we are the dreamers of dreams
Aug. 25th, 2015 08:46 pmI don't have that much to actually say here. I'm still overwhelmed by emotion after this weekend and spent a bit of time introducing Katie and Zofia to Greek music, and I still need to process the fallout of the Hugo Awards. Let it be said that there is someone out there who is actually foregoing sleep in order to catalog negative posts about Teddy Beale and the Stalky Bunch.
Zofia asked how Emma was doing so I told her about the Emma I met on the Green Line because I haven't talked to the muralist since I ate at Brookline Lunch. She has this interview about dreams and getting into surrealism and wanting to cover every blank wall in the world in art and supposedly finishing up recording that damn EP.
I've been logging my dreams on and off for the better part of this century. A while ago, I had a dream where Norway was a Belarus-style dictatorship because the Nasjional Samling held out after the war, I guess liberating Norway wasn't really high priority. And yes, I know Belarus isn't fascist, it's run by a strongman who dissociated himself from the USSR. Dreams I have when I'm sick tend to be ten second loops of images and sounds. I remember when I had a bad flu and my dream was just this for like at least three hours. I dreamt of Fal'Cie but they weren't like either the Pulse Fal'Cie or the Cocoon Fal'Cie and the forest island in Riven. I dreamt I transformed into a caterpillar and rode around on a cat like it was Shadow of the Colossus and she didn't have any idea what I'm talking about, and then I carved bright streaks into the sky with a laser pen.
I apparently know way more Emmas than Zofia does. She only knows the Emma from Oregon and I think she met the other Emma from the Wildlife Center but that's it, and I'm really surprised actually.
I may or may not see Zofia next week but I'll probably see her in the winter or next summer. I said goodbye to Katie, who is going to work with a crazy wolf lady, and I may see her in the winter and I'll make sure she (and Emma and everyone else reading this Livejournal) gets scans from my sketchbooks sometime in mid-September.
"You know it's vegan friendly when you can't pronounce half the ingredients."
Zofia was talking about a trip to Six Flags and I told her about how I've never been on a roller coaster because when I last went to Canobie Lake, the lines for the roller coaster were too long and I really couldn't be fucked to wait.
Colostrum provides the antibodies in non-primates (primates get it from the placenta).
And this causes problems in clydesdales and captive dolphins.
Starlings are escape artists.
Nigel the iguana got some really tasty-sounding food with cilantro and kale and stuff. He's older than Zofia and Katie and it works for him.
So Bill's tattoos were actually from the opening scene from Watership Down. He thinks it might be based on Maori art or perhaps Australian art, and I can see that, especially when they're in color and not black and white.
Kate (not Katie) volunteers at a cat shelter and says that cats are very messy.
burning question: what power had brought me to this alien shore?
