Interview Up and Weird Dreams
Mar. 19th, 2008 09:40 amCaptain America is going to come to my house and kick my a$$. I can't even remember the last time I went to the gym.... oh, yeah, sometime last week. Sheesh. I might have to revise my Captain America by... date. It might have to be 46 at this rate.
In other news, Shawn left this morning at oh-fraking-early. Unfortunately, she woke up little boy who hadn't been sleeping very well anyway thanks to having caught the horrible cold I'd brought home a few days ago. I didn't sleep very well, either. I've actually been having very weird, almost-feverish dreams involving stupid PC-games like Bejeweled and Luxor 2. Last night there was a very weird combination of those two games with pre-dinosaur animals like arthropleura. Not restful to say the least.
Mason, however, has been very sweet. Yesterday, out of the blue while we were stocking up at Rainbow Foods, he said to me, "I'm going to give you three days of being nice. All you have to do is give me is a kiss." So I gave him a kiss, and, dang if he hasn't been working really hard to keep up his end of the bargain. I have no idea what brought this on, but I couldn't be more grateful. Mason is usually a good kid, of course, but he is four and is prone to the typical four year old whine-fests and temper tantrums (think the ocassional scene from "Super Nanny"). He's been working overtime to not have as many of those. It's been awesome.
Some of you may remember when I read Farthing and Ha'Penny some months ago and said that I was planning to interview Jo Walton (
