arkratirmaWoke up at 5:something and 7:something this morning before getting up at 9:00. Mr. Gibbs had woken me up at one of the two earlier times, meowing outside my window for food. Pesky, adorable cat, that Mr. Gibbs.
My dream was very vivid, and sad. I don't know what brought it on. I was at a house similar to our old rental in Weimar, looking out my window at the Buick. Three young boys were inside it and around it; I yelled "Hey, you can't do that!" and ran out to confront them. I noticed their eyes were bloodshot and rimmed with tears. One of them told me they'd lost their family. Last thing I remember about the dream is comforting the boys with a hug - big group hug.
Hmmm.
Today was warm and gorgeous (though too warm in Portland by the time class was out). I got Draco out to his big cage and picked some dandelion leaves for him. After rinsing off the Buick's pollen film, I sprayed the area around Draco's cage with the hose to help keep him cool until I got home.
Hung out with Melissa and Jacob before class, trading laughs and sharing sketchbook drawings. Offhand, I mentioned the "MER" dinosaur I'd drawn on the wall; a boy sitting to my right asked me about it, telling me that he'd seen a bunch of students trying to decipher that creepy smile. I told him it has no real significance and is simply meant to be creepy. Commence the Old Greg quotes! XD
Creative Writing was pretty cool. Got some good feedback from my group, and Aurora and I had fun discussing our characters as usual. Josh noted that we speak of them as if they were real people, but that's hard not to do when you're really attached to them. When Julia handed back last week's assignment, she asked me specifically to fill her in on some missing scenes from the story, so she could help me more efficiently with it.
After saying goodbye to Aurora, I went to Everyday Music and picked up Sounds Of The Universe. Hit some rather bad traffic, then tended to Draco once home. Had a big salad of spring greens, feta cheese, Craisins, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Rinsed the Buick off again and brought Draco out to the backyard to soak up the setting sun's rays. Napped with him briefly before getting him back into his terrarium. I love Draco so much. <3
Sounds Of The Universe is quite good. Not Depeche Mode's strongest effort, by any means, but a good listen in my opinion. Its published reviews have mostly been negative, but like I said - new DM grows on me quickly. "Wrong" and "Come Back" are my standouts. I also am quite fond of "Jezebel" - the only song Martin Gore sings on his own.
Going to add a bit more to my Intermediate Modeling homework. Will finish it up tomorrow before class.
Shit, I say "GTFO!" to dA and now I'm a junkie for LJ. That's how it goes, I guess.

Date: 2009-04-24 09:28 am (UTC)That's a very interesting dream. Hmmm, indeed.
I love that your dinosaur had a creepy smile to just have creepy smile. XD
Napped with him briefly before getting him back into his terrarium. I love Draco so much. <3
D'aww. Too cute. Mama and her baby.
CRAISINS! (We always talk about food...lol)
I want to listen to Sounds of the Universe. Thanks for getting me interested in Depeche Mode, Jill. ;)
Well I'm glad you're an LJ junkie rather than dA junkie since I'm on here more. XD

Date: 2009-04-24 10:19 pm (UTC)I've been trying to keep track of the stranger dreams I've had recently. I should really get into writing them down in a dream journal or something.
I'll take a photo of the 'MER dinosaur and post him here one of these days! XD
Exactly! Draco is my baby. <3
CRAISINS ARE AMAZIN'! :D (Indeed, we do! 'CAUSE FOOD IS GOOD.)
I think you'll like a lot of the songs! And the music video for "Wrong" is very well done. *wriggles* You're welcome, Kat!
It's true! I can talk with mah Kat on LJ!

Awesome! I will have to watch!

Date: 2009-04-27 08:13 am (UTC)I've been wanting to record my dreams for ages, but I only tend to draw the weird monsters I dream up - and those are infrequent dreams. I read the first chapter of my Creative Writing text, Writing Fiction, yesterday, and it suggests keeping a journal consistently for at least two weeks to help your writing. I used to keep a written journal until a few years ago, when I fell out of habit. I should take it up again!
'MEEEEEEEEER! XD
Babeh Draco. <3
(HOSHIT gimme some of those skewers! :D)
MAH KAT IS THE WIN! <3

Aww...tiny little babeh Draco. <3

AWW. MAH JILL IS THE WIN! <3
