Skunk

I had a couple of clear dreams earlier this week.

A: Several friends were hanging out in my kitchen. tahnan, in the voice he uses for such bon mots, responded to someone else by saying "You know, if Peter Jackson were here, he'd be lord of himself." This was hilariously funny in whatever the context was.

I think this is the second time I've blogged about dreams where tahnan says things that are (to me alone) parodies of how he talks in real life.

People were helping themselves to milk from my refrigerator, and I was surprised that it wasn't spoiled. You can interpret this in all sorts of scandalous ways but I think it's actually me being sad about how my fridge needs a good cleaning.

B: I had a paper bag full of little snacky goodies, and was trudging through the wilderness, trying to make it home with them. But a skunk was following me; it wanted the goodies. I couldn't shake it off, and I was afraid it would attack me. At least twice I tried sacrificing one of the goodies, tossing it to the ground, and the skunk would go after it and start pawing at it... but when I got moving again it would abandon it and follow me again.

It was quite disturbing.

Fool and his Money - Holy Crap

As I write this, Cliff Johnson is about to let The Fool and his Money's countdown clock, seen on his homepage, drop below seven days.

There's also a preview of the CD artwork and an animation that flips through several game screenshots. It looks like, after three years of delays, he's finally ready to ship the game! Very cool.

(He emailed all the pre-order holders recently, myself included, to confirm their shipping addresses, but since he did the same thing a year ago I didn't put much stock into it as a sign of progress.)

I still think he should have taken the damn clock down after the second or third time he rewound it.

Anyway, between this, the Wii and BattleLore, December is looking to be the most huge and varied month of awesome game acquisition in my life so far.
