Strange dream the other night. There was this crime lord who was sort of a cross between Cristopher Eccleston's character in that GI Joe movie* and Thrax from Osmosis Jones, and for whatever reason he wanted a body double of himself. He ordered a clone to be made, grown from scratch but at a much faster rate than a human. You also had to put ( Read more... )

So in 2006 Wisconsin ended up getting one of those dumb-ass anti-marriage, anti-civil-union, anti-domestic-partnership constitutional bans. I'm pretty sure this is what my "ask me why I'm voting NO on the ban" button is referring to (I could not actually vote "no," sadly, as I wasn't old enough, but my parents did). Well, I had read a while ago ( Read more... )

It occurred to me the other day that, not only do I blindly nod along to the various plots in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex while having no idea what's going on, I also don't actually know, entirely, what a "stand alone complex" is, despite having watched the entirety of GitS:SAC and even having read some of the novels. As best I can work ( Read more... )

Y'know, I once had a dream that it was Valentine's day and there were all these little cute robotic things running around to spread Valentine's cheer, but then they started multiplying and getting out of hand and looking a bit sinister. Knowing how to put an end to this, I went up to my neighbor's open window and leant on the sill ( Read more... )

For some reason, the only affectionate nickname that I have ever felt natural using is "fuzzbutt." I'm not sure why, and it's hardly a flattering term to use on an unsuspecting person, but any time I try to think of another word, there it is, all over my tongue, tripping up any attempt to say any conventional endearment ( Read more... )

I had a strange, but rather cool dream last night. There were doors in the ground, just like old cellar doors, that were painted a sort of maroon color and were always somewhere out of the way and a bit dilapidated. Nobody noticed them usually, but if you had a key (and for a while I had a sonic screwdriver, the ultimate key), you could use them to ( Read more... )

Weeell, looks like I may be volunteering for the Obama campaign.

Also, have I mentioned how creepy it is that our phones talk?? Not to mention annoying; they have a very shrill ring (especially devastating when you're in the living room, as you get it from both ends of the room) and they'll mindlessly repeat whatever's on caller ID ( Read more... )

I had some kind of weird dream last night where I was watching Heroes, and Hiro and Ando had teleported into the past. A younger Isaac Mendez was there, and he and Hiro were talking as Isaac sat down on his bed. Hiro was all like "Do you want to talk about it?" and I knew that by "it" he meant Isaac being a drug addict, but after the rather grumpy ( Read more... )

Ugggh, totally had a nightmare last night, about zombies. It basically started out that I looked up into the sky one night and saw a pair of Medflight helicopters heading to Madison (the route is practically over my house in real life too). The second of them started tipping to the side and I could see that there were people packed into it; it ( Read more... )
