Keeping My Mind Busy
Odd dreams last night. Two disconnected scenes:
In one, I was sitting in a bar trying to drink myself into oblivion (uncharacteristic, the imagery in the scene reminded me of a scene from Ink). I was drinking gin (also uncharacteristic, probably a detail cribbed from a short story I was listening to earlier). My dream character was either not me or me as an amnesiac (or just really drunk, the scene sort of started in the middle). For some reason, I gave Ames's full name as mine (on my check?), and the bartender pointed out that was obviously incorrect. I didn't realize I was writing someone else's name until the bartender pointed it out, but then I couldn't remember my own name. The bartender was able to figure out who I was (or who he thought I was, "Hawk" something-or-other, also sounded like a pseudonym). Another interesting detail: The bartender kept a ledger of how many drinks various people were allowed to have, including a section at the top labeled "AA Members".
In the second scene, I was bouldering outside in dry summer weather. I think I was myself in that scene. The rock was not very tall, and it stretched alongside a pool of blue water. The stone was colored like sandstone, but very smooth. Climbing on it was easy, the rock was very uneven and there were a lot of features to grab on to. For some reason, I had the idea that I was in the Washington, D.C. area even though the climate and scenery totally didn't fit with that. I think I was climbing with some other people, but I don't remember anyone specific.
A few other snippets from my life:
Anime club is running marathons of series during January, so I went to see all of Chaos Head this past weekend. I saw the first few episodes before and liked it, but it takes a bad turn midway through. It goes from an awesome psychological drama to a poorly plotted scifi adventure show with tons of clunky technobabble exposition. Argh.
Also, even though I've been in a quieter mood lately, it's been good having my social life pick up again post-winter-holidays. Yesterday, went to Diesel briefly and had dinner with Shoshana. Today I'm going to Medieval Dance practice (not that I'm really involved in SCA stuff again, but I'm looking forward to the break from routine).
