Ok, so holiday = slack. You're just going to have to get used to January being this way because it's going to be quite the holiday month for me.
Then I felt guilty that people were probably coming here and not seeing new things so here I am.
Yesterday morning I dreamed I was looking out the window of my mythical house. There was the entrance to a subway outside and a street light just by the window. People were walking busily around on the street and there was a crocodile hanging from the street light. It had wound it's tail around the cross bar and was waiting with it's mouth open for someone to walk beneath. Then someone did, and it dropped down and I startled and woke up myself and Lee.
What I can't figure out is how the crocodile got on top of the street light in the first place. Did it climb? Did someone lift it up there on a crane? Did it drop out of the sky?
I think it was probably trained by ninja T-Rexes and that's how it developed it's leopard-like hunting technique.
How was everyone's New Years? Mine was verrrrry gamey. Board games and word games and stuff. I won my first ever game of Princes of Florence on January First so that bodes well. Then we played again yesterday and Lee won. Of course it was his birthday so maybe we were all "letting" him win. In retropect I played my last round very stupidly indeed, so I could have maybe won, if I'd thought about it.
I am reading Mister Monday which I'm not liking as much as Sabriel but I'm liking OK as a kid's fantasy book. It sorta reminds me of a bunch of other stuff I've read: (Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Alice in Wonderland, His Dark Materials.) So it doesn't feel super-fresh. It is enjoyable all the same.
I also picked up the Sandman Companion which I bought like, a year and a bit ago and didn't get around to reading because I sorta thought to read it with the comics beside me. I just got over that because I don't know how I'm ever going to afford to buy them and when I get them out of the library I just read them and return, so...yeah. So far it's a history of Neil Gaiman but I'm only in like, the first chapter.
We've been watching Lost. It's awesome. Everyone should watch Lost. It's a US tv show about a plane crashing onto a desert island and the survivors have to sort out surviving but the island is all weird and there are ninja T-Rexes out to get them. It's too cool. I think a NZ tv network has picked it up.
