Odd Dream

[tinhuviel]

Last night, I dreamt that I was a new cast member on MadTV and I was in a skit with our guest star, Calista Flockhart. There were a couple of mild references to the fact that she's a stack of bones, but nothing really edgy. One of her lines in the skit was "hey, I had some finger food earlier today!" I don't know what I was supposed to say, but I improvised, retorting, "Calista, finger food is like little sandwiches, not biting your nails." The crowd went wild and it was one of our best shows ever.

After the show, everyone had the ratings sheet and cast list and were rubbing their elbows or noses on them. I asked what it was all about and Nicole Sullivan told me that it was a luck ritual they'd done for ever the longest. If a show went really well, everyone would rub their elbow or nose on the ratings sheet and the name of the cast the cast member who helped to pull it off. "This week, that would be you," she said, just as Michael McDonald plunged is face onto the cast list. And I said, "Oh just what I've always wanted: to have Michael McDonald rub himself on me."

MM gave me the hairy eyeball in a joking manner and we all laughed like hyenas.

What the hell?

I so wish I could think of lines like that when the opportunity arrives. Occationally I do and it's great, but usually I think of something witty days later. It's really annoying!

My interpretation of the dream is that you watch too much TV.

... Or, that your creativity and humour are just bursting to get out, after your recent shutdown.
