dust or magic

I had a dream that I went boating with friends.

Not my first dream about boating with friends (which is weird in itself because I've never boated with friends, not even a little bit) but definitely the first where the speedboats had no propellers, but were harnessed to little (comparatively) Loch Ness Monster-things that we dug out of the mud (think Uruk Hai). Friendly like slippery puppies the size of Volkswagen bugs.

I thought this was so cool and fun that I was determined to impress a girl I had my eye on by taking her out on a boat ride with a mini-LNM. Alas, when we got to the dock, it was winter and deserted. Even the lakeside cottage was depressing, painted a sad avocado green on the inside, with dust in the sink and bare cupboards.

Analyze all you like - frankly I think this one is random neurons firing...

fistful o' fiction

I'm going to be spending a lot of time in airports/planes at irregular hours over the next month, so I stopped off at the library to pick up "fluff" (not non-fiction/hardcore academic) reading:

Birth of Venus

Dead as a Doornail

Game of Kings (Lymond Chronicles)

A Dirty Job

Bottom of the queue because the library didn't have 'em in: Crystal Rain, Honor of the Queen.
