dreams
I had a fantabulous dream last night, one of those that I actually thought, while dreaming "I MUST remember this!" and I have, mostly :) There were 3 people, 2 men and a woman. The woman is the shadowiest figure, because at times I was the woman and at times, she was a separate character. The men, however, I can remember clearly. One was a guy who had been working for whomever we worked for for a while, the other was a new guy who had just been brought in. There was a bit of rivalry because new boy had been more places and had way more experience than the guy who'd been there a long time. The kicker is, both guys were, well, not robots, but some form of androids/x-men type enhanced human beans.
All three of us worked for some shadowy agency, that seemed to be involved in some sort of anti-espionage or anti-crime work, but we weren't police. We were official but not MI5 or anything like that. Heh. New Avengers, mebbe :D Anyway, we did good work in the dream, bugging a hotel room and tracking the bad guy through, bizarrely, my old home town of Dunstable. I have no idea what the bad guy had done but I do know we got our man :)
Even when I was asleep, I was thinking this was a great concept and I should remember it. I've been pondering it on and off all day and I'm not so sure about the concept now, but it was a lot of fun to dream about :)
Talking of dreams, I am SO going to bed once the football is done. I can barely keep my eyes open. Like an idiot, I stayed up too late last night and then compounded the felony by reading for an hour (new book! 's really good!*) when I got to bed. I never learn :P
* "The Janissary Tree" by Jason Goodwin. Just won an Edgar. It's a historical mystery, featuring Yashim the eunuch, who lives in 19th century Instanbul. The setting is superb - historical Constantinople has fascinated me ever since I read "Pawns in Frankincense" by Dorothy Dunnett and the Jester novels "Jester Leaps In" and "A Death in the Venetian Quarter" just aided and abetted that interest. I'm liking the character of Yashim so far, although we, the readers, are still learning about him. The mystery is promising to be very twisty indeed. I'll post a proper review when I'm done :)
