I got chocolates from my ex-boss for Xmas. I went to work today to pick them up. They were called "Belgian harvest", which means it's nougaty chocolates shaped as seahorses, prawn, and various other marine life-forms. It kind of grossed me out a bit. Not the gift in itself, that was very kind and I'm duly grateful and so on. But like... Chocolates shaped as prawn? Almost as gross as prawn cocktail-flavoured crisps. I mean, come on, prawns are food. You eat them as food. For dinner, for starters, for a little snack, on your sandwhiches for tea or whatever. Don't get them confused with sweets or crisps. They're not sweety or crispy things. They're pink ugly things with eyes. I want my sweets to be uhm... sweetshaped. Plus I dislike the word "harvest". Belgium I have no opinion on.
Last night I had the following dream; My mother and I went to someone's house, although it was like a cross between a house and a public coffeeplace. We were sitting there with a married couple talking about the weather, sending the hostess/waitress out to the balcony to check the status of the barometer. Then the man started talking about his fishtank and how he kept shark in it, because "shark are terrific fish". I absolutely adore that statement; "shark are terrific fish". I would never ever refer to anything being "terrific", which makes the dream so much more interesting.
