Recap

I seem to post weekend stuff midweek. Part of that is due to putting it off and part is often due to Mondays being kind of busy.

( Pony leg update )

I finally downloaded pictures I took of the swallow and turtle nests that I referenced in an earlier post and stuck 'em on the web as well.

( More week old pictures )

This past Sunday, the baby swallows had more feathers. I counted five big mouths in there that'd open up as soon as anything moved near the nest. They're really crammed in there and I wonder how long it'll be before the more aggressive ones start shoving their siblings out of the nest.

I took some pictures of course and will eventually get 'em uploaded. I was surprised that the parents didn't put up a big fuss about the human standing by their nest taking pictures. One of them did perch up in the ceiling and chirp at me, but I wasn't dive bombed or anything.

Dream

Last night I ended up getting to bed later than I planned, partly due to WoW. A friend created a character on the server where my main is and I couldn't resist spending some time with them in Mulgore.

That had me tired enough to still be asleep when the clock radio went off this morning instead of in my usual half-awake state. The alarm woke me from a dream. Normally, I don't recall any of my dreams unless they're sufficiently disturbing or I get wakened during them. Even in this case I could only half remember the events in the dream and what I could recall faded fast. almost 1/3 of the day later, it's all a mishmash of vague images.

The dream involved a few things, but the main recurring thing was a duck. At some point there was a note on my kitchen counter that unknown person left there while I was out that just read "Such a messy apartment" (obviously related to the fact that my place is a big sty right now and needs a real cleaning/uncluttering). The duck seemed to be the thread that held the various events together. Somehow I ended up with a smallish white and grey duck about the size of a mallard. I think it somehow ended up in my posession and being my responsibility while I was in some random parking lot. Part of the dream involved the terrible responsibility of having the duck. Part of it involved having to take the duck everywhere with me as well as knowing that I really needed to transport the duck to some important destination.

Now the messy apartment thing I can understand. The place needs cleaning so my brain dredged that up. As for the duck and the seriousness and urgency of being the one responsible for it, I dunno.

My brain is just a very strange place.
