Gotta stop drinking the pink wine straight outta the box

Last night, third in a continuing series of Weird Dreams.

First, I dreamed that I received a revision letter for Duainfey -- OK; not so weird. But the letter indicated that Chapter Nine seemed more like the outline for whole 'nother trilogy and would I please bring it more into line with the theme of the current book.

Um, sure...

We then segued into a Star Trek/Narbonic/Girl Genius pastiche, in which AgathaHelen invented a coffee brewer that plugs into the cigarette lighter in your car (yes, I'm aware that such things exist even as I type). A man who I can only assume was Dave Davenport picked up a hitchhiker who introduced himself as "Jim Kirk". Dave proceeds to start the car and brew coffee for the two of them, whereupon "Jim Kirk" decides that this device is Far Too Precious to remain in the hands of Mere Civilians, and connives to steal Dave's car in order to deliver the coffeemaker to Star Fleet Command. He is fortunate that Dave's car has hyperspatial capability, though he does have a minor collision on take-off with an airborne tractor-trailer, but he manages to mollify the driver by brewing him a fresh cup of coffee.

So if my calculations are right

If'n chapter nine becomes a trilogy, along with the current two volumes, why before you know it you'd have a bouquet of novels. Or maybe a cornucopia? Whole lot of blooming going on, that's for sure.

Sounds like fun!

Oh, you get the GOOD dreams. I dream about going to a "trendy" club (which means there are no actual chairs or tables, just these... pillow things, and lots of pipes) to watch a Beatles tribute band, which prompts me to turn to my date and comment, "But aren't there supposed to be FOUR of them?" Worst of all, the music wasn't even any good! At one point they stared blankly at each other, clearly having forgotten the next word -- it was "Ah".

Wanna trade?

Dunno. Those tube chairs don't sound too comfy, and if it's the same Beatles tribute band that's going to be in Bangor in January...

Nuh-uh. I'll keep Jim Kirk and the flying coffeemaker.

That? Is awesome.

But weird. As you say.
