Yup, the eating-for-dinner kind, as opposed to the eating-for-enlightenment variety.

So if god starts revealing herself to me in all her heathen splendor, I'm calling the toxi taxi pretty damn quick. ;)

in either case stay calm, focus on your breathing, notice the space between in and out breaths, and ignore the weird creatures beckoning you to open their doors, they are only figments of your 40,000 year old brain.

You can attempt to follow the tendrils. They seem to be interesting pathways, though they often lead nowhere. Better to focus on the smoke plumes from the blue caterpillar.

I would have no problem per se with a performance of the Castaneda Chorus. It's just that their appearance at this juncture would imply an error in plucking judgment that might have additional and less friendly effects.

But I don't feel anything. Do you feel anything?

Well, you're still more lucid than lurid...

Damn, I'm slow tonight. Of course you mean Sister Amanita.

We saw her standing beside a tree stump. She looked so pretty there that we decided not to take her home to dinner.

She was waiting for her man. Which is why she was lurid.
