Outer planets

A while back I dreamt that Christy and I (who irl went off to college together) went to outer space together. There wasn’t really any travel involved, or at least not conventional travel. Instead we were viewing the planets on a screen, and stepped through the screen when the right planet came up. She chose Saturn. I chose Uranus. She was living on the surface, I think- a groundling (not really possible, but in the dream it was)- while I was in a station orbiting Uranus at low altitude. Later there was a reunion or a party of some sort, where all the outer space… cadets?… met up, and in attendance was an important and popular girl who might have been in charge of the program. That girl was spending lots of time with me, who didn’t care much either way, and pretty much ignoring Christy, who desperately wanted her attention.I thought of this dream again as last night dreamt that I was to wake up at Uranus Comet 64. I believe it was 64; the numbers might have started out at 6:15, which is the time my alarm was set to go off.Share|

 

Since last post

which was in NOVEMBER… sigh…

I’ve finished The Hundred Days, Blue at the Mizzen, and 21 by Patrick O’Brian. (21 I finished the typed part; I couldn’t make out much of the hand-written part, but it might have been because I was too emotional about it all ending!)

I’ve also read:

Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
Making & Using Dried Foods by Phyllis Hobson
Dried Flowers by Martha E. Kraska
Roots, Shoots, Buckets, and Boots by Sharon Lovejoy
The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible by Edward C. Smith
Raw Family Signature Dishes by Victoria Boutenko
Fresh by Sergei and Valya Boutenko
The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon

That, I think, covers 2009. Starting in January:

Gyn/ Ecology by Mary Daly
Sweetness and Power by Sidney W. Mintz
Raw Family by Victoria Boutenko
McGee & Stuckey’s Bountiful Container by Rose Marie Nichols McGee & Maggie Stuckey

and, currently, Amerika by Franz Kafka.

I so love Kafka. He writes such beautiful and honest nightmares.
