Or rather, I gave up. It is just not possible for me to go grocery shopping these days and *not* buy a rotissery chicken. Mmmm, delicious savoury garlic goodness!

I mostly bought produce and bath stuff, and some assorted bits and bobs (and yes I *did* get peanut Butter cups, and they are even reeces, and now you'll have to wait until I have a chance to mail them, ha!), but my bill was still about, oh 108$. *sigh* Well, it will last me more than two weeks, so that is less than 10$/day, right? That's how it works?

I bought green curry paste and coconut milk. I want to see if I can make Thai green curry, because it is delicious. However, I don't think I actually have enough chicken. I'll finagle something, I guess :o Extra veggies? I can use bts from the rotissery chicken, maybe?

Anyway, I forgot to mention the cool dream I was having this morning. It was like a LARP, only it was a performance. So there was a plot, and people running the plot, but it was actuakly a lot like an improv show with a plot. mousme was in it. She did a cool tap routine. Shouldn't that have been line dancing there, brain? vess was in it. He was playing someone that was kind of a cross between Loch (judgey) and Julian Kodar(political/plotty). I remember helping loosely script out what the scene was supposed to be before hand. He had to talk to the leader/queen (who was Mousme in this scene, but I had played her before as well) about logistics and sheep or something (it made no sense), only someone else had started a plot where she was being driven mad (thus the tap routine). There was also a Jester in a bunny suit wearing a plastic apron/bib thing. I think it had something to do with the crazyness ;p In any case Terry (dressed.... kind of like Snape now that I think of it!) waited patiently for the queen to acknowledge him, and then turned to the audience as an aside and said "Now I get to be a *FUCK*!" he then cast some kind of mind control on her, ostensibly so they could discuss the pressing sheep issue without interference from the crazy, but I'm sure he used it for other things as well.

There was an earlier scene, after I'd been queen for something I don't remember (something that involved weird weapons and me waving them around), and right after it, I got caught behind the curtain, so the people in the next scene told me to just make a quick costume alteration and play with them, so I did. I was afraid the audience would recognize me (as an actress), though, and get confused. I was supposed to be a peasant girl who was being recruited by some insurgents, I was kind of stand-offish, because I thought it was a silly plot. The queen as she was originally writtern (without the madness and the weapon waving) was actually quite a responsible ruler. Anyway, the army, or some other militrary force came to stamp out the insurgents, and I decided to have my character die. It was fun. She couldn't keep up with everyone else as they fled! But then I turned into a Zombie! It was unexpected, but the make-up change was instantaneous. We just had to pause for the ST to come and give us stats. Of course, I and one fellow zombie were too far away to harass any of the PCs, so we just beat up each other for our own, and the audience's, amusement. I think some of Hazel's Aber friends were in there too... Troll Chris and Fern? It was amusing for me, but try as I might, I couldn't get back to it after I woke up the first time this morning.

Maybe I'll go have a little nap now, hmm...
