Huh... and now I dream about pseudo-computer-game elizabethan space pirates. With over the top glittery costumes & accessories (but modern tinsel instead of real cloth of gold) and trying to plot how to rescue some satellite colony from evil alien invaders without wiping out the population (not very piratical, really.) And then I dreamed that I woke up and my bed was large and covered in gold brocade blankets and piled with various flashy treasures and I was confused as to why I couldn't actually get up, since I thought I was awake.

Oh, and there was the bit about excavating a long building in a complex associated with canal boats, which was actually the back of a working tea room and museum. And the bit about renting part of a fascinating old house in Oberlin with grauwulf and going to all the restaurants listed in some student guide that required a car to drive to, because I'd heard about them, but never been, because I didn't have a car in college.

All in all, I suppose it isn't particularly surprising that I was wandering around half-asleep most of yesterday, and woke up today with a headache. Phoey.

Feeling very bleh today, and this weekend is *not* going to be restful. About the only thing I accomplished was taking proper pictures of Lady in her 70s dress:

( these are my favorites: )

Also, I called and tried to order the custom eyes for the Beryl-creature (there was a picture of what she's been up to, but it was too badly out of focus even for me) and the people from the actual eye department had just left for the evening, so final word not until tomorrow, but it may not be possible to do the barred-pupil style eye in a smaller size. Bah upon them.
