sirenity's rainbow pigeon sighting (more on rainbow pigeons)

Hey, a Firefly/Serenity ornament! - not a bad nerd thing to get for kev, maybe, seeing as he has a bunch of the star trek/star wars ones for the tree already.

Post-walkies really wore me out yesterday... when I got back home, I had a little nap - which turned into a 5-hour long torpor. After I woke up, I did some errands, came back home again, and crashed hard, again, for another 5 hours... only to hit the sack early, in the hopes of fully charging my very drained batteries. Perhaps I'm getting sick? I don't't feel ill, just weary.

I'm feeling well-rested now, but how will I be doing in 2 hours, into the droning, moaning, Monday morning meeting of Doo-OO-oom?

I wonder how many people in the USA actually get President's Day off... is it more or less than Martin Luther King Day? Unless you're a bank or government office, I suspect the workplace is active .

I dreamt that I was watching an episode of Lost, and thinking it was really boring.. Until it turned out that Ed Asner was going to be a new character on the show, and he was a master of Kung Fu, (hanks to CGI, I guess...)The season finale of the show had a large incident killing off most of the major characters, and let the counter go down to zero, prompting the launch of the island into space. It's still a tropical island, but it has a huge transparent dome over the top for outside shots, sort of like silent running.

Somehow, I didn't remember that "Lost: in Space" was already a show... and one that I liked a lot, to boot.

The show went from being live-action to a cartoon in a fairly modern style, narrated by Asner and followed the Quantum Leap / LIS pattern of "We encounter weird situations, must fix them for the Dharma Agency, while trying to communicate with the psychic kid to guide them home." I was thinking that all of the leads that were killed probably left the show at that point.

I was both saddened and relieved that it was just a dream when I woke up this morning. I'm really all for a dramatic/weird version of Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space.(mp3) Maybe toss in a few musical numbers, some toon-babes, a lovable coward, a muscle head and a speech impeded, yet talking version of Vincent will make things complete.

hm. Maybe I'm more under the weather than I thought. Classic Josie was a lot more fun, theme-wise.(mp3)

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
in a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

And I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
should be the star of a Hollywood movie

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
In front of every kind of girl, there was
black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

Out of the middle came a lady
She whispered in my ear something crazy
She said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
