Bleh. Minor, minor, but really rather surreal dream crapped out on me memory wise before I could really grab on to much (besides space monk dudes sacrificing themselves to maintain some kind of forcefield against space, I guess. It was one of about three planets visited during the dream.), which is particularly depressing/annoying in this case 'cause my brain was composing again. All I can remember is a partial lyric remnant that goes <something> <something> "with their bones". Dum da dum da with their bones, dumdada dumdada with their bones.

Then there was other bits, it was majestic and morose and I think about noble sacrifice and now it's pretty much all gone. Blaargh.

creepy.

A few months ago I had a dream that consisted of the last 15 minutes of an first in a series of fantasy movies that finished a number of plot elements that had been developing throughout... The problem is that the dream did not include any of the buildup to that point.

Basically there were two young male hero's trying to save a corrupt city from the "Dogs of War", an undefined but unstoppable force of supernatural destruction. To this end they must destroy evidence of the crimes committed by the nobles who run the city, while also trying to defeat those same corrupt nobles. One of the heroes was a young boy cursed with some kind of necromantic/telekinetic power over dead bones. This boy used his power to draw the bones of thousands of children from the swamps surrounding the city and pile them against the walls, to be burned and destroyed. This boy did not tell his friend that in order to fulfill their mission, that he would also have to be sacrificed.

Dramatic scene occurs, the older boy, some kind of squire or wannabe knight who spent most of the movie befriending and protecting the young necromancer refuses to burn his friend who is has by now buried himself neck deep in the bones of the dead. Now the corrupt noble walks into the scene, dramatic fight occurs. The young protector manages to get in one good hit, that cracks his ribs but is ultimately stopped by the armor. The young protector looses the fight, badly, getting run through the stomach and falls to the floor dieing. As the evil noble raises his sword to land the finishing blow, the necromancer rises and rips the broken ribs out of his foe, shredding his organs with it.

The movie ends with the young necromancer loading his barely living friend onto a camel and leading a caravan of orphans and other rifraf out of the city as it burns in the background. The city is still doomed, but maybe they will find a way to defeat the "Dogs of War" in the next movie/season/whatever.

The problem is... I have no idea how this whole thing started, who these people were, what was the deal with the bones, just what are the dogs of war and why are they so feared by the hero's but not the villains, or even what plots got resolved, or why this felt like such an awesome and satisfying scene.

I read that as, "it was majestic and moose", Frumpy.

... Just putting that out there.
You mean, "majestic and møøse".

Found out that, if worst comes to worst, I won't be able to start training until next week. This could mean 6 more days of sitting in a hotel room with no entertainment (save food) within 5 miles.
The only bright side is that I'm still getting paid while sitting around.

Can't believe how distraught I am over Giant Bomb co-founder/Gamespot veteran Ryan Davis passing away last week after his wedding :< I'll never get to meet the man in person but he has made me happy so many times via podcasts, videos, twitter nonsense, etcetera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzhHCOQntZg

Dang it people I take EVERYTHING seriously!

Everyday, I am starting to stop myself from starting a serious argument, but hopefully I never do.

You're hoping you never start to stop yourself from starting an argument?

No I mean I hope I don't fail to stop myself from starting a serious argument.

I just need to sit back and control my emotions and remember that usually people are just in a bad mood or don't understand my writing.

The nausea might be because it's a dairy product, not everyone deals with dairy very well (personally I have a digestive system that can take buckets of it without issues, but I am not everyone).

Also I shut down my DFMP/DFTerm server for RAM usage and VAC concerns... again.
You get nauseous from ice cream!?

I don't even get brain freeze! (instead, I get nose-freeze.)

4 cones.

... how many scoops per cone? And I guess how large the scoop...

Because, like. I eat cones, sometimes. Just cones. No ice cream involved. Some ice cream cones are delicious snacks even without the ice cream.

Frumple that's like having two slices of bread instead of a sandwich.
