until I realized what it means.

    It is obvious, to me, what it means. Something I am not particularly proud of, a small "benefit", you could say, of a friendship that I have, has come to light in my dream. In my dream however, the benefit weighed more than the friendship and there is no way that I would like to broadcast it. Of course, I will NOT ignore the benefit because it is half the reason I wish to keep in contact with this friend.

    It is a part of me of which I am not so proud, but I have to say that I have rarely had an acquaintance that I can actually use. I didn't realize it until I had the dream. What strikes me more is that I am quite willing to call her a friend and that I feel so bad to draw a benefit from the relationship.

    Cool, eh?

    Ya know what, though? I doubt that she minds.

     

    PS: Silly me, I didn't think it could be interpreted as sexual. Not, it isn't sexual. It is business.

  • Mommy Dearest.

    I had a memorable dream! Break out the confetti!

    ~~My mother and I are grocery shopping. Lilith is sitting in the kid's part of the cart, my mother is pushing the cart, and I am putting things into it. Our budget is small. My choices are scrutinized extensively and put into the cart with great prejudice.

    During the trip through the aisles, my mother and I are talking about Hallowe'en coming up and my desire to have a nice costume. All the girls in the neighbourhood (in my dream) will be wearing wonderfully elaborate pirate-girl/old west brothel costumes and I would like to have a costume of the same essence. My mother reminds me of our meager funds and suggests that I am creative enough to make my own awesome costume that will not only rival, but surpass all the others. Moms! Yeesh. In my mind's eye, I began to put together a costume with all the materials and things that I have at home and goodness knows that I come short of having any semblance of a decent costume.

    "Theirs are all custom and tailor made", I whined. How I would LOVE to have anything custom made for me- but money is never there.

    We make our way to the cash and it turns out that there's still too many goods in the cart for our budget. I visually remember taking out the romaine lettuce saying "guess we don't need salad...". Conversation, as my mom pulls out a couple of twenties, turn to how this grocery store is ungodly expensive and that you would spend $200 at another store and have your cart over-flowing with groceries.

    I distinctly remember my mom holding onto $40 with her elbows on the conveyor belt and her head bowed low between her forarms. Even though it was only $40, it was understood to be $200, and we only picked up a bare minimum of things.~~



    Enjoy!
