That bed is possibly the hardest bed in existence, with the possible exception of a plank of wood. Fortunately, the spare bedroom has some little mattress pad thingies.
Bonaire has a donkey reservation. There are places along the road where you'll see donkey crossing signs. Very cute.
I had an intensely detailed adventure dream last night. It started out as a fantasy hero story, where the protagonist was a warrior who did battle on dragonback. He rescued a princess trapped in a city where she and her mother were both about to be executed as witches. The hero rescued her, but she wouldn't marry him because he was a heathen. Turned out that the whole city worshipped a god named Yahweh.
[Side note: There is a mockingbird on the back porch watching me post. If I misspell a word, that's why!]
So in the middle of this intense, colorful, anime dream, in comes a battle between gods. (Very Matthew Stover.) The hero prince decides to meet this god, and he's ushered into the sanctuary by evil priests, where he finds a rather large, ugly stone idol.
Later in the dream, he sneaks back into the sanctuary to speak to Yahweh. The idol falls down and breaks into a jillion pieces, the floor boards start rumbling, and a deep and growly voice says that the prince already worships Yahweh, because every act of compassion is an act of worship. (Very C.S. Lewis.)
Some time earlier in the dream timeline, it turned out that the hero prince was a descendent of Anakin Skywalker. Then later in the dream it turned out that the hero prince was an ancestor of King David. (Way to mix my genres.) And the whole thing started out as a dream about a video game where your icon played a chess-type thing against a Darth Vader icon, and if you won, you would find out all the details about a brand new exciting cartoon adventure set in the Star Wars universe.
And now I'm awake, and I'm still confused.
However, speaking of brand new exciting Star Wars animated series, check this out:
Tales of the New Republic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch the movie ad. There's a blue guy with glowing red eyes!
Edit: Alas, it's only a fanfilm of what might be once Star Wars animated gets off its ass and gets moving. But oh, we geeks can only hope!
