Coughing so hard you throw up sucks.

Relaxing at home...

And steampunk makes an appearance at last...

This morning I had an awesomely fantastic dream... That for once (in the history of my awesomely fantastic dreams) was not about Doctor Who.

There wasn't much *to* my dream... I mean, it had no plot... And it was actually borderline a really terrifying nightmare... But it was COOL!

So in my dream, it was around the turn of the century... Very Victorian-esque. And I was living in London... Which was suffering from an invasion of...


Wait for it...





Vampires.

Not the sparkling, 21st century revised vampires... Or the futuristic "turn into creepy bat-things if they don't have human blood to drink" -kind.


No. I'm talking about an army of Bram Stoker, Gothic romance type vampires... Invading the city of London. Ready to consume ALL. No one is safe.

Not even me.

Oh, sorry... I suppose I should mention my profession...





In my dream I'm a vampire hunter. I guess a pretty good one, even though in my dream I am wearing the epitome of Victorian-era ladies fashion. (Bustle, corset, petticoats, the lot.) I have crossbow and a little suitcase of wooden stakes.

And I live in a posh apartment and also have a highly successful, vampire hunting boyfriend.







Who happens to be Hugh Freaking-Jackman.



I am not kidding folks. I had a dream that I was a vampire hunter in Victorian England, and Hugh Jackman was my boyfriend.

Rest assured that the almost-nightmare part was in no way a result of my relationship status. It was due to the impending DOOM of the invading vampires. It was one of those "wait for it to jump around the corner and SCARE you" -type dreams. I just never got to that part. Because the theme from Lord of the Rings started playing on my phone and I woke up.



Also, I feel you should know:

-I have only seen League of Extraordinary Gentlemen once, 4.5 years ago.
-I have never seen the movie Van Helsing. What put Van Helsing into my brain was THIS post on "Not Always Right" and I thought: "Wait. Hugh Jackman is in Van Helsing??? Since WHEN?! How did I miss this???"
-I also have never read Dracula. Or really seen any of the Dracula-related movies.

Subconscious brains do weeeeeeiiiird, but sometime awwwwwwwwesome things!

Feeling nostalgic...

It's snowy nights like these that fondly remind me of freshman year.... Opening the window in the bathroom (the one with the broken lock and no screen) and leaning out over the heater with Rachel V. while we brushed our teeth together... There was something kind of novel about hanging out a window at 12am, watching the snowfall... The cold made the toothpaste extra minty. :-)


And who else brushes their teeth while hanging out a window? :-)
