First, Happy Birthday [livejournal.com profile] soleta_nf!

Second, meh. Sleep was not great. I kept semi-waking up convinced that I was moving tomorrow/today and my mind was frantically racing trying to organize everything. Even though part of me was aware and tried to remind myself that uh, no, I'm not moving, the racing-mind part wouldn't listen. On the other hand, then I had a dream that I went to see a taping of the Daily Show, and hung out with Jon Stewart afterwards, which was kinda fun.

Did I mention how on Monday at about 5:30 am I helped a homeless woman steal back her bag of clothes from another homeless person who was using it as a pillow? No? Well, maybe after work.

Finally, Stargate Universe castings! They finally announced the rest of the main cast. And there are some recognizable (to me, at least) names there, although nothing super-exciting, some are at least mildly cool. (cut just in case you don't want to know) Read more... )

So, I had a Stargate-heavy dream last night. Atlantis, too, which is odd (although some of SG1 made an appearance)

So, naturally, once I woke up (both while trying to fall asleep again and after I was on my way to work) my mind tried to refine the idea into something that might actually work in the show. Here's what I came up with (which doesn't match the dream very much except in one of the basic ideas).

In conclusion, I should totally write for Stargate!

In other news, they're producing a movie of the first two Hyperion Books. On the one hand, this is kind of cool, as they're great books and I'd love to see how they translate to the screen. On the other hand, I think there's way too much in the books to fit in a movie. I always thought it would make an awesome miniseries (with the first book being told in one hour installments, one for each 'story' and the connective tissue around them, and then another couple of hour installments for the second book). Is there anything so worrying as a half-fulfilled wish? Ah well, we'll see how it goes.

Huh?

Weird short story idea my mind woke up working on furiously. Can't remember having the idea, just working on it, maybe dreamed it and woke up to work on it, maybe thought of it and sort of drifted in and out of dream. Probably unsalvagable in any event, but writing it down just in case.

The cast of Corner Gas in the middle of a technological singularity.

So, I had my first (I think) Harry Potter dream... except, I didn't have a dream I was in the HP universe, or any of its characters were near me... I specifically had a dream that I was an extra in the next Harry Potter movie. Read more... )

And, in the way it sometimes does, my half-asleep mind created two series ideas out of dream fragments and the disoriented thoughts between waking from the dream and getting back to sleep. Since the writer's strike may have hurt the new pilot season, Hollywood is welcome to buy these ideas from me to make a new show out of if they so desire! ;)

Idea one: Insertion Team - Read more... )

Idea two: Stick Man - Read more... )

Dream last night was another 'full fledged story idea'. Well, nearly full fledged, anyway, and there's no ending, but as an idea that could be fleshed out, it's decent. It was in the guise of a plot for a new TV show I heard about, airing in England. It was called Zargate, which amused me in the dream because it was so close to Stargate (but completely unrelated). Immediately following the dream, my mind set to work on analyzing (in the poor way it does at 2am) whether it would be a good idea, which melded nicely into a second dream in which I was telling people the idea and getting thoughts and reactions and developing it. I can't entirely piece together which bits of the plot came from which dream, so I'll just write it as if it's one seamless whole:
