Do you sometimes feel like you have entered another dimension?
I’d always traipsed along gaily in my own dimension, skipping along in my own meadow with the wild flowers. However, in recent times, I feel like I have climbed over a stile and stepped into another dimension altogether, that looks exactly like my own, but where things don’t work out the way they should, or people turning up when they shouldn’t, and things happening when they shouldn’t.
Similarities, differences.
I spent the weekend in a totally different dimension from mine.
It is a dimension where soft little furry rats from Ikea make sense.
It is also where I go for Beowulf expecting to see Angelina Jolie and Anthony Hopkins and get a CGI-ed cartoon. It was unexpected and truly, it is not a movie for those under 13 years old as recommended. There is lots of gore and violence and suggestive bawdy jokes. I felt the last one was totally unnecessary and did not help the movie at all. Not recommended viewing. And here are famous last words re the movie before it began “Its Beowulf, how bad can it be?” Och! Bad indeed!
I went for a play and fell asleep towards the end. It was awful, sorry! *cringe* But it was for a cause.
I met people I was not supposed to meet in a situation which felt rather like an ambush – whether an ambush for me or for them, its hard to say. Either way, I don’t think it was that much more comfortable for them than it was for me.
I sat through a belly dancing performance at dinner, not knowing where to look as the belly dancer gyrated and moved sinously through her dance moves and in her scanty clothing. I mean seriously, looking at her face would be doing her a disservice to her performance, and looking at her lithe body made me feel a little like a voyeur.
And it is a dimension where this look, if perfected, could definitely get you places.
Aww….
None of the above would have happened in my dimension as I know it. So it must be the workings of a separate parallel dimension, right? 
Well, except for the ambush, everything else was pretty alright and fun.
So, did you have a good weekend?

I watched Beowulf over the weekend too, and I though it was meh. Was surprised they gave this a U-rating.
I heard that Beowulf wasn’t as great as expected either. I did know that it was a CGI-ed movie, though. hmmm, to go or not to go?
I’d watch the belly dancer’s hips – they’re just too hypnotising! haha!
Wow. What a weekend you had, PB!
I remember watching the belly dancer at Le Meridien and not knowing where to look as well! LOL In the end, I decided to look at her hips, taking the cue from the Iranian family next to our table.
I’d love to learn the Puss-In-Boots look! I spent my whole weekend thinking that I have to work on Monday. Hahahaha.
I have that IKEA mouse! Somewhere!! I have to fish it out from its box before it suffocates..
Tine: Was it a U-rating? I thought it was PG-13 advised. And i thought it was bad.
May: Yes I settled for that at the end of the day. I thought I was doing her credit LOL…
Cheesey: Oh cool! So I did right! I still felt like a voyeur though.
Rinnah: Aww… but I’m glad your 1st day went well
LB: Do you now? Yes yes, fish it out, don’t let it suffocate.
I contemplated taking up belly-dancing… I hear it’s good exercise.
