The power is back on. We were without for the past 2 days. I can't say how much that sucked. Though it was enlightening on just how much a part of daily life electronics are. I mean, I didn't know what to do when the only entertainment available was reading by candlelight, and it was too cold for me to do much that was useful. It was kind of like ( Read more... )

Huh? What happened to the power? Glad it's back on.

Nasty windstorms. Took out power for about 40K homes around here. First thing I did when I got home was load up the old Snap song and danced around yelling "I've got the powa!" :)

Ah, yeah I totally believe you.

Re: story. A tapestry that was actually a woman but was really a bird. I love dreams. Usually those stories don't end quite as happily for any of the characters. Maybe you've achieved some kind of breakthrough in interdimensional diplomacy...

Re: comic. Sounds like shenanigans that could tend to occur around you and friends (or more likely because of).

The backstory being, she was a swan maiden, basically. Only not a swan. (Red tailed Hawk at first, then Falcon by the end) As the stories classically go, when the swan maiden takes off her coat of feathers to bathe, she becomes a beautiful woman. If you steal her cloak, you can trap her in this form and make her your wife. These stories always end with the maiden running off after 9 years one way or another, often to become a battle maid, and typically with tragedy in their wake. Crossover with valkyries. Crossover here with Frigga's cloak as well. Mashed up in dreams, with an ending I would prefer where I break the spell for her and maybe she hangs around for awhile in appreciation. Make it a romance rather than a tragedy.
