Jun. 12th, 2001 02:20 pmI slept for a long time last night, and had very strange dreams.
The one I remember most clearly had something to do with Garth Nix's book Sabriel. I don't really read "fantasy", per se, anymore, except for a few favorite authors, and I think the best fantasy these days is coming out either as Young Adult books or as plain "fiction" - I don't like stuff like Robert Jordan. Sabriel is a YA book and reminds me of Robin McKinley's old stuff. There was a sequel recently (or rather, a book with a similar title set in the same universe).
So I had this dream that I was Sabriel or a girl like her, something of a Magical Girl (yes, a la manga). My bedroom was in the upstairs of a fairly normal house, and I had these little capsules of oily slick fluid. I had to drink most of a capsule, then smear a bit on like perfume. With the last few capsules, larger than the others, I had to say some kind of mantra. At some point after finishing with the capsules, I would become an angel (which in the dream was just some kind of incredibly powerful being). People wanted to stop me from taking all these capsules, and sent various agents. One was a cat who came in through a secret panel in the closet, and so for the rest of the dream I had this sarcastic cat around (Sabriel also had a sarcastic cat who wasn't entirely what he seemed). I couldn't let him out the door of the room or into the closet or anything. I kept the secret panel closed off. I finished all the capsules. At some point, I had to leave, and Tony Soprano was helping me. I don't know what would have happened when I became an angel. I spent the rest of the dream as myself, dealing with my mother and stepfather and a bookstore, a particular bookstore that I dream about a lot and seems to exist only in my dreams. I believe I was looking for the next book! But I never found it. Oh well. It was all very interesting.
When I woke up, my mom told me that my cat has blood in his stool. I looked it up in my cat health book and it's probably nothing to worry about, and I just need to keep checking on him. He'll go to the vet tomorrow if it's still going on. Today he's having lots of soft cat food. He's normally very healthy, but he's afraid of storms, and there have been a lot over the last few days... I don't know how he has been eating or how much water he's been drinking. I do know that he's been nervous. So today he gets extra-special treatment and we'll see how he feels tomorrow. He doesn't look sick and isn't acting like he feels under the weather.
My mother's test results came back and they can't find anything, so now she needs to get a tissue biopsy. She's supposedly going to go get her health insurance card today. *sigh*
Me, I'm just chillin'. I'll work on the desk a little, later.
