Strange things
I wish I could let you all into my head sometimes.
I had the most amazing dream the other night, and there's no way of really getting it across in just words. I keep remembering little flashes of it, but because of the dream aspect, they wouldn't make much sense as a narrative. The basic premise (which made total dream sense, you know how it is) was that this was a new TV show about a spaceship crew, and it was populated by people from canceled shows. But I don't remember all the people because some of them were from shows I'd never watched. (I'm generous and unselfish that way, giving employment to folks from other people's fandoms.)
The highlight was when someone handed me a small leather box with a snap-together rim like a case for eyeglasses. The tooling was a little worn across the highlights, I remember, as if it had been in use a long time. Inside was a disc, a little bigger than a silver dollar, with a edged rim (like on a dime). It was clear but dark except for a few little flickers of light from chips or something inside.
The disc was the consciousness of the woman who was going to be the captain of our ship. She had died in action somewhere, and this was how they were bringing her back. When I put the disc in a hole on the console, all of a sudden the ship shook all over and the lights all went in a series of big noisy flashes, FOOM! FOOM! FOOM! And then she made an inspiring speech about wishing she had a body so she could be right there with us all on our mission.
And then I woke up.
I don't know if it had anything to do with waking up in the night from being bitten by a spider. Which really did happen and wasn't a dream, as I now have a hard itchy bump on my arm which is annoying.
Even more annoying is the news I read on LJ yesterday that they are canceling Dead Like Me. I watch hardly ANY TV shows, I don't think it's too much to ask that they leave on the ones I like. I did also read today that maybe they won't cancel it...so maybe I am being all annoyed for nothing. None of the DLM characters would be much use at all on a spaceship, so really, I think they should keep the show running.
I have done a teeny smidge of catching up on LJ, plus I am making big strides in rearranging the kitchen cupboards and Other Useful Things. More anon.
