  • I Don't Want You Under My Skin

    Finally, months after the Chocolate M-Pire dark chocolate M&Ms disappeared from the market, I saw new normal packaging Dark Chocolate M&Ms at the 7-11 near work. Instead of being labeled "M" they are labeled "M" with a smaller font "DARK" underneath.


    I had the strangest dream this morning. Normally I don't journal my dreams. Oh, sometimes I think about it, but to actually do it? That's very rare. Anyway, I was living in a world that was an amalgam of the Desire and Fashion House soap operas (despite never having actually seen an episode). I doubt it was factually accurate, but it had the actors from those shows playing characters who were trying to commit adultery all over. Meanwhile, while I avoided various advances, I came down with the strangest affliction: trilobite shapes crawling underneath my skin. It felt like a traveling bruise wherever they were. While I tried desperately to the attention of someone in a doctor's office, eventually the nurse came by and thought I was delusional, not seeing where the trilobites were. Luckily, the doctor finally came and knew of the affliction, having suffered it before. He suggested that I had been at my work, as that was the last place he had contracted it. The only way to get rid of them was to squeeze them out of the pours of the skin, just as they had made their way in when they were much smaller. It was pretty gross, squirting guts out of my pours like a fist-sized zit. Then I woke up to start another day, and I decided that was bizarre enough to journal. I hope you enjoyed it.

    Just to be fair, I should point out that their idea of "gamer" is computer and console gaming without board or card gaming:
