Why I am I saying this here? Gotta get it down somewhere or I'll forget what story there is. Anyway here goes. weirdness starts around midnight.
- So, midnight. Discover that a good friend of mine who has expressed an aversion to using the phone has been prominently featured on local news proudly announcing the awesomeness of the HS football team, before the games have started. Not done, this being an example of a sure way to get everyone else stoked to beat yo into the ground. "who do they think they are?!"-every pep talk against our team this year... Weird point 1
- Hours pass, can't sleep. Kill time reading book seven of Ranger's Apprentice* Eventually I do drop off to sleep. Experience awfully vivid dream (which disappears right away) involving myself as RA character discussing current affairs with the several other main characters. Eventually wake up out of that with my head full of intricate international hostage-transfer movement patterns from RA world, which makes absolute zero sense because nothing remotely like that has been written down in the books for me to remember. Also, wake up having identity crisis: Which world am I really in and where/who am I?-I count weirdness points 2,3, and 4
- After rising from that, I got up and wandered aimlessly for ten minutes wondering whether I had glasses on and where I had put them. (normally I do, but due to recent events I don't but often think I might.) Due to the mindlessness of the wandering I count that as weird point 5
*Yes I've been reading Ranger's Apprentice novels recently. I could write a whole post on my low opinion of them. who knows, maybe I will after I finish number 12 in a few weeks. It is my developing opinion that although #7 is not bad at all, it should never have been written in the first place due to the judgement error that made it #7 instead of #5. Deflates a lot of the fun suspense.
That certainly sounds like a mighty bizarre day. Those dreams where you are in something fictional is always crazy weird, especially after watching Inception.

There was talk of 7 being made 5 but it didn't turn out.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity you don't like them, as I've loved them pretty much my entire reading life. :)
I love it when you have those dreams! :) It always makes you feel awesome.
Why don't you like RA?
See my post in about two weeks, by which time I will have read all twelve.
DeleteOkay. :) The 12th one isn't released until October I thought.
ReplyDeleteWhoops. Got me there. Make that eleven, then. and did you know he started a different set called brotherband chronicles about kids from Skandia? That sounds interesting and it got me confused.
DeleteBrotherband isn't as good as RA in my opinion. The first is REALLY good. But the second, basically he didn't need to write it and it had waaaaayyyyy too much detail and was pretty dead boring. Three was better but not by much.
ReplyDeleteThat is a weird night. :o I totally get that thing about waking up and having no idea what universe you're in...
