anatomy of a dream; lion love story

[etherealbliss]

This morning, I dreamed I transported back to my house to find a mob boss taking a bath in my tub. He didn't see me, so I snuck past to hide in my dad's closet. Only I didn't count on said mob boss borrowing my dad's clothes. So he opened the door, saw me there, and hit me over the head a few times with a baseball bat or other baseball-bat-

Wah!! I cry at stuff like this lion story too... such a sap, I am...

[etherealbliss]

someday let's watch a chick flick and share a box of tissues, eh? ;)

Beware! It's a little known fact of me... I can cry at the corniest of things... even Little House on the Prairie.

omg. it made me cry too!!
awwwe.
although, it probably would have been good if he had eaten them.
either way was a good story.

[etherealbliss]

haha!! I concur.

I confess, I didn't watch the video. The kids are here and I don't feel like crying and I know I will. And explaining WHY I'm crying just sucks. *sniffle blubber* "It's just that *sniff* it's so sad and sooo *sniff* sweet *hiccup* and there's the... *sniff* oh, I can't talk about it. *cries harder*"

Annnyway, let's read that damn book together?! How far have you gotten? At different times I've gotten to the middle but recently I've gotten thru the first chapter.
It'll be a long distance summer book club, of two. :-)

awwww ! *hypothetical hug for your hypothetical crying* hee hee. :) I mean, it is a good kind of sad--and it's actually probably a video your girls would think is sweet/funny--but I understand. ;)

Our own little book club, how cute!! Right now I'm on page 153 (my second try). The first try I got a little past halfway, but now I am reading a MUCH MUCH better translation... if you are reading a generic/barnes+noble-value-bin type copy, I would reccommend starting over with a good version! I have the version translated by Pevear + Volokhonsky, and it is SO much more enjoyable. Not stuffy and overly formal at all. And several times I have stopped to re-read a phrase that seemed especially worthy--universal truths or just hard-hitting emotional stuff you can directly empathize with--whereas in the other version I had I don't remember that happening once.
Anyway, should I let you catch up? ;) I've only been reading a few pages at a time really, as it is.

Yes, I have the cheapo Barnes and Noble translation. Cuh-rap!
I'll try to get one like yours and catch up. Don't wait on me though. Just, like, make little notes to share w/ me later.

Ok, gotta go. Yummy banana bread may be burning. eek!
