Big Beautiful Berlin in the Sky

Driving in a car with Meredith Scheff. Swiftly and unexpectedly, a very large, very artful and futuristic airliner streaks across the overcast sky from bottom left to top right. It’s a great green and white monstrosity of ostentation, made to look like several Berlin row houses, streamlined uncannily, an old oceanliner-style smokestack near the rear, a quiet yet furiously powerful engine glowing smoothly among curvaceously flow-y tailfins. Such a sight! Meredith wasn’t looking up and I excitedly chanted her name, but I can’t say if she actually saw the damn thing.

Other dreams from the night explored a forgotten side of Berlin’s history, when the north and south sides split along religious lines with one area being called Lodz — like the Polish city or the character in Carnivale.

The Naked Hummingbird

A weird naked little hummingbird that looked like a shaved Gummy Bear flits above our bed, suddenly dropping on us in mid-flight. Yeah, it's weird I wanted to write this down. It was visceral, though, not a little odd, and strangely charming.

Snippets from The Chicago Underground

Underground tour of the city of Chicago. Walking on rickety crumbling floorboards, they sag enough to reveal the “Big Foot” sculpture, a sculpture… of a large human foot.

My outfit change for the next day is hidden in a suitcase.

While being split into two groups by my friend Autumn for an assignment, I’m late and miss the full instructions or the chance to pick. The place is like a goth/urbex version of the city of Ambergris.

An athletic street-urchin-type kid falls over the rusty railings onto subway tracks, hanging on for dear life while his friends are somewhat lethargic and blasé (how often does this happen?).

Finding a small creature and offering it food, somehow I mistake a vegetable for its face.
