There were minor jellyfish accompanying it but when I had astral projection recently, they sort of jumped off to join a herd of buzzing jellyfish and then I awoke. Its projections reach downwards to my left leg. <br /><br />If it's not too much to ask, do you know what kind of magic I would need to get rid of it once and for all?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806924497792713159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-13987126419911167412011-04-11T19:06:00.931-04:002011-04-11T19:06:00.931-04:00Thanks, Richard.

@Tim - Yoink...Thanks one and all for the comments.<br /><br />@Tim - Yoink away. :)<br /><br />@Johnathan - Yeah, the picture was what pretty much inspired the thing.<br /><br />@Drune - Well, of course, that's what it's urging you to say...<br /><br />@Sean - yeah me too. I feel like there's too much emphasis on realism these days. That's fine for film, but in other media I think we can glory in the fakiness of previous eras.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-14872586299904711622011-01-14T11:35:49.305-05:002011-01-14T11:35:49.305-05:00Too cool!
