Sometimes I’ll have a run of bad dreams such that I then fear sleep for a bit.
On Kimbertide Day 4, I enjoyed an ice cream sandwich. For day 5, I’m playing Metroid: Zero Mission. ๐ฎ
๐ฑโโ๏ธI had a dream last night that Giles a) was real b) was still in his 40s and most importantly, c) owned a really beautiful indie bookstore. I wanted to hang out there a lot. It was in this really beautiful little city center shopping district area. Later in the dream, I discovered the whole district - the whole town, really - was embedded in a Disney resort. And I had to decide if I still loved it now that I knew it wasn’t actually indie.
Finished Stranger Things 4 and I love it so much and also will somebody just play D&D with Will already, yeesh. ๐บ
