Last night I had a very odd dream about "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which would undoubtedly make ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bamboofae very very proud of me. It wasn't exactly Buffy, though, but it might make for good series television regardless. So, I dreamed I was the titular character (what, like you've never heard of a transgendered dream before?!?) and I had this giant robot that could only be detected by its heat signature. He stood only about two stories high; I guess he was built for stealth. But people never really noticed this building-sized robot in their midst, and he kept being chased by bigger, meaner robots.
I had gone to this apartment complex that keeps popping up in my dreams as a setting. For some reason, I think it was born from the place where my grandmother lives in Baltimore. In my dreams, it has evolved from straight ghetto to low-rent-but-nice housing. It changes a little bit every time I revisit it, for the purposes of the dream of course.
In this one, the apartments was this place I used to live, and had gone back to investigate because a series of clues lead me there. It was a trap cunningly orchestrated by that season's chief nemesis, though, and suddenly there was this other giant robot that had found mine. It had to find a way to dampen its heat signature severely, and somehow we had both managed to escape its clutches, but not without the ominous warning from the villain about greater things being afoot. I got the feeling that he was letting us leave after a certain point, which only made me feel worse. Escape is really nothing to feel good about unless it's been earned.
Anyway, I woke up right as I was getting pissed at Alyson Hannigan (or was it Jewel Staite?) for being snarky at me. I think Michelle Trachtenberg was there, too, as like, the Scarecrow.
This will make no sense if you're not a Whedon fan, move along.
Anyway, it's been a busy couple of days; the work computer has a CD-RW drive that works and the home computer now has Linux. More later, work now.
