Dreamposting – Fish for Dinner


Didn’t get enough sleep and passed out pretty hard around noon, close to an hour.  Woke from an intense dream.  Lot of weird stuff going on, but I was trying to do a followup work call in the living room when these two freaks came barging in the front door with no permission – a vampire master and his wacky minion.  Very kramerish intro.  They presumed they’d be welcome because they brought a lot of pizza.  I actually did recognize them from somewhere and presume a prior acquaintance, but have lost that info since waking.

My husband asked me to guess what we had in the oven.  I didn’t know, and he made me look.  It was a living fish, with enough water to swim in.  My husband is vegetarian with a pescatarian allowance, based on the principle he could bring himself to kill a fish, but not any other animal people use for meat.  I wanted to ask him if this was, for him, a test of that principle, but could barely speak for some reason.

Still, he understood me, said yes, and asked me how you cut off their heads.  I said you cut through the gill area starting at the bottom, and as I explained, realized I was already doing that to a fish in the living room.  Oops, he meant to kill it himself!  He was in the kitchen and I tried to ask from around the corner, is the fish still in the oven?

But I could still barely speak.  I realized my eyes were closed and tried to ask if I was imagining the fish in front of me, but in doing so, I woke up for real, crazy winter sunlight streaming in my front window.  Woof.  Hey what about the pizza?

    “Mayng-uh.” There is, of course, an anime as well, but not released in US yet, AFAICT. Do you remember scrounging for fansubs?

    TV Tokyo only aired twenty-five of the series’ twenty-six episodes, with the finale having been intentionally made too violent, obscene and long for broadcast on Japanese TV.

    😱

    good gravy. that show was dubious as hell tho. recurring “joke” was a pedophile trying to mack on a child, late season “punchline” was him getting her alone and she turns out to have adult woman body hiding in her baby clothes, grosses him out.

    We did that one to death in high school, I’m afraid. Something odd going on with the subtitles in your clip, though. Kelpie liver is fish-adjacent (that clip cracks me up, but probably just because I have anime brain rot).
