This morning started kind of poorly, with a nightmare where Superman got shot Read more... )

So once I woke up I had to write that in my head until things were much better than that. Like, clearly Kryptonians have healing nanotech, Clark would be fine, obviously, he's always fine. But that was really upsetting.

So then my day started late, which wasn't cool.

but I'm up, I'm clean, I'm dressed, I started Cleaner Day appropriately, and I remembered to clean out the fridge and put all the new cutlery in the dishwasher before I started it. So that's working.

It's weirdly annoying having nightmare feelings hangover. Like, I know full well it's all imaginary stuff that isn't even wrong, but feelings just had a really bad thing happen in front of them and are kind of ... like bad smell, trying to stick around.




Last night I went looking for Supergirl fanfic, but found despite an actual strong presence of f/f that none of it is my happy place. I haven't figured what my happy place would be.

Mostly I'm just having a feelings and some of them are not nice
but I liked Supergirl so there's nice feelings around as well
so that's nice.

Listened to two today

Mistfall I didn't find very interesting, but I was concentrating on LibraryThing and accidentally replayed 8 minutes of it because I couldn't find the more precise controls for the CD player, which obviously would impact my feelings about the pace rather. Even so it seemed like an average adventure, so it's doing okay.

I liked Equilibrium better. It's about a society in a closed system, where the arrival of 4 new travellers must lead to 4 deaths. But being Doctor Who the Doctor just rejects the premise, and gets away with it eventually. Which seems a bit like ducking the answer. I mean, they're on an ice place where the food is really skimpy, they'd be run right up against the limits of their resources at some point. Making the solution just pressing some buttons seems like ducking. But they could live at a much higher tech level and make better use of resources and have more people survive, so it's not cheating. And I liked the characters and how they were cold and sympathetic by turns. Also Nyssa had her moment of connection to the story and themes and stuff, and the Doctor had a moment of self doubt, and those are nice character moments. I gave it 4/5 stars.
