steak pie

i was in japan with an ex-girlfriend who i had hooked back up with

we were at a japanese 'funfair' watching some locals play the 'knock down the cans to win' game except it wasnt cans that were stacked up it was fruit

as the attendants back was turned the girl i was with picked up one ball and threw it at a single orange that was sitting on the shelf

with a direct hit the orange fell off the shelf and the attendant turned and shouted 'winner!' handing her a plush bunny

he then indicated to me that it would cost 45 for that so i reached into my back pocket and pulled out a hefty wad of cash the outer note of which was a 50

as i peeled it off to pay, the girl said she didnt want the bunny to be alone so she wanted another shot to win another

so i wrapped the wad back together and put it in the side pocket of my hoodie

we ended up back at the hotel room and.. fade-to-black

the next day i was back home and getting ready to meet up with some friends to watch the rugby

i was a little worried because i was heading into town where i hadnt been before and i knew it was going to be busy

sure enough there were loud english people everywhere a various groups of scots in kilts and it was very noisy

i made my way between sandstone buildings and over cobbled streets towards the clock tower that we were supposed to be meeting under

as i approached my phone started to ring and i reached into my pocket to answer it

the phone i pulled out was not my iphone 3gs but what appeared to be a cheap replica with a slide function and standard keypad

the ringtone was in japanese but the caller id was of the guy i was meeting

i quickly reached the conclusion that my phone had been stolen whilst i was in japan and the details cloned

as i was struggling to operate the phone i saw the girlfriend of who i was meeting standing in a doorway posing for a picture

then i spotted the guy just up the street

he was already quite drunk but recognised me and made a grand gesture of welcome before asking me what was wrong

i pulled the phone out and held it up towards him stating 'this is not an iphone'

as he struggled to focus on it i explained my theory that my phone must have been stolen in japan the day before

i managed to open the phone and go into the menu where i saw a bill for 2.99 on the app store

clicking through i realised that my account details would have been saved on my stolen phone and the thief could buy anything from the app store leaving me with the bill

at this point i wondered if the phone i was holding, being a clone, was actually linked to the real phone

so i opened the camera feature of the phone and sure enough rather than showing me what the phone i held was looking at i saw what my real phone was looking at. i could even control which direction it was facing like a remote camera of some kind

i saw a group of vietnamese kids on a bridge dancing around the phone

from the images it looked like some kind of weird ritual but i assumed they were playing music through it

the guys i had met up with suggested we go for a drink to calm me down and we went into a pub called ozymandias which was full of scotsmen watching the rugby

one the guys in our group tried to get drinks from the hatch the led into the kitchen where the chef puts out orders for waitresses



that was a dream i had last night

normally i dont dream at all or at the very least i dont remember

but i can remember everything about that dream in vivid colour and detail from the white plush bunny to the tartare sauce on the food waiting to be served

so what the hell was in that steak pie last night!?
