Day Off

Yay! I'm off today! Woohoo! And it's raining which means I probably get to spend the day playing "dry the cat." Heidi (the skinny terror of things furred and winged) loves playing outside in the rain and then being dried off. Then rinse and repeat. Goofy cat.
Not sure what James and I will end up doing today. I need to do some vacuuming and mop the floor, but other than that I don't have any plans. James rented a new PS2 game yesterday so I'm not sure how much coaxing it will take to get him to go somewhere away from the PS2. Probably not very much, I would just need to actually come up with something for us to do.
There is a group in the Bay Area that hosts several dance/costume events a year called PEERS. I've been wanting to go to one of their soirees for a long time, but they were always on Saturday so I had been unable to attend. November 5th will be their 12th Annual Le Bal des Vampires. James has agreed to go with me. He said it may not be his cup of tea, but would give it a try. Besides, he had been wanting for us to learn how to dance together. Here is some info about the event:

King Tut Drank Red Wine

This is an interesting article about King Tut and Ancient Wine Making. It's amazing the little details that science can sometimes uncover about the lives of people during ancient times.

A dream...

I had a dream the other night that I was outside, in the evening, walking around my neighborhood. I started trying to fly over the rooftops of my neighbors. I was doing fine with going up higher, but I was having a lot of trouble maneuvering myself forward. I lost control of it and I kept rising higher and higher till I exited the Earth's atmosphere and I was out in space hovering over the planet seeing that classic first shot of Earth from space. I thought to myself, "Too high." and went rushing back down till I was over my neighbors house again and pointed my arms in front of me and managed to fly forward.
