The Dream of the Giant Fractal Woodlouse.
Time

I had a weird dream that I was watching a UK television series with plots along the lines of the film version of American Psycho and the television show Hannibal but made with the grotesque comedic tone of Hot Fuzz or Midsomer Murders. It starred John Barrowman (of all people) playing a user of people who casually tortures them and kills and steals their money and Celia Imrie played the mother of one of his victims and the chief thorn in his side. Her character was the leader of a group of people hounding the Barrowman character but she was just as nasty. I was a bit disappointed to find out the show wasn’t real as I wanted to watch more of it. Despite not being a big Barrowman fan.
He was really good in this show… in my head.

He sounds very much like my friend who had the stroke. He was like that for the first few weeks. If you keep asking him questions and give him a few hints now and then he will improve. If he ever had creative interests Like drawing getting him some pencils and a large pad will help. Even if it’s just making marks on a page. It gets hum to manipulate something. Ask him what food he likes. I got some pre-cut apple segments and shared then with my pal and it was like he had never eaten apple before. The look of surprise and delight. I hope your dad recovers well.

It’s a tricky balance between science and fantasy the competition occasionally stumbled on. I love The Black Hole, but even I cringe when they’re outside the Cygnus without so much as an oxygen mask in sight. 😉

Hardly anyone notices Ripley dangling from ladder with an alien queen hanging from her ankle while the whole hanger of the Sulaco decompresses and the door is wide open to freezing space and all the perils of radiation etc. They don’t worry that we can hear the queen, Ripley, Bishop and Newt screaming despite the tagline of the first movie either.

How the fuck is my pizza supposed to cook properly in this stupid Euromaid oven which has the element at the top?? I’ve tried putting it right down the bottom, tried no tray, tried oil… I think I’m going to have to cook the underside of the base prior to making the damn pizza in future.

Are you sure that’s not a grill or a convection oven?

Also, why is the Death Star up-side-down in this shot?

There is no upside down in space. It’s all three-dimensional, remember? 😛

Sure, but I still think it’s weird that they choose to show it from that orientation. Also doesn’t that technically mean that we’re seeing the planet with the north pole facing down (relatively speaking)?
It’s a neat shot anyway, it just struck me as kinda odd.

It’s hard to fire down when your gun is pointing up… probably.
