The Wild Life and Times of a Botanical Geek

Just as I was flopping into bed last night, I was struck by an idea for a short short story. I had the character, the subject, where it would end up, everything needed to hammer it out, and I was ready to do it. But, it was rather late, and I needed to get to bed, else I would risk messing up my sleep schedule and being the walking dead today. I wasn't really inclined to wander around the house wishing we weren't fresh out of canned brains, so I figured, hey, I'm fairly motivated, so I can pick it up today.

Cue sleep and dreams of being in a race/scavenger hunt involving lots of hanging on ropes and rooting through gardens and having to give a yellow-orange striped carnation to someone which seemed to be a knight-type ritual where the person was supposed to act as my lady, or something. I don't get it either.

Maybe the race tired me out, but I woke up today with little/no motivation to do this story thing. ARGH. I guess my night-owl tendencies got the better of me. Maybe I can work myself up to do it later.

You know you've got a sleeping problem/have bad sleeping habits when: When you actually do sleep, you have dreams that basically involve you saying to yourself, "Gee, I really, really need to get some sleep. I am so low on it. Hey, look how late it is! I'm going to be so beat in the morning." That's a funny little loop, there. XD I know it was a dream because the last time I checked, I wasn't living in a hotel room in the bottom of a skyscraper.

On a slightly different note, I've been seeing a lot of ads on TV for a new series called "Eureka". It looks intriguing. I think I may have to watch a couple of eps when it starts and see how it is. Does anyone else that's seen the previews have any thoughts on it?

What does it mean when one dreams of a game wherein the playing field is like that of ice hockey (with ice and everything), but the rules and the way the game proceeds are like that of polo, with the players riding on camels?
