I suck and I'm having a sucky day full of sucky dreams intended to make me feel like I suck like a very sucky thing. Including dream of teeth falling out. That's inevitably sucky.

There was a creative writing course 1030-1230.
I woke up at 1231.

So, that's 3/4 of the course missed, and there's only 8 weeks total.

I suspect I actually don't want to do the course, or something.



Dreams were annoying. Lots of back at school oh no. Lots of running around old high school being all lost and confused. Lots of being surrounded by crazy people.

And then for the last dream, clumsy liberal racism! And subsequent extreme embarassment!
Could have been worse. Could have dreamed I was an ugly hateful racist. I'm very not that.
But clumsy liberal racism was, in this case, assuming that the one black teacher in the school was somehow responsible for all the not-white kids in the school. And referring to them as a big group. And remarking on them as one of the big changes since my day.
And then the teacher (who was Gunn, actually) pointed out how weird it was to assume that thing, and there was me talking in attempted explanation until it turned into a whole lot of saying sorry.

I now feel like I have to go around explaining I'm not racist, even the liberal quite likes black people just thinks of them as black people thing. I'm bad at people in general. If I say anything dumb it isnt because I'm anything ist, just because I'm generally good at saying dumb things.

I don't tend to think of people in big lumpy categories. They are quite confusing enough one at a time.

So anyway, now I'm whiny and defensive because of stupid nightmares (which weren't scary, just... well, I call them nightmares, and they were set in high school, and I think most people can understand that is quite sufficient problem).

Dumb dreams.

Joss Whedon has said

"I wasn’t trying to make Buffy The Lesbian Separatist, because I didn’t think anyone would show up."

Slash fic often seems to be writing gay separatists, and not only do people show up, they don't so much seem to notice.

Tru Calling season 1

Have now finished watching Tru Calling up to the end of the first season.
Which was the episode that got me to buy the DVDs in the first place.

Only 6 episodes in season 2?
Grrr! Arrgh!
Network suits.

But. I kind of felt like they spent the whole first season setting up the basic premis. I mean, the early Tru only episodes were okay, apart from how annoying I found her then. But only once Jack started to play did they really totally grab me. Especially since ( Read more... )

In random comment: What is it with characters called Jack? Is there, like, a quota? Jack Harper in this, which incidentally turns up a whole bunch of characters on imdb. Jack Harkness on Doctor Who. Jacks everywhere.


In possibly more random though on topic comment: On the DVD menu right now Tru is posing on a morgue tray. Is it just me or is that, like, very creepy? I mean she isn't half naked or anything, but morgue and pretty are just not things I try and associate.


ETA: season 2 bit: ( Read more... )

Freaky: When I link in passing to an interview I had not previously read, that has probably been up since last year, and then later that day Whedonesque posts a link.
For now I know not if it is a manifestation of the collective fan subconscious, or if someone is watching.
