Post in which I reference both Pat Sajak & Harrison Ford

I think I had a dream about a puppet that looked like Pat Sajak. I'm certain this was creepy & unpleasant. It's possible his face appeared in a partially melted stick of butter. I suspect this dream means I should be more aware of reversals of fortune, but I'm way overdue for an upswing, anyway. Hah. Recent tarot readings suggest I will find security & succeed in overcoming certain obstacles. I am my own worst enemy. I am held back by my own fears & etc...

I have yet to figure out ways to be hella organized & astoundingly awesome. Basically, this means that I need to scrub my shower & clean out the fridge. I made my favorite salad for lunch today (roasted pears & arugula!) and ate a smidge too much because I have no self control & besides it was salad. Salad is like free calories. Eat as much as you want. I like to pretend this salad does not contain highly caloric ingredients like toasted pecans and salty slivers of fancy cheese. After all, these things are garnishes. Garnishes do not count.

I am hoping to finish reading submissions for blossombones over the next week or two. I'm about halfway through the subs (plus there are a few I'm holding on to for a second reading). Writerly things keep slipping into future time. I'm attending to life's minutiae. I wish someone would come over and make me a lasagna. With spinach. I like spinach.

I took Z to a job interview today & I waited for him in the car. I heard two songs that appeared in The Wedding Singer & I wasn't even listening to the 80s station.

Last night I tried for the millionth time to get M to watch Blade Runner. And he fell asleep. As always.

Man, Harrison Ford was all kinds of hotness in the 80s before he was a smarmy old man with a creepy-ass diamond earring. I am going to pretend they are two different people.

You need to share that recipe. Rucola is my favorite vegetable.
I have never seen Blade Runner either, despite focused attempts.

Aha! Recipe forthcoming. Maybe even a pretty picture of salad...

I love Blade Runner. If you can get through the movie, though, Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is a fabulous book. Have you read it?

Susan said...

Oh! I meant to say "If you *can't* get through the movie :)

I haven't read that, or any Philip Dick. There are a lot of people whose reading opinions I respect, however, who swoon for him. I just don't have much appetite for Sci-fi books, despite wanting to have an appetite for Sci-fi books. Movies I can do.

Oooh, I kinda see what you mean about Harrison Ford.

People keep telling me about Philip K. Dick, too, and now a college buddy is going to send me a box of them!

I read science fiction for a few years as a teen, and then Mary Doria Russell's two books. But there's something about Dick, I hear.
