THAT DAY

I was named the executor of my mom's estate. It's turned out to be complex. I spent today learning about estate expenses, and trying to sort ours into the slots on the tax forms...

I do take breaks--even work on a song: Keep it Simple, Stupid. Should I transpose it so it's easier to sing? But playing is harder for me than singing, so maybe I should leave it--the original key was as easy on my fingers as I could make it.

In the evening, watch Megamind. Not wildly original, but funny. How's this for a movie review: "More fun than doing taxes."

THAT NIGHT

I massage the red-orange oil into my smooth-shaven skin-- sleekly unreal, for I'm digital. In Meatland, I'd never build up all this muscle! Red is just initial hue in a colorcode chakra tour. They promised I'd be sexy. Smear my rigid abs and bland crotch-dome (no cock: for I'm a kid-friendly cart oon goon) red. But that looks wrong, this pelvic blush: red's for the heart! So I midriff wash, and then I smush red goo onto sternum and breast. It isn't paint--translucent stain that won't really take until rubbed in. Puffy pecs, pneumatic chest-- so fake! Gotta wash my hands again or I'll Macbeth the guilty walls. Next the oil of orange, then yellow, green, blue. Damn goo. Better pay off in sex.

NOTES IN THE MORNING

• Computer-rendered body: Megamind's 3D animation. Dream-me is a bit like his beefy, jerky rival!
• Red can stain the house: I washed a copper pot that shed weird reddish sootflakes. Smeared my hands, they stained the fridge handle...
• Chakras, want to be sexier: Megamind's insecurity & pretenses?
• Chakras form a spectrum: hues traditionally associated with chakras go from red at the pelvic floor up through orange yellow green blue white and purple (varying a bit in the high chakras, but all models I know start at red). So dreaming I paint my pelvis red is actually right; the heart chakra's not red. Foundation first, heart later?
• First chakra: basic security, health, survival. Does it mean... the estate work? I'm eager to move on to higher issues than boring old bean-counting, but it has to be done right for the financial security of me, my sisters and nieces.
• ACTION: rub A&D into skin? Not red but a healing oil. But the dream hints I need a series of healing interventions--step by step, in order! Health & survival come first--before pleasure, fun, love, ambition, creativity, spirituality, ANYTHING! Lay the foundation first.
