Zoo Story

My favorite thing about sleep are those pre-sleep dreams. I know nothing of the technicalities behind them, but I absolutely am in love with these odd little dreams that pop in and out of the mind right when I'm rolling into the moments of half-sleep and half-wake. It's evidence of a beautiful moment, just being able to close your eyes and let go of your thoughts so they can swim around, free, for a while. Late last night between the pillowed support of my mattress and covers, respectfully, a thought, or more a memory, jutted into my head. I mulled over it for a while, then finally, couldn't delay my excitement any longer and sprung from the warm cocoon I had myself wrapped up in to read The Zoo Story. Those of you that have read Albee's twisted play, I'm sure, can understand why it refused to leave it's latched position in my mind. For those of you who aren't quite sure what I'm talking about, please, let me enlighten: http://www.douban.com/group/topic/7721039/

I was so glad that for some reason this ran back into my head because it's so curiously interesting. For that reason alone, I thought I'd share. If you have a spare moment, enjoy. I can ensure you won't be disappointed.
