newnumber6 | Riverworld and other dreams...

Upon further reflection at work, I've figured out where the little girl who was dead (and yet surprisingly up and around and talking) came from. Riverworld was on TV last night, though I only caught the last half of it. If you've never heard of it, it's a movie based on a series of books by Philip Jose Farmer, in which everyone who ever lived on Earth (with a few exceptions that I won't talk about) wakes up after their deaths on another planet, along the banks of a river which winds around the whole planet. In both the book and the movie, one of the early characters was a kid, a young girl about 6 or so named Gwen, who didn't talk (in English, anyway)
The book series wasn't great.. good, at best, but the idea was so awesome I had to read it all, and it could make a great series. The adaption wasn't bad, but they made too many changes that I disliked that didn't seem needed to be changed.
It's one of those books where every once in a while, I just drift off into fantasyland and imagine what it'd be like if I died and suddenly found myself there.
Also watched another episode of Jeremiah last night, which oddly enough reminded me of the one Batman story I want to write someday.
