i have this old, old bedside table lamp that i've had as long as i can remember. i think my father made it for me, but if so, it was because my mom told him exactly what to make and how it should look.
it's in the shape of a lion, and it's clearly designed for a child. it's wood and it has a cloth tail. i remember once i took it under my bed with a friend so we could see what we were doing, and because the shade wouldn't fit, we were basically swinging a bare buld around. that's how i got a light bulb burn on my cheek. it hurt!
anyway, last night i dreamed that i was at leakey's house and i saw that there were actually several of these lamps around. i had no idea that there was more than one, but it turned out that they were all over the place. i was kind of mad that i didn't know this before, and i had the urge to compare them all to see which one was the best one -- maybe the one i had wasn't very good.
