TV Geek Dreams

Damn, when I get to thinking about something, I get obsessed.

I just woke up from a dream about Willem, a character in Spodie's People. I dreamed that there was a broken link in my journal, because I had linked to something coming from dynamically generated pages, something to do with CGI and databases and stuff, and Willem had hunted down exactly why the link broke, and how to reconstruct it from clues he had dug around for on the site in question. He wrote a very long and thorough explanation full of links itself. When I woke up, I had the feeling that *I* was Willem, and I had done all the writing, and that I would remember everything that had been written, so that I could write it here.

Of course I don't remember, because I didn't know it or write it in the first place, but that's the way it is, waking from dreams.

Despite the spring ahead Daylight Savings Time switch, and despite having got to bed later than I intended, I still woke up feeling quite refreshed, an hour ahead of schedule. That feels so odd, but I remind myself that I was doing the same thing the first two weeks of my new shift, before I somehow started building a sleep deficit. Since I finally got enough sleep yesterday, I feel good today.

I do need to credit Napalm with at least half of this show idea, as it was born out of a punchy before-falling-asleep conversation a few nights ago. We were arguing about whether America really was ready for a poly sitcom, which led off into a "what would you do" kind of conversation that had us plotting and casting in no time.

You know, I do realize that we cast Spodie's People with movie stars instead of television stars. The reason for that is that we so seldom watch any TV anymore, neither of us knows who the TV stars these days are. Plus I especially happen to like these movie stars, and can easily see them in these roles.

I also do realize that Willem is the name of a good friend and collaborator of Kevin Smith, as well as a character in his movies. When the name came up in Napalm's random name generator, I just had to go with it.
