Lost Hour Found (somewhat trashed)
Mar. 25th, 2012 10:29 amWeird dream last night (well a swift one anyway) amalgam of elements; subways, metro cars, a sword wielding Amélie Nothomb (le sigh) and some stuff about finding Joan of Arc (who looked suspiciously like Élodie Bouchez (sans Bangalter ala Clubbed to Death not Alias, well maybe a bit...) and mistaking the phrase Jean d'Arc for Gendarme and some hokey supernatural action run-around supposedly only happening in the lost hour when clocks change.
It was so very dumb, trashy and - fun actually.
i remember being oh so British and waving a long receipt at an unimpressed Ms Nothomb and explaining that it was a tally of all the hours swiped from me by British Summer Time so that when i get to the pearly gates i can demand they reimburse me or give me an extension.
Apart from spotting all the scenery swiped from Buffy, Bulletproof Monk, Nightwatch, Jacob's Ladder, Un Lun Dun, Neverwhere, Uncle Tom Cobblers and all - it was a clear case of riffing from conversations online... which is rare in what passes for wytchdreaming.
And the moral?
Clearly i need to go read Nothomb's latest novel - yes, yes, i have literary groupie guilt!
and sorry Alicia!
