Had two strange dreams last night. First a short one in which I was reading online reviews that said the movie Stardust (which I and my parents re-watched on Sunday) hadn't done well in the box office, which I knew couldn't be right.

I woke up during a dream in which I was playing The Sims 3 on a supercomputer. I got bored and had my avatar try to convince the other Sims that they were Sims. I told the computer to change the settings to prove it to them, but it kept arguing with me because the scientist who made it hadn't told it to that. I threatened to delete all its file folders, but it knew I was bluffing.

Just one smaller dream this time. A neighbour gave us all her cats.

Carmen from Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead set a bunch of grey terrier dogs, tabby cats, and pidgeons on Eve and Lindsey from Angel while Alec from Dark Angel watched stupefied and the Series 4 "Doctor's Theme" played. Then I woke up and was disappointed that it hadn't been a real episode, but resolved to write it into my plot bunnies. Then I woke up again, this time for real.

Had several unrelated dreams of little coherence last night. Some were BSG and had the characters in the wrong places because it was supposed to be different characters in those scenes. For example, Tory when it was supposed to be Boomer. My brain's explanation for this: It's an episode where the characters are having a dream sequence.

Dreams I can remember:

*Tory/Boomer with Cavil. For some reason the Eights were with Cavil whereas the Sixes were correctly with Galactica. Something was going on about human families, including children, being processed and killed. Eights were cooing over the fact that there were children around. It was supposed to be Cavil's fleet but it was a lot like New Caprica. In appearance, it was like a hotel designed by MC Escher. Cavil studying All Along the Watchtower (except it was actually random paragraphs of words and not AATW, but I thought it was AATW and I got the tune right at least) to uncover the Final Five's master plan. Plan was put into motion. New Caprica-esque explosions.

*Draco Malfoy in Ravenclaw AU. I thought this was a fanfic I was creating, even though I was seeing it play out before me in the dream. I argued with myself about what kind of changes to canon plot development make sense. I planned to do Sirius Black in Slytherin next.

*Myself skimming through episodes of that old show Max Steel online. The dream videos, of course, bore little resemblance to the show in reality. They were very short and all the action happened either at the end or the beginning of each one. This annoyed me.

Just finished my Battlestar Galactica Season 4.5 rewatch by watching Daybreak (the unaired extended episode) on DVD tonight. It's absolutely perfect. Eclipses the first time I saw it, and not because of the extra scenes.

I've decided to keep a record of interesting dreams. Last night I was with the Fourth Doctor and there was a big fuss going on over the relocation of the Sisterhood of Karn to another planet along with their sacred flame due to Karn becoming geologically unstable. Fortunately, Maren had learned by this time to listen to the Doctor instead of sacrificing him, but we had to get past officious types to see her. The Sisterhood's ranks had expanded, and there was a mad alchemist in their midst with plans to replicate the sacred fire. I convinced the Doctor to go tell Maren right away instead of standing there watching him fiddling with the fire so that we would look like his accomplices if someone barged in.

And yes, I know Maren died, but in my dream, she hadn't.

I just learned on Battlestar Wiki that the Number Six copy Natalie's full name was Natalie Faust. She was called that in production scripts and there's a "Natalie Faust's Bloodied Watch" prop on ebay. Huh.

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

I watched the whole series of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere on Youtube today. I highly recommend it. I finished the book yesterday.

If the Final Five were Magic cards, their mana costs would be:

Sam Anders - WWG
Ellen Tigh - GGR
Saul Tigh - RRB
Tory Foster - BBU
Galen Tyrol - UUW

The perfect theme music for John Cavil's interactions with the Final Five is "I Can't Decide Whether You Should Live or Die", by the Scissor Sisters.

Hello, flist. Just letting you know that I've just finished writing the summary for issue 3 of this comic at Battlestar Wiki. I wrote the summaries for issues 1 and 2 as well. It's an interesting read, but I'm afraid they got a detail wrong in the latest one, unless that's somehow explained in issue 4.

Some financial dispute between Time Warner and the news station and CW-23 means that we can no longer watch the news station or CW-23 without rabbit ears on our television. Yes, that means I might miss Supernatural tonight. And yes, I only just found out. There is one word for this: suckfest.

As was demonstrated in an interview with Katie Couric, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade.

The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun.

I have one question: 

Why aren't they showing repeats of Supernatural Season Three before the new episodes air? Why!?
