yaaaaawn

Still SOOO tired. Had this absolutely ridiculous dream last night, wherein I was supposedly a vampire, though I can't recall any specifically vampiric activities (let alone how I became one, which might have actually been interesting...;P). All I know is that I told my sister, who thought it was cool (she wanted to see my fangs... LOL), but went to great lengths to hide the fact from my parents. Anyway... the dream was extremely complicated, plotty and multilayered, but as it usually happens with such dreams, I couldn't remember a damned thing when I woke up.:/ Just this general feeling of complexity and intrigue... I think there might have been a number of alternate universes in the dream that I kept moving between, somehow. I get this notion that I was perhaps escaping from one universe to another, to avoid punishment for some terrible crimes (of which, fortunately, I also have no recollection). Or maybe some vampire hunters were after me.:D Anyway, the whole thing lasted no more than an hour (I woke up from it about an hour after I'd first fallen asleep), but felt like several lifetimes cramped into one. Too much fanfiction, you think?... *amused headshake*

Speaking of fanfiction - my latest favorite quote goes something like this: "his eyes were a dark violet blue, the color of lust". I tend to get random quotes stuck in my brain, especially when I devour as much fanfic on a daily basis as I do now. I should post a "quote of the week" series or something.;P

Crap... my brain has decided to shut down for the night. I need SLEEEEEP...

mundane musings of a bargain queen ;)

Wow. My Christmas shopping is done already. Well... most of it, anyway. The Polish bookstore where I always get gifts for my mom (she always wants books, and she doesn't read in English) had a major sale today, and I bought her three novels at a very nice discount. And that was really the only place I needed to visit in person. I ordered all my other gifts online. Moreover - smart girl that I am - I had them shipped directly to my parents' house. So that all I will need to do on Christmas Eve is change the packaging.;) Actually, my sister's gift, which is an art book from her Amazon wishlist, will come nicely wrapped already. So I really made it easy for myself this year.:P Incidentally, I also made it easy for everyone else, since I told them exactly what I want.:D My dad is getting me a new printer/scanner/copier, since my old one isn't working anymore (I've had it since 2003). Mom is getting me a new electric kettle (again, the old one is starting to act wonky, and I am ALWAYS making tea, so an operational kettle is a must). And my sister has a choice between two things: the new Lacrimosa album, which just came out in October (perfect timing, non?...), or Claudia's Story - a graphic novel based on Interview with the Vampire, which came out a little earlier this year. I am secretly hoping she will get me both.;) Actually, my fingers were really itching to order that Lacrimosa CD as soon as I found out about it - I've seen some gushing reviews on Amazon - but since last year I bought my sister the new album of a Polish rock band we both love, I thought it fitting that this time she should return the gift of music, so to speak. Now I just need to curb my excitement for a few more weeks...
