Dreams and Books
Oct. 27th, 2010 01:31 pmI kind of overslept today and so I'm not going to my IP class. This is the first time I've missed it this semester so I don't actually feel too odd about it. Also it ended up working out since my internship boss needed to talk to me about something. Oh and apparently its almost time to register for next semester again, where did this semester go?
Last night I had an odd dream where I was talking with two married friends and one of them was pregnant and I think we were in Auckland or Wellington. For some reason, I was doing something very important with matches, it was kind of odd.
In book news, I just finished Moonheart by Charles De Lint, which is one of his earliest works. He's one of my favorite authors because like Seanan McGuire, he really thinks about what does it mean if there was magic in the world. Sadly I didn't like this book as much as I like his authors, there are hints of his subtle touch but a lot of this really read like here's the problem and how we fix it. Also I was disappointed in his use of Celtic and Native Canadian mythology, normally he just does things so well, its odd to read him being kind of heavy handed. Though I think my biggest disappointment was in the character interactions, the two main characters both met their kind of soul mate in the Otherworld and slept with them the first night, that was so soon and such a fantasy trope, it confused me coming from him. I think I may need to reread some Newford stories to remind myself of just how good he is.
Now I'm going to finish my tea and maybe drive off to a big Halloween store since I want to try and do a better pooka and that requires good face makeup.
