Weirdest Dream lately :
I dreamed I was on the "other side" when my Dad was passing. I spoke to him and made sure he was okay. Then I woke, and knew he was gone. 30 minutes later, we got the call from the hospital saying that his blood pressure had crashed in the last 30 minutes.
Currently working on :
A BTVS related story called "Long Goodbye" which deals with a member of the Watchers Council being vamped as part of an experiment.
Also completing my nanowrimo effort.
A blog for that outspoken and aggressive member of the Buffy Bulletin Board.

11:00 pm.... "4...3...2...BOOM!"
24 ... 24 ... 24 ... 24 ... 24 ....
R.I.P. George Mason
I've just seen the latest epiosde of 24. And it's nothing short of excellent.
I have to say, that when George was irradiated, I had a hunch he was going to dive on the proverbial grenade in order to give his life some meaning. So I was surprised when last week, he walked out of CTU, looking like that was his final scene.
Where I watch the show, we don't get trailers for next weeks episode (an apparently uniquely American tradition) so I had no idea what was going to happen.
I have been known to read Herc's spoilers on AINT IT COOL NEWS once in a while, but thankfully, I was spoiler free for this.
Some thoughts...
Kim really is too dumb to live.
Nice to see Susan Gibney again. Best remembered by me as Leah Brahms.
The writers on 24 are quite brave making this particular storyline, especially given how rabid any implication of criticism of US foreign policy is received today.
Think about it... a terrorist plot of mass destruction , supposedly planned by a Middle eastern Muslim terrorist group, turns out to have been assisted by elements in the US intelligence forces.
Now, it looks like evidence has been "provided" which shows that 3 Middle eastern countries were actually behind it, and those elements of the military/industrial complex are requesting Palmers' go-ahead to prep an invasion and possible go to war with these 3 countries.
I know there's going to be a few people who see the similarity with the 9-11 attacks in this. I just hope the writers don't come under attack for it. After all it's just television.
