Day 30
"Frued postulated that dreams are essentially the recombined elements of things that had effected us during the day. Today, think very hard about these three things and see if they crop up in your dreams tonight."
What are the three things? An airplane, a hedgehog, and a midget.
I spent most of chemistry class thinking about these things, and then decided to really get these things into my head by google-imaging them. Speaking of googleing things, I learned that "googlar" means "to google" in spanish class today.
Anyways, I looked intently at pictures of airplanes and midgets for a while, then moved onto hedgehogs. I have two things to say about hedgehogs. First of all, they are very cute. Second of all, it seems that people are rather obsessed with making "hedgehog cakes". It's the first suggestion it gives me when I type in "hedgehog." I thought that this could probably mean one of a few things. The obvious meaning would be a cake made of hedgehogs, however I'm not quite sure why several million people would search for images of this. Other than that, I suppose people could take after the medieval ages and put a live hedgehog (rather than a bird) inside a cake, only to have it pop out for the king's entertainment, though that's probably against some health code. The only remaining option (that I could think of) is that people make cakes intended to look like hedgehogs. A cake shaped like a hedgehog is kind of like a combination between calculus and Inception. The first because I don't understand it, and the second because there is no way I would ever come up with the original idea to make it.
I'm not sure how my dreams will go tonight, but I'll be sure to let you know tomorrow.
Why I Do Such Things
As the sameness of my work and environment closed in on my mind and soul, feeding the now formidable flames of my cynicism and disaffection, I knew something had to be done. Something life-changing. The answer? This Book Will Change Your Life. Written by the intentionally obscure authors Ben and Henrik, this book is a 365 step guide to truly living. Each day I am assigned a task from this book- anything from trying a new fruit to bailing a stranger out of jail, or navigating an entire day without the sense of touch. I will hand deliver my emails for a day, pick up a hitch-hiker, get into a fight, and learn ballet. Hellen Keller says "Life is a daring adventure, or nothing." I plan to make it the former...

Do you remember that you have a second cousin who's a hedgehog?
ReplyDeleteLove the images of hedgehog cakes! I wonder how I could make a raw one...
I find your comment rather baffling. I'm not sure how that's genetically possible. However, seeing as today is day 31, "Look out for the paranormal" day, I will accept this as simply another unexplainable paranormal occurrence.
