Now That's Better

[poliphilo]

As compensation for a couple of really rather horrible nights, a night of vivid dreams.

Things I dreamed about include: a revolutionary plastic material that miniaturised anything it was wrapped around, flying discs, a secondhand bookshop (there had to be one of those), an elaborate role-playing game from the 1930s, a collection of photographs of dead popes, a rocky beach with fossil ammonites, Rupert Murdoch's Christmas cards, a churchyard near Canterbury.

My favourite bit was where I was in a fantasy movie, playing a grizzled but amiable character in the rebel army (with a sentient loaf of bread as a sidekick) and we were flying through the digitally augmented landscapes of Kent and Sussex.

Well, Terry Pratchett had Horace, a sentient cheese, so why not indeed? :o)

I carried it around under my arm- as though it were a small pet.
