cleolindaWhoa. I basically spent the whole afternoon sleeping off that summer cold I was worrying about--crap in my throat, all-over aching, traveling on Friday! AHHH!--and I had some freaky tweaked-out dreams, lemme tell you what. Like, dreams with characters and plots and fantasy settings and shit. Some kind of weird Pompeii-type setting with multiple generations and battles and islands on fire and characters dying and being reincarnated and marrying and having heirs and dying again and all kinds of weird-ass shit. Like, type-this-up-and-sell-it-to-a-publisher weird-ass shit. Damn.
Urg. I hurt.
I just now finally wrote the email to my publisher about which ten movies we want to do. I'm still stuck on number 10--we have way too many options--but I'll let y'all know when we have it finalized. On the understanding, of course, that 1) I can't look at anyone else's parodies of those movies, to protect both me (from accusations of playgerizm OMG) and other writers (from having their work actually, accidentally seep into my subconscious) and 2) once the book manuscript is on for real, I have about two months to write it. And at least one of those months I will be back in class. And it looks like that class will be on Milton. If nothing new gets posted in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
m15m for a while, you're just going to have to understand and be patient.
(Yes, Lord of the Rings. Yes, a Harry Potter of some kind. Yes, Titanic. You do realize that if these go in the book, I can't post them online, right? Yeah. You're starting to reconsider which movies you want in the book, aren't you?)
Trying to think of snacks to take on train, as will be on train for about eight hours, and train food itself will probably be overpriced, as it will be the only game in town at that point.

extremely addictive
it does this weird server thing, a right click and refresh fixes that up quick

My boss puts up out horoscopes on our team webpage every day. Today's was so accurate it was eerie. Part of me laughs, and part of me thinks, "OK, that's a litte freaky."

Date: 2004-07-22 12:17 am (UTC)Back in the day, I was all about Titanic. Hence why I snerked at the comment made about PoA.
And EVERYTIME you mention Luis Guzmán, I just lose it. I mean, seriously. As in, my next door neighbor just banged on the wall because I woke her up with my laughter.

In other news, it's fascinating the way dreams sometimes have plots. I only rarely have dreams like that, but I always write them down. I have at least two that might form themselves into a story one day, if only because I doubt I could come up with anything so wonderfully complex and bizarre while I'm awake...

As for train snacks, take crackers, juice and peanut butter...yum!

Mind if I go to amazon.com to purchase your book, when? There's only one big bookstore in town, and they're real smug about it. And I don't wanna pay extra fees to get it special-ordered at the smaller store...

i think that we might be channelling each other!!
Date: 2004-07-22 09:46 am (UTC)And my work colleague just got back from Italy where she spent some time in Pompeii and Herculeneum, and we spent a LOT of time yesterday talking about her trip!!!
Creeeeepy.

This makes me giggle for some reason.
My God, the man's forehead is so big it has its own time zone.
If you put out a book I promise, on its day of release, I'll be the first in line in front of the Barnes and Noble at 5:00 AM!
Good times.

Date: 2004-07-22 04:06 pm (UTC)Meh, I never have interesting dreams. In my dreams, I'll start to die, but right beore I do, I think, "Oh...I'm dreaming. I'm ok. I'll just keep screaming anyway though." And then I wake up. It's very weird.

Date: 2004-07-22 08:33 pm (UTC)Or we could just, y'know, buy the book. Then we wouldn't have to freak out when our flippin' internet stopped working again...*kicks modem* We could just go find your book! *squee* Congrats again, that's the coolest thing EVER. I hope it works out for you!
