Zombies and the Underground

[errantember]

So, among other things, I had dream last night that I somehow became a zombie, and was tearfully shot by my own German grandmother whom I haven't seen or really even thought about in about 20 years. This is a bit more out-of-left-field than most of my dreams. After going through a Dream Worker phase, and because I rarely have to get out of bed on anyone else's schedule, I now have a policy of going back into any dream that ends badly and changing it to something positive instead.

I believe that there are powerful subconscious benefits to doing so. This one was a toughie, but I recalled an example of a character being redeemed from zombification in the Malazan Books of the Fallen by Steven Erikson, which I've been re-reading lately, and used that as a seed idea to revive myself from undeadhood. I suspect this may have something to do with actually enjoying my job for about thirty minutes yesterday.

I also had a dream of being in a burn-event like environment where the community had sub-divided the large, subterranean warehouse into two parts, a positively aspected part, and a negatively aspected part. I suspect this may have something to do with my plans to bring my hexayurt and a yet-to-be-constructed collapsible competitor to Decompression next weekend.

sounds like an adventure

Have you seen the Folding Hexayurt?

There's some more video on Archive.org which shows the full way of making them, although we've discovered that it works "well enough" without angle cutting the edges.

Enjoy the decompression!
