Sweet Dreams

[ceitfianna]

I'm home from my amazing trip and last night I had one of those dreams that I really wished was real. I was watching a film about the world of Thor and Loki, it was while they were young and they were helping to fight something. At one point over this delicious thing that was a sort of shortbread rollup cake with raspberry jam, Odin told them a story about Denmark and it was so sweet. During all of this Thor or Chris Hemsworth but not exactly was sitting next to me and being the perfect guy date. We talked and were close to each other and he had this amazing silver almost feather earring that he told me about. Then suddenly we were both in undergraduate college again and he had to go do a paper on some work about Orpheus and Eurydice and we talked about Classics. I woke up when we were walking away and I miss having someone to talk to and cuddle with while watching dorky things.

I've got a bit of a break before my next round of work and everything starts on the sixth and I have things to write and errands to do. Bills and job things are top priority but getting myself a massage is high up there. On the plane flight back, I did something to one of my shoulders and its not horribly painful but it does hurt. This is why I don't like sitting in aisle seats, on window ones, I can lean against the plane and it is ever so slightly more comfortable. I miss the hot tub from our cottage, that did such amazing things for me in terms of relaxation. Also to do is work on my ineedmyfics story, I have a strong start with it, but it needs poking. I'm considering putting up a prompt post too as since I've finished my masters, my fiction writing has been going quite well.

I have my schedule for the upcoming semester and its pretty nice. Most of my shifts are online ones so even if they end at midnight, I'm home. I have one morning shift, the Friday opening one that feels like mine at this point. Next weekend, I'm helping with an upcoming Bookfest downtown which should be busy but fun. Things are coming together. Now if I can just find a workout/dance thing that I love and can afford for the semester, I'll be set.

The wedding and family wonderfulness will get a separate post with many pictures.

Your dream reminds me of two things, a) the DVD Thor: Tales of Asgard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor:_Tales_of_Asgard) and b) the comic book Thor: Son of Asgard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor:_Son_of_Asgard). Both of which were very good.

I picked up Hounded from the library and am loving it as well. I love the idea that the immortals aren't family with modern earth.

I keep seeing that DVD and considering buying it and I'll look for the comic, Thor's my kind of superhero.

I know, its such a good solid urban fantasy series. I really need to find the other two books. Going by the titles, I think the third one involves a version of Thor.

The comic I would recommend buying without reading but the DVD I would suggest seeing if a local library had it first. It was good just not fabulous.


And reading below I am so jealous of skidmo.

Will do, I think Netflix has actually been pushing it on me of late.

Me too, I used to go the opera with my parents and its one of my favorite things.

One thing I really enjoyed about the DVD was that Loki wasn't evil or self serving really. He was the bookish kid in the group of jocks and the dynamic worked really well. I love Marvel's kid Loki. = ]

In the movie, Loki never struck me as evil. I think that's why he's so compelling, he's figuring out his relationships with his brother.

Also another comic that keeps looking interesting is one of the Marvel kids ones. Thor and the Warriors Four, I was paging through it at my local comic place. I need to get a Thor icon.

Very true. I would suggest the most recent past ten issues of Thor, the relaunched Journey Into Mystery and Mighty Thor as in current canon the old Loki was killed but Thor brought him back as he missed the brother he used to adventure with. Now Loki's a little kid with little or no memories. His old "self" is a magpie he's named Ikol which hangs around and gives him advice. It's all pretty cute and well thought out. Thor is about the only one who stands up for Loki and yet Loki doesn't hate the rest of Asgard because of the abuse and mistrust.

The Seattle Opera is doing Orpheus & Eurydice this year, and I have no one to go with! :(

[ceitfianna]

If I lived there, I would go with you. This recent trip reminded me how much I love the West Coast and need a good long road trip from Seattle to possibly LA.

[skidmo]

Yeah, when I saw the ad for it, I thought, "Oh, man, I could totally get Fi to go with me if she were here..."

Seattle to LA is an excellent road trip. I've taken it a couple times.

Welcome home! That sounds like a lovely dream. I love those dreams where you feel so content and happy (and nothing does it like a good date dream!) Sadly, then we have to wake up.

It was, one of the very nicest I've had in a while.
