I tell you folks what, April has really gotten to me something fierce. First off, I'm knocked flat on my ass the first couple days of the month, sick as a dog. Maybe the flu, I don't know, but I sure as hell ached all over, could barely move without feeling nauseous.

Then I had more of them damned dreams, which just keep getting stranger the more I have them. (And I did meet you, Victor, like you said. Some gentleman you are.)

And now the horses are acting skittish around me. Do I smell funny?

Least I got to keep my own body, is all.

It seems I am not lucky enough to have escaped these dreams. 19th Century insane asylums are not something I would recommend. It was actually rather disturbing.

Well I have to say I was surprised there weren't more April Fools jokes happening at the studio yesterday. It was all rather quiet. Which had me suspicious all the way up to lunchtime but nobody tried to play any pranks on me so I was happy.

I did however experience a rather vivid dream last night about being in Victorian England, that was unusual. I can only assume it is what everybody has been going on about.

My barista recognized me from my work today. It was all very flattering, except for the part where she pointed at me, referenced my large ... body of work, and dropped hot coffee on herself. I could have done without that bit.

Back to spending my free time at the Cafe. Decided that whenever this feast will be, will NOT be on Saint Patrick's Day. because I don't want to crush two awesome things together.

But I? Am so making these.

There's an envelope with your name on it in the kitchen - I've split how the funds from the cafe come in ,one goes to "PAY THESE BILLS" fund, one goes to "HOUSE", there's a card in there that accesses the House bank account. Use it for whatever we need at the house. I know I'm kind of withdrawn and hiding but yeah, I thought this was a good idea too. I already prepaid for the jacuzzi, though, so you don't need to worry about that. :)

Is it just me or is this new movie Chappie just a future version of Short Circuit?

I'm rather excited to be here. New town, new show design and new promotion all combined into one.

I've found an apartment but if anybody has any tips about what I should see or do around the county please let me know. I've never been to California before so this is a big exciting move.

Is anyone watching the movie about Houdini on The History Channel? It's interesting, to say the least. I think I would find it more appealing if it weren't for the fact as a Warlock, I could do these things with actual magic.

Thank you to all of you who came out to our opening night last night! It was hugely successful.

For those of you not in the know, Loki Odinson and I are both in a run of Midsummer Night's Dream, that will be going on for the next two weeks. It seems like such a short time, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose.

I hope to see all of you there!

Well, that's what I get for going to sleep. Is it possible that current events affect the Dreams?

Seriously. Enough is enough. I can't sleep. I haven't been able to in at least a week. I have no idea what to do anymore. I can't keep running on like two hours night. This yoga thing isn't working fast enough. This is driving me crazy but I don't know what else to do about it. Usual running isn't helping. Little seems to be.

These dreams are rather insistent aren't they? I feel like I'm being bombarded every night at the moment and they aren't exactly all sweetness and light either.

Has anybody successfully stopped them? They're rather tiring and I have a show to do on Friday.

Since I'm advertising my services out here, I figured, I could introduce my current horses. I really love the pair of them, so I don't mind talking about them! Ha.

I'm rather excited. In addition to my weekly performance in Los Angeles I've been asked to write a weekly horoscope column in the Orange County paper. In celebration anybody who brings in the column for the first month it's printed will get 20% off the admission to my psychic evening.

Oh I apologise I'm getting ahead of myself, for those who don't know my name is Vanessa Ives and I've recently moved to Irvine from the heart of LA.
