Dream Journal: Amazing Race over a Waterfall

Wow an actual dream journal entry!!!

Anyways, Ngoc, my sister, my cousin Gale, and I are in the Amazing Race. A group of four Korean girls are racing against us. The first leg goes through a water obstacle course. Of course I can't swim so I'm thinking we lost already. We start in waist deep water. There is a strange upraised tile pattern on the bottom of the river bed. They hurt the bottom of my feet. After going 30 feet into the course, we reach the first challenge. Apparently it is a waterfall of underdeterminate height. Nobody is willing to take the plunge so that gives me hope that everyone will have to be disqualified and we will have to go on an alternate challenge. However one of the other girls gets sucked by the current and goes over the edge. She makes it ok though and yells out to her team partners that it is safe to go. Soon everybody is preparing the make the big drop. As I get to the edge the water suddenly gets deeper, so deeper in fact that it goes above my head. I look over the edge of the waterfall and find it is 50 feet high! I panic but it is too late. I go over the edge head first.

[This is an amalgamation of my watching the Amazing Race last week, kayaking on the Charles River, and the fact that while I was sleeping, my foot was hitting the footboard on my bed (to explain the tiles on the floor)

My Oscar Bid

We went to Ngoc's company open house and found ourselves talking to a pilot of the JSF. Above is a photo of the event. Can you tell if I'm genuinely interested in what the pilot was saying or that I'm just pretending. 500 points to whoever guesses correctly.

Boston ELDP Training

I'm in Boston right now in a week long training session. This is a really nice state and I'll be able to see more of it when the session is over tomorrow. There seems to be a lake or pond everywhere we turn. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the mosquitoes here are so large (and carry West Nile or EEE with them).

Ok, another weird flash game here. These quirky games with no narration (or seeming purpose) are growing on me.

Dream Journal: Toe turned into a black mushroom

I'm carrying something heavy in my hand and accidentally drop it on my foot. I look down and see that the nail on my right big toe is starting to turn black. I tentatively lift the nail up to see how bad the damage is and the nail falls right off. I see a black growth where my nail used to be and it begins to get bigger. Eventually a rather large black mushroom grows out of my foot. I touch the mushroom and it falls right over.

I stubbed my foot on the weekend and thought the nail would turn black the next day (it didn't). A couple of weeks ago I was reading about morel mushroom hunting in Alaska. That or my foot is totally infected by fungus which is also a likely possibility.
