Dream Country

Last night I watched the final episode of Psychoville which was really good. That's been a really good and pretty unconventional series, mixing bizarre Gothic horror with conventional sitcom elements. It managed to be consistently pretty scary and gruesome as well as being very funny.

Also last night I started writing some of my own things again, for the first time in a couple of months, so that was pretty good.

Today I got into work at eight o'clock again this morning and, because I had built up so much time during the week. I was able to leave at around two. I got a couple of The Sandman graphic novels be Neil Gaiman. The ones that I got were Dream Country and A Game of You. The Sandman was a comic book series that ran from 1989 to 1996. The Sandman is Morpheus, the personification of Dream, and the series takes in history, fantasy universes, literature and mythology. The comics were always hugely imaginative and entertaining.

"Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot."-The Sandman written by Neil Gaiman.
