j_cheney | Stomach bug...

Picked up a stomach bug somewhere, running fever and staying close to bathroom. Very tired, stomach empty.

OTOH, the bug must have given me a really strange dream that I suspect the plot bunny had little paws in....

OK, so I'm on an airliner coming in for a landing in Calgary. Evidently, the Calgary airport is next to the river, but for some reason, the flightpath takes up down between the skyscrapers of Calgary, many of which appear to be made of yellow, blue, or green plastic, very bright.

I'm wearing a black skirt with horizontally striped hose. Seated next to me is Radek from Stargate Atlantis, who proves to be a charming conversationalist. Across from me is

saycestsay, dressed in the same outfit with the striped hose.

When we get to Calgary, turns out that

saycestsay and I are rooming together, and she proceeds to show me her new tatoos which cover every inch of her legs. They are all Disney Characters, done in black ink only. (Also, she has a large bruise on her ankle.

Cut to sometime later, where I'm suddenly wearing a blue uniform...hey, it turns out that I'm military! (Once I did an interest inventory at Texas Tech which said I would make a good enlisted marine. Also a good farmer or research analyst. Go figure.)

We're investigating an unknown site (

saycestsay is military, too, and we're escorting the scientist.) There's a pool of goo on the floor with what appears to be river stones in it and I.....yeah, you should guess that I would....I touched it, whereupon the entire slime pool is subsumed into my body through that contact, upping my weight by several kilos.

The dream went on, wherein we all worked to figure out what the goo was trying to do...(along with Doctor Keller, don't know where she's been all this time)....yeah, it went on for a while, but didn't end conveniently...

I can only attribute the vividness of everything to the stomach bug.

I'll catch up on things tomorrow.
