Haunted by Mega Star

At Ezra’s prompting, I’ll write up this creepy dream I had last night. It took place at my parents’ house in Pennsylvania (as many of my dreams do). I was there, and so was Scarlett Johansson. She was some sort of psycho femme fatale, I guess… coming on to everyone (male and female), somehow vacuous but with a great capacity for trickery, manipulation, and evil. She was trying to kill me (and maybe everyone else, too). Primarily she was trying to hit me with things. I can’t remember all the details, but somebody tried to hit somebody with the base of a heavy lamp, a big silver tray, and a long serrated knife. Well, I tried to hit her, too. I mean, self defense!! Somehow I got out of the house, but she was still in there. I went to seek help. I walked down my parents’ street, and then turned back. When I returned to the house I was initially pleased to see a bunch of cars in the driveway–help had arrived, maybe. I took one small truck for a police vehicle, but then my heart sank when I realized it was just a mail truck. I went inside… cautiously… Scarlett heard me come in and she slowly started down the stairs, in a daze. I tried to sort of tackle her, but she pulled out one of those leatherman things and tried to whack me with it. Then one of us had a wrench. I think at that point I woke up.

Have you voted yet? There’s still time!

Even if you don’t know much about the candidates, at least go and vote on the initiatives (well, in Massachusetts there are three issues on the ballot, and a short explanation accompanies each).
