Can any dream interpreters let me know why I had a chicken katsu curry in a bag in my dream last night?

Music, football, professional wrestling, mild inconveniences.
WFH productivity has nosedived this week as new internet with a handy meshing system means I can more easily look at memes at my desk.
This is a great punchline I wrote for a joke about an octopus. Sadly I cannot remember the joke.
Have you ever seen both @themerl.bsky.social and Milk-o-Mania used in a friendly workplace reminder before?
I don’t think I have ever been this sweaty in my life and I am generally a sweaty man.
Union Street FC@unionstreetfc.bsky.social · 12mo agoBloody hell that was hot Some classic pre-season nonsense from tonight’s fixture. One goal in the opening hour, seven in the last 30 minutes. A 5-3 defeat, two penalty saves and a worrying amount of minutes in our decrepit legs. ONWARDS 💚
The only redeeming quality about West Brom is the lad in the combi boiler suit. #DERWBA

Remembering a funny incident with my large human baby (1Y) yesterday in which he did a big fart and pointed to his nappy, which he does to indicate that he’s shit himself. Took him upstairs, on the changing table, nappy off, no shit and the wee man laughing at me. Mugged off by a baby.

Tonight’s listen was Breakfast in America by Supertramp following complaints of previous choices being too abrasive. Holly - ‘yeah that was good’. Theo - not the usual levels of excitement but he enjoyed the title track. I’m a fan of this album (I own it, after all); side A rips, B is a bit meh.

A running joke from my old band that I’ve just remembered is that we referred to drop D as ‘standard tuning’ and I just think that’s a great bit.
This website is in the ‘Kelly Rowland sending a text message to Nelly in Excel’ stage of wholesome.
Scored the equaliser in a 2-2 draw with my first touch after coming on, so actually pretty well I reckon.
