I dislike deceptive weather, it can look nice and sunny from the window but go outside and it's cold and windy. Drear is a good word. 'In a Drear-nighted December' is the title of a poem by Keats, the poem itself not that memorable, or liked, other than the title.

The ebay listing for the ARC of 'Blood Oranges' quickly got out of my price range but I did win an ebay listing from Poppy Z. Brite, the book 'Wrong Things.' It's an early Christmas gift to myself and I am happy.

Sunlight! Hold the presses, Mr. Poe. Whoops.

Days can be sunny and drear I've had those.

I dreamed of you last night. You were in some kind of theater production with a storytelling frame: I came to see you. I was woken abruptly and the rest drained out of my head, but I remember hanging out backstage. When you have time again, we should go to plays.

We should. And will. And you need to recall the rest of that dream.
