ellarien: black tile dragon (dragon)
They have a new line of expensive tchotkes in the campus bookstore; dragons. These, though, are extremely cute, colorful, glittery dragons in quasi-realistic resin sculpture; baby dragons hatching out of eggs; a momma with a clutch of eggs and one teeny-tiny baby sitting up in its shell and flapping its wings. In other words, they're wish-fulfillment dragons. I was at first entranced and then vaguely disturbed by them, when I realized how disneyfied they were. They seem a little fragile for dorm rooms or kids' rooms, too, so I'm not sure what the target market is.

Mission Statement

Reading, writing, plant photography, and the small details of my life, with digressions into science and computing.
