- I think I must have dreamed last night. I mean, I suppose I always do, but I almost never remember them, so I don't tend to think about it. But I'm in a deeply -longing- place today, but it doesn't feel like my usual flavour of being, and it feels like it's about something just out of mental grasp, so I assume it's a residual something from a dream I can't remember. Strange feeling.

- Offensive casting notice of the day:

Character: Bitch
You will be playing a 13 year old who has something very special about her beyond the fact that she is a genius, has completed a PhD in Geology, and is highly sensual.

- The unit of measurement for the pacing of fiction is West Wings. No really. It's like "is this story a West Wing or a half a West Wing or three West Wings?" It works.

- A new low: I am obsessed with a Placebo song.

Does she have purple eyes and a talking cat, too?

I was thinking red hair and a burning desire to marry one or more manly men, live on a frontier, and pop out a dozen babies (with whom she will then have creepy sexual tension).

These things aren't mutually exclusive.

Not at all!

I listen to the Placebo cover of Running Up That Hill much more often than I do the original. I've also done the same to the Abney Park cover of Creep.

I should probably wash myself in bleach and call a priest.

*weeps for humanity* Please tell me that no professional person had anything to do with this. Lie if you have to.

Student film. But student film with enough umph behind it to spend the money for a casting agency.

This is our future.

Drag

which season of west wing?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Any season of West Wing. When you say the pacing of West Wing with a little snap snap snap of your fingers everyone knows what you mean, even if it wasn't always consistent.

aha.

Not too long ago I had a dream that I couldn't stop thinking about. The feeling didn't pass until I used fragments of the dream setting in a piece of writing. Then I got enough distance from it that I could stop.

I've totally had that experience too -- this feels like it, except I have no idea what the dream was about (I can sort of guess what it was assembled of just based on the mood I'm left with, but it's purely conjecture).

I always think it's slightly spooky what my brain comes up with when left to its own devices. It makes me wonder what's going on just below the surface.

I teach 7th grade English/writing, and I always tell my students to allow time for their subconscious minds to process, especially when they are having trouble with a piece.

Last night I dreamed that I was teaching the fundamentals of computer programming to Alison Bechdel. In a grocery store. While naked. The mood it left me with is... not easily explicable.

That may be the greatest thing I've ever heard.

That isn't by any chance the character's name, is it? (Thinking of Roberta Gregory's comics strips about her cartoon character Bitchy Bitch. Also laughing oddly at the memory of some NY sf fans in the 80's who went through a phase of wearing various buttons declaring themselves "Journeyman Bitch" and "Novice Bitch".)
