Nobody ever tells me anything...

hawkwing_lb...at least, not until it's over.
The zombie apocalypse completely passed me by. It appears that all the good stuff was being posted to LJ well after I'd packed it in for the night. It's odd, you know, to realise that if anything big really did happen across the Atlantic, the odds are good that it'd be well and truly over before I ever heard of it, due to me not watching the television at all except at gunpoint, and checking the BBC website only every month or so unless I'm actually looking for something in particular.
This headline amused me no end, though, when I checked the Beeb today.

Blustery day today. Wet, windy. Pretty miserable to be out and about in, actually. So of course, I biked to the supermarket twice and walked down a third time (catfood!), thus making more trips to get shopping today than I have in the last three days.
Good news for the get-myself-back-in-fitness project, at least.

Writing isn't going so great. I have the 'I suck' malady, and with the laptop out of service and AWOL, I'm finding the desktop really uncomfortable to write at for any length of time. I may need to adjust the keyboard shelf and get one of those ergonomic wrist-rest thingies. I've been writing by hand, and accumulated probably 2.6K in the last four days, but now I need to type it up.
I miss my laptop.

So in the last five or six weeks, I've watched the first three seasons of Farscape and the first three seasons of Stargate SG-1, more TV than I've consumed in the last six months. And I've been having regular, vivid, in-colour-with-narrative dreams.
(Last night's one, for example, had an overthrown king, an untrustworthy counselor or two, a small band of companions, a menace from tunnels beneath the earth, labyrinthine citadels, night attacks in a harbour, an exodus, and death-or-glory stands. In freakin' Technicolour. With a narrative that actually made a certain amount of sense. Strange, no?)
These phenomena may not be unconnected. I should probably conduct further experiments, don't you think?
