Fighting Zombies With Ned and Chuck

I dreamed last night of a few things. I dreamed Jason L. had become an entrepreneur in Moscow, Idaho, running a moving company there with vans with cartoonish logos on them. I dreamed I visited Tracy and Brian at their home on Juniper Street while escaping from zombies, and they had three kids but lost two of them while I was there, so we went to the Olive Garden on Juniper, where I asked for an application because it was so close to home I was sure I'd be able to get to work on time regularly.

But the highlight was the whole zombie thing I mentioned. Night had fallen, and I was out walking through my old neighborhood with my friends, Ned and "Chuck" (Charlotte) from Pushing Daisies, and it got really creepy, and any yard enclosure was home to zombies, and we ran around defeating zombies and trying to escape the haunted neighborhood. The big piles of snow that acted like tractor beams were no help. We'd try to run away, but the snow piles tried to suck us in. One particularly nasty one outside the duplex on Tamarack by the intersection with Juniper was so strong, we just ran in place as the pile elongated while trying to draw us in and grew trying to engulf us as zombies appeared from the corner of the yard. Don't worry--we got away. Somehow, it was all a big, fun game. Ned and Chuck make life fun.

I wonder about your psyche . . .

Strange psyche aside, I rather like the fact that you share your dreams . . . they are quite entertaining. As for Ned and Chuck, I watched someone's Pushing Daisies video. It must be an acquired taste :-/

Pushing Daisies MIGHT be an acquired taste...but the first episode I saw (the one where Chuck's aunt has a trippy vision of a mermaid), I thought, "That was really weird...but I really want to see more." I was fascinated. When I started really watching, I was hooked immediately. I love the writing, the premise, the cinematography, the acting, the characters, the wit, the sort of innocently dark humor...love it. Might just not be for everyone. :-)

Adam, I miss it too. I'm still mourning the loss. ...oh, and welcome? :-)

Thanks! I hope you don't mind if I add your blog to my list-of-things-to-do-when-I-should-be-working list. P.S. Did you see that they are going to air the final 3 PD episodes starting this Saturday?

I heard they were considering airing them before the DVD release, but I hadn't heard they were doing it already. Thanks for the heads up! Now I need to have a Pushing Daisies party this weekend.
