Crazy Dreams, Bad Film and Going to Con

featherynscaleCrazy dreams last night and very frustrating. Lugh was trying to tell me something, and every time he got round to making the point, something would happen so that I couldn't hear, or he couldn't say it, or something. The interruptions ranged from things like my cellphone ringing and people coming into the room to things like cars outside the window crashing, or the sudden appearance of a television on which Animal-Planet type people were about to demonstrate something about elephant penises. I blame Super Roommate J for this last, since he was up and clicking the internet when I went to bed, with one of the last things I saw him finding involved mating rhinos. Anyway. I'd consider this inauspicious, except that usually either a) Lugh doesn't talk to me or b) I have no understanding that Lugh is talking to me, so this might actually denote some sort of odd progress. Probably some sort of divination is in order, to see what might be going on there.
In other news, we saw Underworld Evolution yesterday, as part of our Transylvanian Sunday. We figured it was Transylvanian Sunday because the two largest agenda items were a vampire movie and a Unitarian Universalist service, and vampires and Unitarians both come from Transylvania. It's true. You can look it up. The film was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be, but that still left plenty of room for it to be plenty bad. We did learn a number of things by seeing it, though, namely that 1) vampires and werewolves are coated with Teflon and therefore are able to completely remove troublesome blood, dirt, and even latex paint simply by shrugging; 2) Chalk drawings last for hundreds of years in damp caverns; and 3) Derek Jacobi is a Secret Chief of All Existence.
Speaking of Secret Chiefs,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
triadruid and I are currently working on an adaptation of Steve Jackson's Illuminati card game which will include Mafia elements and be playable in the mafiascum forums. This has caused us at several points over the weekend to excitedly jump up and say things like "No, the Orbital Mind Control Lasers totally overcome resistance to recruitment!" and "There's no room for Masonry in this game....wait.", and "Yeah, they're wanna-be Illuminati", which has caused much amusement in Super Roommate J and much shaking of kittenpants' head.
And, speaking of games, we registered for DragonCon and reserved a room. Whatever else happens, we figure, we're going to Con again this year. Figuring that out this early in the scheme of things means that 1) we can still get a room in a host hotel (which we have) and 2) we can be excited about it for a really long time in advance. So, I apologize if that gets on anybody's nerves.
