In the first dream, I met Lily Tomlin. No points for guessing what I asked her. (Her answer was a blunt "No.")

Well, she is a lesbian in real life ...

WHAT?!? No. Just...No...

That had nothing to do with what I asked about.

Danfun128: It wasn't something about whether she knew Odin's words whispered to Baldr's on his funeral pyre, was it? ;)

No.

----------------------------------

I'll give you guys a hint. The question I asked her had nothing to do with her personal life.

 Did you ask "May I mambo dogface in the banana patch?"

I have no idea what that means, so that obviously wasn't the question.

Since nobody guessed the correct question, and since I want to get this off my chest, the question was was "Is Ms.Frizzle a Time Lord?"

Thunderbirds are Go! With real puppets no less!

Ah, Thunderbirds ... I haven't seen a single episode of that show since the '90s. Didn't that show have a bald villain who could hypnotize people with his eyes? That always used to creep me out. 

Pleasant dreams! ;)

I have a sudden urge to study the paintings of Cranach the Elder.

And now I'm scared of Brooke Shields. ;)

What movie is that from?

Terry Gilliam was erroneously reported dead today. (Somebody's finger slipped on Variety's pre-written obits it seems.) It's like something out of Brazil! Thank goodness he's not actually pining for the fjords!

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's 60s Marvel comics are obviously great, but their version of Thor is so mythologically inaccurate it's ludicrous. They didn't even bother about Odin having only one eye, for example.

Maybe these days, now that somebody at Marvel has bothered to crack open a book about Norse mythology. But Jack Kirby's Odin had both eyes back in the 60s.
