small dead rodent, Russell Brand

Here I go again. Another nonsensical dream that I had last night.

I was at work.

Sadly, a lot of my dreams are of me at work(sometimes trapped working there after hours with the lights off, but customers keep coming in anyway, because someone forgot to lock the door--a real nightmare!)

It started out with my boss being in a good mood(which is rare these days), but I can’t remember that part much, now that I am writing it all down. Then it morphed into my boss being...Russell Brand.

Whom I hardly know much about aside from what he looks like from magazine photos and that he is a British comedian and that I heard an interview with him on the radio not too long ago(found out that he was a drug addict for a long time and seemed very intelligent. How do those things go together, tell me?)

Anyway, there was some kind of game going on with even this stupid song and at first I was thinking I had things to get done and I wasn’t going to play along. People were being made to do things like walk around all day with a paper bag over their head --things that had to do with the rules of the game. But then I decided in the dream, that I should lighten up and go along with it too.

So, when it came to MY turn, I was informed by Russell(he was barely Russell Brand anymore, now, but some vague participant and head of the “game”) that I would have to walk around all day with a dead MOUSE BALANCED ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF MY NOSE.

I was repulsed by it, of course, but decided to bear it with bravery and show everyone I was tougher than they thought(there was some vague “audience” around me). As it turns out, this dead mouse was black and kind of shiny and wrinkly—sort of flattened out. Like a cured, pickled black olive. It didn't smell—only that it was embarrassing and disgusting with that little dead thing on my face.

Already, the rest of the dream is gone and I don’t even know what the conclusion was, but apparently I passed the test and finished my trial of “dead mouse on nose”.

So, that is it...Russell Brand, wrinkly dead mouse on nose, and some mild public humiliation.
