winter: (portraits - desire)
I stayed up until 3AM today, reading a rather neat book about tragic Napoleonic soldiers, one of whom has a nervous breakdown and attempts suicide via challenging the other to a duel and shooting to the side. For some reason, this doesn't work, but the commander decides that Soldier 1 is a disgrace and should be killed, and then Soldiers 1&2 run away and go home. In the middle of Russian winter. Lots of sublimated homoerotic desire complete with erotic dreams about impaling, but then the author wussed out and had Soldier 1 die of consumption, leaving Soldier 2 to boink Soldier 1's sister. Drat.

And then for some reason I had a nightmare that I was somewhere in the city centre, very hungry, but whenever I came into any establishment that was serving salad, it was just closing down, and all the other places only sold burgers and chips, which my diet doesn't allow me to eat.

The diet may be influencing my brain a little.

EDIT: Female Parental Unit has her nose buried in Coldfire and loudly declared that Gerald is a bastard after reading the prologue, but since she now got to the bit where Gerald and Damien meet, I think her opinion of my favourite immortal vampire sorcerer may be changing soon >:)
