ornamentalillness: DREAM: John Kerry's weird bedroom and hurt kitty

IRL I had the radio on this morning and I can only assume they were discussing the John Kerry mangled words thing because it set a very strange stage for my dream.

I was in a house that seemed like mine, but I was actually taking a tour of John Kerry's house. I can't remember other people in the dream, but there was a narrator providing some history. I went upstairs to look at the bedroom, and I was surprised how plain and...unimproved...it was. It was just a bed, a small dresser and wooden floors...OLD wooden floors, with thick, unpolished boards painted a greyish blue. It looked like something out of the colonial era, and in fact, the "narrator" was saying how the senator liked the look of colonial New England which was why his house was so simple. Then later, I snuck upstairs to look at the bedroom again, leaving the rest of the tour. I was just baffled how someone with money would want such a simple, unmodern, almost creepy bedroom. As I was coming down the stairs, the banister seemed to change into a chrome art deco style. As I reached the foot of the stairs, there was a strange tub-like structure on the first floor in front of me with a cover propped up like the cover of a grande piano. My cat, Caligula, was sitting on the rim of this object. I looked into it and realized it was the ledge around the stairwell to the basement. I started to pet Caligula, but he fell into the stairwell. I was afraid he was hurt. Somehow he ran back up the stairs and then ran outside, but he walked crookedly. In fact, his whole body alginment seemed crooked. I followed him outside and petted him. He rolled over on his back and let me pet his belly. He seemed thinner than he is and his ribcage seemed to stick out a bit. I looked into his eyes and instead of glassy, they seemed frosted. I called for Stan over and over to come, but he called back that he'd be just a minute, and by the sound of his voice he seemed agitated, like he didn't want to come. I was worried about my kitty.

Isn't the John Kerry thing a nice distraction from issues that actually have meaning and deserve discussion?; 1:23 PM
Ann said...: Yeah, really. I mean, when I *first* heard it (taken out of the context of the rest of his speech), I thought "what the hell is he saying?" initially thinking it was a speech on "study hard, get a good job so you don't have to resort to signing up with the military". But then I thought "he can't be saying that, can he?" No, of course he wasn't. Heard in the full context, it was obvious it was aimed at Dubya, but naturally they always take these soundbites out of context. And I heard what the *original* speech was supposed to say and it was VERY obviously aimed at Dubya, except Kerry stupidly omitted some key words from the original speech...standup comic he is not.

But now that the ambiguity has been cleared up, do the media (or the Repugnantcans drop it? No!; 4:32 PM
Stan said...: I hope your dream doesn't mean bad things for our cat or the coming elections.

It's too bad people like John Kerry have to be so defective with communicating simple concepts like, 'the sitting president is too stupid to even try and understand the history and culture of the middle east'.

What a dangerous mess it is to have such an arrogant person who doesn't even attempt to understand problems before having a 'military' solution.; 6:33 PM
Erik said...: Have a feeling I have asked about this before and may give impression of beginning altzheimers, but are Caligula named after the play by A. Camus?; 5:34 AM
Ann said...: I'm not familiar with the play, but he's named after the ruthless Roman Ceasar, Caligula. The name means "little boots" and that is what the cat has...little white ones.; 8:09 AM
