Back from Ireland! Also dreams, Flickr question
Got in late last night after an absolutely terrific (near-) week in Ireland with the lovely rheanna27. Mostly it was a very quiet vacation -- I had a lot of writing to do -- but it was so good to relax and take it easy. We took nice trips to pubs, and walked around quiet green places, and spent a day on the northern coast enjoying the fine weather. (She insists that normally Ireland is quite rainy, that my trips there somehow create freakishly fine weather, but as far as I can tell the place is sunshine city.) Also we went to the ballet, a very hallucinogenic and very fine "Midsummer Night's Dream." Finally we went down to Dublin for the last day. No "Sarah Connor Chronicles" were watched despite our best intentions, but I did time my trip just right to see the Doctor Who S4 premiere, which I enjoyed immensely. Now I'm back, with still more writing to do, but feeling more relaxed than I have in a very long while.
Thus far this morning, I have been highly productive, i.e., I went to the store and have watched the whole week's worth of "All My Children." I FREAKED OUT about all the fabulous flashbacks to Jenny; I mean, they cannot show enough flashbacks for my taste. The show was better 20 years ago. I see no reason why the current stories could not turn into framing devices allowing us to watch the old storylines over again. Seriously, they had her in her Foxy's outfit! I didn't even know I remembered Foxy's! So fun.
I also had a killer dream last night, one of the ones you're so bummed turns out to be false. Essentially, "Alias" came back on, but it was a six-week "miniseries event" or something. The frame had something to do with Sydney going back in time to save everyone. What was REALLY incredible was that they were doing "Lost"-style flashbacks with everybody: Irina, Jack, you name it. So we were finally getting "the truth" about how things happened for all of them and what they still felt. I remember getting really excited that they were bringing Irina back from the crazy edge (and I remember thinking that her storyline from the past was REALLY well done). Jack's part somehow had him in the distant past interacting with Sydney -- like, 1971 Jack was 2008 Sydney's partner in trying to change time, even though he couldn't quite believe any of this crap would ever happen to him. It was really good, although there was some subplot about how Jack used to be clumsy that I didn't quite buy.
OK, how do I post multiple photos from Flickr to LJ? I don't want the "upload to blog" function, which looks like it would do a separate post for each photo.
