Last night I dreamed that I entered this giveaway on the tumblr affiliate program, and won a cheese-making kit or something. I was excited about it because in my dream I was still obsessively following the “Pokemon food chain” thing, and this was a cheese that “Pokemon” was made from. (The kit was exactly like this:

This raspberry-infused kit contains four separate cultures that can be combined to make a variety of cheeses. Bake your own bread and then use the leftover sourdough starter to culture your cheeses. We include the raspberry petri dishes for your cheese curds as well as the mold and rennet to make your own cheese. We also provide you with recipes for your cheese.

My dream self found the whole thing very romantic)

The giveaway was apparently an innovative use of the “affiliate links” feature that tumblr just added recently. It was run by somebody called “Tumblr_Sponsor” who was like a forum bot with a lot of clout. I knew that it was designed to promote some kind of tumblr toolkit or dashboard add-on – but the interface was really confusing and only kind of worked, so my dream self got really confused, and woke up shortly after the giveaway ended
