• Hmmm, had a really short dream last night with some odd images. There’d been a war, but society was rebuilding. Some places were better than others. Electricity had been restored in some places. There was a very odd apartment building that had sections which twisted and spun about to rearrange itself. Must have been a pain for the people who lived there. heh

  
  

  There were some great Gothic cathedrals. I may not be Christian, but I really admire the architecture of the great old Churches. If I ever get to own my own bookstore, I want to buy a church and build my bookstore inside. I think I’ll call it Candace’s Opiate. (I wonder how many will get the joke… I also wonder how many people will come in looking for drugs! lol)

  
  

  There were also huge skyscrapers in the dream reminiscent of the Twin Towers, so perhaps this was a dream commentary on the capture of Saddam?

  
  

  The dream ended with these cobble stone roads arcing through the air, but in many places they had collapsed and been cemented back together. Still they sagged. People walked over them without seeming to notice, but I was scared to death it would all collapse while I was on it.

  
  

  Hmmm, the more I think about it, the more I think this dream was a commentary on our current political situation. Everyone who believes what the media feeds them is probably thinking, “Oh Whoopie! Bush caught Hussein. Yay!” And I’m sitting here thinking, no he didn’t. Soldiers caught the old ba$tard and what does that change? There’s never any closure. Someone, somewhere, would be more than willing to take the sociopath’s place.

  After many months, I finally updated the comic links section and the feature sections at Poesy Comics. Shocker, I know. I hadn’t updated in two months! Those unfamiliar with my comic will find a long list of comics I read on my comic links page. As for my feature page, I try to feature a Lovecraftian/mythos related site at least once a month. This is because Arkana, my weekly horror comic, is a Mythos comic. Speaking of which, Arkana also updated today, and I just have to say, I’ve really improved since I first started drawing it.

  This week’s Ancient Whispers Newsletter is dedicated to Yule. I hope everyone is ready for the holiday. (I know I’m ready for the shopping season to be done. Some one shoot me -I can’t take working at the mall any more! lol)

  
  

   

  
  

  This week’s Article explains the Yule holiday, and this week’s Yule crafts are suitable for children and adults. I’ve gathered some really yummy looking recipe links as well in the Sites of Interest. The Tools of the Trade articles will resume next week. Everyone have a great Yule.
