Dizzy Dame

This is probably related to my recent sleep patterns: hours and hours of dreams (I can remember six distinct and rather lengthy dream periods last night) without very much relaxing sleep.

Good thing, as Darin says, we're about to embark on a week-long hiking vacation.

Yes, you will be lacking in pithy comments from moi for the next week, while Darin and I hike around the Canadian Rockies and make fun of people who say, "Eh?" a lot. I might be logging in, because I am an online addict, but I'm not going to count on it. I will be writing entries while I'm away.

Both of these problems, by the way, are probably caused by my having gone cold-turkey on a medication I was taking. Going cold-turkey: always a bad idea. I didn't mean to go off it all at once; I just never got around to seeing a doctor.

Tonight we had another Babylon 5 get-together at our house. Last new episode for months.

(By the way, I spoke with JMS's assistant today; no, they still have not heard. If you think it's driving you crazy, it's driving them crazier.)

I thought about something Ceej wrote the other day, about how she and I differ on which captain of B5 we prefer. What struck me first is that the argument is absolutely moot for me now. Sinclair vs. Sheridan? Well, I never met the guy who played Sinclair, but I did talk to Bruce Boxleitner and chase down Jason Carter to find out what his schedule was and deliver videotapes to Walter Koenig. The guy who played Morden, Ed Wasser? Nicest man on the planet. I couldn't believe how un-Morden he was.

I cannot look at Babylon 5 with anywhere near the same level of suspension of disbelief I used to. I don't have B5 dreams anymore. I did have one dream a couple of weeks ago that involved working at the production office, but not on the station.

I guess seeing how things are actually put together will change your ability to believe in them.
