Dreamer Easy

John Simm sex dream #2. Much of which was exciting Life on Mars action in the style of a video game, with Sam Tyler and self doing kung fu vs villain on unicycle. (Sam shot at baddies' car while shouting "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Bunch of tough-looking guys arrive while we're under siege and I ask him "Ours or theirs"? "Ours," he replies, and we are saved.) Tragic romance involved incredibly complex thing where Mr Simm could turn into his sister (?!) whom it turned out my brother had once dated. But we both knew it was doomed because this couldn't possibly be real. Broken-hearted, I was driven home by my dad in an awesome red convertible (after the usual dreamly public transport difficulties).

WHERE THE BLOODY HELL WAS MR GLENISTER DURING ALL THIS I ASK YOU?! *bangs brane in hopes of getting it working properly*

The sleep doctor explained that antidepressants push your REM sleep closer to morning, which is why you remember all this malarkey in such vivid detail.

I MAY NEVER STOP LAUGHING

The weird thing is, that actually doesn't look too terrible. When it comes out, I'll give it a try.

I dreamed that Gene slept with Annie and then got busted by Mrs Hunt. Who was in our bed, hiding, as they tried to tip-toe out of the house. He was most remorseful.

The Aspie Dilemma. Another mean, mean column from 101 Reasons To Stop Writing, which includes this suggestion: "Kids, it's time to not only to use Occam's Razor as a diagnostic tool, but to wave it over our heads, howling "Blood and souls for my lord Arioch!" at the tops of our lungs."

More on writing: Strange Horizons lists Horror Stories We've Seen Too Often. (Possibly they've been watching Torchwood.)

From alivicwil: Australian politics icons.

lozenger8 explains how she fell for Philip Glenister in Hornblower, where he also caught my attention many moons before LOM.

Check out just one of the awesome things that off_coloratura is capable of knitting.

What a Wonderful World illustrated with awesome shadow puppets.

Why Women Love DCI Hunt - the most intelligent analysis of the character I've yet seen in a British newspaper. OK, admittedly, the only intelligent analysis. Like Alf Garnett before him, a lot of British bigots haven't worked out that we're supposed to laugh at Gene as well as with him.

The Australian Democrats oppose nuclear industry for Australia. With luck, the NIMBY factor will help put the brakes on it.

Where Australia is up to with RU486.

A beauteous orange kitty.

Somebody please write some Doctor/Karl for kindkit!

An amusing recap of the first Torchwood story. Good grief, GDL does look a little bit like Quentin Tarantino.

A fanmade video parody of The Five Doctors which is beyond my ability to describe. (This link is for part 2, which is even more boggling than the first bit, especially the bit with the rock flying around.)

Yet more rubbish later on, probably. I have to go post a bunch of links in seeingred. But first, food.

Please allow me to be (no doubt) the one millionth Life on Mars fan to note the incorporation of this classic funny cat video into Season 1. You know the scene I mean.

Enjoyed the second ep of Life on Mars. The not-at-all-slashy fight in the hospital room was the highlight. Hunt gives me Ripley flashbacks.

Mum loaned me Ready When You Are, Mr McGill, a film about a TV shoot, which is a Brit actor-spotting feast (about half the cast of Green Wing is in it, as well as "Shake me up, Judy" from Bleak House (was in Nice Town with Paul McGann), as well as amusing (but where's the shoot's security?).

I want to do some sort of animated database thing which produces a cloud of actor photos and lines coming off them to their various productions, to help with playing Six Degrees of Timelash. (Tamsin Grieg (or Tom Courtenay) -> Christopher Eccleston -> David Tennant -> Paul Darrow.)
