magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

dreamt that our apartment overlooked downtown providence (we can see the tops of the handful of tall buildings, but in the dream it was a beautiful, panoramic view) and the ocean was just the other side of the city. it was a nice day and i was standing on our porch (or balcony?) looking out at the view, and the ocean began to swell up and in a sort of time-lapse movement a giant tidal wave washed in and toppled on downtown. we must have been up high enough that the water didn't get to us, but all power and telephone lines and everything was out. later i was talking about trying to make my way to connecticut, because i had family and friends there, and it was a really big deal, as if this hadn't simply been a giant tidal wave in providence, but a worldwide cataclysmic event.
