Nov. 11th, 2006 02:12 pmVery odd dreamthing last night. I think it involved some kind of Heroes-BSG crossover, which is extra odd as . . . I have never seen BSG. Um. I can't even remember why I knew it was BSG, except that Jamie Bamber was running around somewhere doing something Important and Foolhardy. Also, it was on a spaceship.
There is only one image I clearly remember: I walked into the costume shop I work in to perform some Very Important Sewing Errand For the Cause (why the costume shop was on the spaceship, I don't know) to find that the overlock machine had been moved from its normal spot in the corner. This was unnerving already; you don't move the overlock machine. It is complicated and finicky and rethreading it takes hours and hours of tweezers and hand-eye coordination, neither of which I have. So I looked around for it, and found it perched on a table a few feet away, threaded with human hair.
. . . to which my reaction, as far as I can recall, was 'how stupid! That's not going to hold for two seconds, and then I'll have to rethread it again, I hate the overlock machine.' But on waking up, that's the image that was in my head, and I sort of huddled down and was creeped out.
However! I cheered up quickly, because: off to San Francisco for fancy belated birthday dinner with my mother, and then to Berkeley to see
rymenhild. And also Lemony Snicket. *does dance of glee*

Be that as it may, you really should watch BSG. If only for the Pretty that is Jamie Bamber. Mmmmm.... You know you want to. You can watch them all streaming from this (http://www.tvlinks.voodeedoo.org/) website, which is the best thing ever, and even has links to shows like the old-school X-men cartoons and stuff. It makes me haaaaapy.
Anyway, yes, BSG is Love. Um... Yeah....
