I've been having weird dreams lately. Waking up briefly in the night over peculiar thoughts and possible auditory hallucinations of the cat harking up something (actually, those are kind of realistic, since Cleo has been sick for a couple of days - I jokingly tell him that bulimia is not cool, especially if he's trying to get onto the bag of Trader Joe's cat kibble) - or strange dreams of young kids standing around, singing along with The Dandy Warhols' "Not If You Were The Last Junkie". (Most definitely not a kids song ... that's for sure. But it would make for one hell of a KidzBop compliation, wouldn't it?... *evil thoughts*)


Anyways, speaking of animals, I'm indulging my geek and attention-deficit sides by reading both Watership Down by Richard Adams (never got to read it in high school ... that was reserved for the Honors kids) and a book on Epilepsy written by Orrin Devinsky, M.D. (I can't recall the exact title) pretty much at the same time.

Basically, it entails reading one book for a while, putting it down, then going onto the next book and reading it for a chapter or so, vacillating between the two until I'm finished with both books.

I've started a new journal - a place where I can explore (and exorcise) the darker aspects of my being and mind, without seeming to alienate everyone. This way, those that actually want to read that sort of thing (all 4 or 5 of you ... heh) can do so, and the rest don't have to read it. :-)

It's 13_steps, named for an Elvis Costello song ("13 Steps Lead Down") and I hope to get a few entries in there soon.
