Finished watching Esca last night. I think I'll have to rewatch RayEarth 2 again to decide which of their "return to Earth" endings annoys me more. OTOH, there's just something ballsy about any series that has Isaac Newton as the main villain....

Got my dreaming back last night. When I lived in Spokane when I was 12-13ish, there was a shopping center not too far from us that I remember fairly well. Aside from containing a used book store and the video rental store my mother worked at for a while, there was also a fabric store there. I don't remember which chain. But I was there last night and I went in and somehow it became a Butterick store and I was VERY happily looking through their big book of patterns, especially all the costume ones that don't get sent out to stores in general. Was writing down pattern numbers like mad as I didn't know if I'd be able to afford all I wanted (they were only 50% off). I think my subconscious is telling me I need to get back to sewing.

Woke up and my first thought was that today was going to be stifling. 's hot, and is somewhat muggy. Going to see about going to see LXG sometime this morning....

LXG: fun! Not the greatest cinematic work ever, but a fun romp through the characters of several works of literature. Best exchange (re: Dorian Gray): "What are you?!" "I'm complicated." Liked Tom Sawyer. Was somewhat shocked to discover that British fiance has NEVER read any Mark Twain works. They're such a large part of my cultural background that... well... just can't imagine never having read any of the stories. Must see about picking up the TPBs of the comic and perhaps the book of the movie as well. Skimmed pages while in the bookstore and it seemed like the author was having fun writing it and dragging in more literary works. ^^
