Dead Like Me season 2 clothes for George go all... short. And with her middle showing. And sometimes pink. I'm not exactly complaining. Except possibly about the pink. But it seems odd. Also, she looks kinda skinny.

Mason remains such a screw up. He's only funny to watch if I can stay like a step back from the story. Drunk or drugged people arent terribly amusing really. But Mason basically remains just a twat, great big muppet, and just exaggerated enough to be funny.
But at the same time he can be this freaky kind of sweet. I mean it is usually by accident, but, sweet.

Only two episodes to go.

This show has just gone all wrong.


On the other hand the random shuffle that keeps turning itself back on just skipped to the songvid 'Ghost', which is vaguely amusing, because connections.

Is really sad, that what I loved in first season is all gone by end of second.

Went back to sleep
Had long complicated dream, involving the discovery that Only Fools and Horses is in the same universe as Doctor Who.
And then it got strange, possibly because Rodney was wearing a trenchcoat, and we all know what that means - yup, master of the mystic arts right there.
So there was freeing people from slavery by means of getting them on the buses outside school (where I had a little anxiety loop about having to sit English exams without having studied, and knowing I was doing Sociology next year but feeling English was all unfinished. I did in the real world study English Lit for about 3/4 of an A Level, but came away with no paper to show for it. Guess my subconscious has issues about that.)
Anyways, obviously there was no room on the bus for me and a few brave souls fighting the rearguard action, so we had to jump down the furniture, with the assisstance of an electrified trident/garden fork, which was a very cool weapon apart from the way it made my arm numb and tingly every time I used it. And then at the end I had to duck under a really tall desk, and the guy behind me swung a punch (not at me on purpose, some kind of cause and effect of powers that he was really unhappy about really) and he just skimmed his arm under the desk so his skin rolled up like one of those curls of icecream or the bit you take off a pencil with a pencil sharpener. Oddly that hurt a lot, and he needed healing. So I yelled for a healer, but R just stared at me until I remember I could do that. And then I did the healing, which, *gasp* felt all... good and warm, and what is this strange sensation? (I blame LKH for making sex=healing=sex in my subconscious, tho granted music started it). And *then* we had to all get in disguise and elude our persuers until sunrise, and I figured the best way to do that was to wear one of those baggy veils with only an eyeslit, and ride the London Underground all night. But not the dark blue or yellow or green lines, because I'd used them before. And also I had a vague feeling not the pink line neither.
But then someone brought pins to attach a green sheet to be my big veil, but they drove them right into my skull! Which, okay, secure anchor point, but ouch! But they swore that was the correct way to do things. But I was worried because before healing had healed me too. So I told them they had to injure themselves so I could test. Sure I could ask someone else, but no one else had just stuck a big pointy thing in my head. So they did, and I started the healing, and I don't know if it worked but it made me go right out of my skull there and out into the real world here.
You know, assuming this is real.

So then I ate the other half of the chocolate and typed this up.

My brain is a very strange place to be.

Am watching Minority Report
I forgot how much I love the moment in the elevator
where the guy says "put the gun away, I don't hear a red ball"
and *then* the alarm goes off
that change in his expression
you can just see the 'bathroom, now' moment

I love that look


Right now it is the gross bit with eyeballs
well, actually theres quite a long sequence of gross bits related to eyeballs
and I could do without gross. So, typing. And checking mail.




I'd also forgotten that it ends one voiceover too late. Which is pretty typical for PKD stories. Hollywood wants tidy, but it ends up washing out the impact. It should have ended in the dark, with the dead guy. That was the end of the story, the rest was a bunch of loose ends taht were only emotionally relevant if you stopped to think about it, not to the central story. Too many endings.

Am having another 'what was I thinking' moment
Am watching 'Daredevil'
which I bought, and recall liking
half an hour in... dear lord is this terrible
I'm bored, I don't buy the CGI, I can't really find any of it I like at all
I can only assume I was on my Ben Affleck kick after Dogma and Chasing Amy and just evaluated it in that light.

this is really not good.
