Avoiding Medusa's Gaze #dream 220

I’ve come over to see a friend. I think I’ve been invited in but the rest of the family don’t seem to be very welcoming, though they’ve left the door unlocked because I’m expected. I’ve taken the initiative to make my own cup of tea, but this is solely because I’ve been there too many times before and have often ended up making drinks for the entire family while my friend has asked me to make her one. I headed upstairs with two mugs of tea and knocked on my friend’s door. I’m told to come inside, where her family surrounds her while she’s in bed. Her sister hands me a large brown envelope and tells me that it’s a draft copy of a court injunction. Apparently I’m not welcome here any more because I’m too intrusive. I just look at my friend for an explanation who refuses to meet my gaze.

Not what it's cracked up to be #devilsdaughter 27

Picking things up with two giant blimps on your chest can be a bit difficult, especially when you need two hands to hold them. Now she knew how turtles felt. She would have liked to use her assets as pinchers but Luke was down there. However, they weren’t the only pair of assets that she possessed. It would be a bit difficult as the gap was smaller than  the front. But perhaps she could toss the camber. Leaning forward, she used her feet to scoop up the bench and used a yoga pose to place it on her rear. Then she attempted a backwards thrust to launch the bench through the window, thrusting her breasts as low as she dared to counteract the weight without touching the floor. Unfortunately, she thrusted a bit too hard, which sent her flying towards the wall where the bench shattered into pieces followed by a large crack which shook the whole building.

The Waiting Room

It’s the land of the rejected. It’s for those who have yet to configure their systems to be compatible with others. We don’t want them to upset the harmony of everyone else. Usually it’s the audio that’s the problem and you have to send them away to sort it out in a private chatroom. But for those who are placed there, you’re doomed to exile, at least until the moderator has agreed to give you a second chance. You feel trapped and isolated, away from the action. You’ve got no idea when you’ll be allowed to grace the room with your presence. It could be a distorted noise that’s taking over the rest of the feed. Or maybe you haven’t figured out your privacy settings. Everyone else seems to have mastered it. It might be the speed and age of the machine. It’s good to see that everyone else is holding up OK though.

Tabled

It’s black. A bit see-through, but it does the job at short notice and there’s not a lot of choice around. Oddly, someone as decided to include ribbon in the packaging. I don’t think it’s for a gift. I think the idea is to give it a sense of luxury, but it’s not as if you’re going to wrap the ribbon back around it every time you put it away. It’s not silky and you can see that from the picture. It sounds big when you look at the dimensions, but we only had a small table and I expected it to dwarf it and it didn’t. There’s probably better cost-effective options out there, but I needed something quick, not for a table itself, but to hide things behind to make more of a barrier. It was used outside, but it’s amazing how much dust it’s picked up over the space of two days.

Birthday Call

 What can you do when it’s someone’s birthday and you can’t go out to celebrate and they can’t come to you? Get them on a video chat. Some of the folks needed help in getting everything set up for the big moment. It just took a call beforehand to get them set up. Unfortunately, we did have a couple of latecomers who could listen in but couldn’t take part. I also hadn’t managed this large a call before; but everyone seemed to keep up. At a time when not much is going on, I should have put a little game agenda together, but the idea of getting people online together to sing Happy Birthday was enough. I also couldn’t get the zoom on the camera quite right. The evening concluded by us breaking protocol slightly with my brother bringing in  cake followed by my nieces dressed as Hogwarts students. Hope people didn’t get too jealous.

Sing the No Body Blues

I’m expecting a humorous philosophic poem. There may be some backing music. It’s probably going to be very short and samely. I can’t imagine it doing her usual voice. It’s going to have to hold a tune otherwise it’s going to be very annoying. I hope it’s not going to imitate the skeleton song. The music is like a lullaby. It tells you what it can and can’t do. It went on for longer than I thought, but it’s still fairly short. Unfortunately, it’s the same song every time, but at least it’s in tune and it rhymes. It’s quite entertaining, but I doubt that it’s AI generated. It’s hard for it to see the positives, but it might make you feel better about yourself as you’re able to do more. There are some positives though. It can’t hum it, but it does try to find you similar genuine blues songs.  

Do Ya Wanna Build a Snowman?

It’s a classic winter scene. Two children are having fun  in the snow while nanny watches on inside in the warm. You can’t deny them the opportunity if they want to. It’s not as if the virus is going to spread in the snow. The poor chap looks a bit thin, but he hasn’t had much to start with. We could have padded him out a bit but I think we braved the cold for as long as we could. Good arms are hard to find. A borrowed hat an old scarf, and maybe a good part of Sunday dinner are all the materials needed to keep them happy, even though it’s a bit basic. But the smiles are worth it, and they look and feel like little Disney princesses. Maybe the little one wated to add some boots as well, or that was her tool of choice. But the next activity is calling.
