I figured for once I'd remember to post a weird dream...

I have tons of weird dreams, but I usually forget to post them. Odd that. Anyway, last night I was the Baroness de V__________ (something Russian sounding). I was aware that I was a vampire and I was wearing a white dress with small black polka dots in a late Victorian style. I was in a nice library (looked like a cross between the Scottish Ntl Library and the Humanities library in NYC) and doing research on something important, when I was accosted by Johnny Depp (though that wasn't his name) who I knew was a werewolf despite never meeting him before. He was wearing black period costume and a very ruffly white shirt (think Sleepy Hollow, only a bit earlier...) and proceeded to insult my fashion sense *L* Saying that while his black was appropriate, my white polka dot ensemble was just putting on airs. I pointed out that out of the two of us, I had the title. Which just made him smirk and point out that I wasn't going to get anywhere by doing research, and that I had to go __________ (somewhere).

He left, and after a bit of deliberation, I called my servants to me (they were like three Japanese ninja retainers, only not so obviously ninjas since they looked like an old man, his son and his daughter) and we set off. We visited three different places, and at each place I suceeded in my goal, but I was also punished cause each time one of my servants was killed/eaten, and all that was left of them was a bloody pile of bits and lots of seagull feathers (apparently the sea gulls were taking/eating them...). The worst was on the way back when I turned my back for a minute while we were crossing a lake in a boat, and the seagulls took the old ninja guy. Wolf guy was in the boat, only now he was played by Naveen Andrews and sarcastically pointed out I had no more minions to spare, and I pointed out that I didn't need them since we were about to reach my home.

Then I woke up too much for the dream to continue.

In other news, I will be spending the morning in a game I like to call, "Hunting for photos for dissertation that haven't been eaten by my computer".

Dissertation update

Have suceeded in obtaining pictures I needed, and an Etruscan Italy article I had to borrow from the lecturer. Dissertation goal for today is to complete chapter 2 and start in on 3. I had meant to finish chapter 2 yesterday, but I realized I needed to do the appendices first, which considering they're eight pages of data tables, took awhile. I'm actually quite enjoying writing chapter 2 since it's largely focused on the data I obtained in my research, making it a lot easier to discuss than other people's research (I always feel like I'm repeating myself when I have to review other people's literature). Will have to ban myself from the internet again, I'm afraid, but have promised myself a long LUSH influenced bath if I'll be good.

Am feeling guilty about missing Japanese class this week (and next week almost certainly), which is stupid since there's no way I can afford to be taking two hours out of my schedule for a class when I'm stressed about something else (experience has taught me that I speak largely gibberish in any foreign language while tired, though my vocabulary becomes surprisingly varied). And there's almost no way I can make next weeks since it's the wendsday before the thursday when everything is due - but I still feel guilty cause they're the last classes of the course this term. *sigh*
