Attraction and Repulsion
Fri, Apr. 30th, 2010 07:40 I'm up early because a friend's house is getting emergency repairs against last Saturday's storm, and I'm the contact person in case it's worse than it looked from the ground.
This morning I was dreaming about magnets. Different shapes and strengths, all in large quantities, each small enough that a bunch of the same style would fit in my hand at one time. I kept finding these magnets mixed in with other things, and sorting them out to add to my inventory, because I had to solve a "how to fix the chair" puzzle and a "how to sneak past that amateur golfing-as-combat class without breaking any of the glass statuary" puzzle.
Apparently I play an awful lot of puzzle-based games. You'd think I'd be dreaming about the guy who tried to murder me back on the 17th, or at least about trying to control a vehicle in adverse conditions, but nooooo: I'm dreaming puzzle-solving games, almost entirely on foot.
And even in the dreams, I'm so tired that what I really want is just to go to sleep. I have to solve these puzzles to accomplish a Major Goal so that I will have the liberty of taking a nap.
