Dreams and news-bits
Nov. 26th, 2003 09:10 am.
Had another odd bit of dream as I was waking up (the second time) Tuesday morning. I was up at a campground, trying to smuggle in (for unknown reasons) a German Shepherd and in abrupt addition, a very young (6-8 weeks) Pembroke corgi or corgi-cross puppy, a sleepy little boy.
Unfortunately, the road on which I need to get away from the rangers has all this construction traffic on it... so the shepherd is hiding out of the car until I can sneak him past....
[shakes head, puzzled]
Wednesday morning I dreamed about LiveJournal icons. No, I'm not an utter geek, why do you ask?
The September 19 issue of the Hollywood Reporter had some interesting things -- it was a 'SHOWBIZ KIDS Special Issue'. Yes, of course, the Harry Potter franchise was mentioned, along with a potential project based on a five-volume series of novels about a nother young wizard growing up in Wales. Anybody familiar with 'The Lost Years of Merlin' by T.A. Barron?
It also had a nicely-written full-page advert from -- get this -- 'Support Spike', the 'Bloody Awful Poet Society' and 'the worldwide community of Spike fans'! It's thanking the WB, Mutant Enemy and the sponsors for keeping Spike a viable character. Let's all go take a look at www.erinallen.com, shall we?
However, one of the up-front articles was sad -- Michael Kamen, the brilliant screen musician, died the preceeding Tuesday in London of a heart attack. Goddess bless, he was only 55. What a loss.
The Today Show, apparently, will do an article on the 'Geordi'. Once again life imitates art imitates life, etc etc etc. I'm running tape because I know somebody who's using our version of the 23rd century vision assist -- a friend's father. I haven't got to see the thing in action yet, but it's apparently quite interesting (you can view output on the TV).
It's not as slimmed-down as the science fiction version, but... I bet it'll get there.
