Pancakes?

Heh, this is one of my favourite moments from the A.T.O.M. comics, where Flesh has just barged through a wall and interrupted what Axel was saying...

"We can ask him later when we're--"
"Pancakes?"



I don't know why, this bit just makes me laugh...

Aims for this week on TV.com (ending Sunday 2nd July):
As I haven't completed this week's tasks on account of I suck at keeping deadlines, this is what I intend to do when I return home tonight (man, I have too many people in my family... This is like the seventh birthday in the last two weeks!!)
-Review every episode of A.T.O.M. (in the very least, review at least 7).

And... We're Out...

England are out of the World Cup, and even if it might be biased, I really do not think that Portugal deserved to win that. I'm really upset about losing that match - I nearly broke my hand punching the floor, actually...
Crap!
Ok, so Rooney did deserve to be penalised, and England actually played better without him on the pitch. But I'm really annoyed.

Raise your hand if you think England deserved to win. Especially when we weren't given that well-earned penalty, and then having to deal with Portugal's goalie get that one penalty disallowed because 'he wasn't ready'.
Pfft.

Yeah, ok, I'm slightly bitter. I'm off to root for Brazil now! (They'll kick some ass in the semis! :D)

New Signature Pic!

I just made this today. It's pretty cack, but it was done in Paint in about an hour, so there. I also can't find the right Shark picture for it... *sobs* So many characters I think are awesome, so little space...

The awesome Chibi Human Torch was drawn by Jackademus, go to DeviantArt and check out this amazing comic artist's work! There's a link in the A.T.O.M. forum (gods, I'm lazy...)


Weird Dreams - Real Life Weirdness Vol. 1!

Ah, more odd dreams. Well, only one, but I need to write it as it freaked me out...

My family have gone to this party, my aunt's 60th. As it turns out, this is being held in another country (possibly another planet - I'm not entirely sure). As is usual with parties for my aunt, uncle or cousin, it's as dull as heck and no one knows anyone else. At this point, I discover that my uncle's side of the family is Mayan, and most of the people here are Mayan. (Ok, so in real life they're Indian, but it is a dream!).
Anyway, my uncle gets it into his head that the country we're in/ planet we're on (I'm leaning towards the latter now) needs to be free of the 'scum' of other races i.e. my aunt's side of the family, i.e. MY family. Now, I'm right next to him as he's plotting his plans, which are, for some reason, decidedly primitive and very cartoon-y (I'm blaming Stargate for the setting and Farscape for the cartoon - I watched Revenging Angel that day. :D Lol!). His idea was to get all the Mayans into their 'temple' and then shatter the rocks around them, which would cause the mountains and sky to fall down and kill anyone who wasn't in the temple.
After I pointed out that the sky wouldn't fall down, and the mountains were a little bit far away, we were suddenly in a room, and my family knew what he was planning. The lights turned out, and my uncle intended to use night vision goggles and a gun to shoot anyone not Mayan. My mother immediately grabbed me, made me sit down and sat on top of me to protect me, which scared the life out of me. I started crying, pushing at her and whimpering "No!" because, seriously, who wants someone to die for them? Anyway, I thankfully woke up before anyone got killed (unusual for me, but something I am grateful for) and I've had to spend the rest of the morning with this horrible feeling hanging over me.
The only person I really have in my life is my mother (well, I guess my stepdad counts too now, but it isn't the same, you know?), so that was the worst thing I could ever dream about. Supposedly, dreaming about death means that there will be a birth in the family; my aunt is pregnant and is due, so maybe that's why. Maybe she'll go into labour today?
Drat, my bet was on the 4th of July. :D

Anyway, really horrific, but I needed to tell someone about it. I couldn't survive if anything happened to my mum. I'd probably lose the little bit of sanity I have (I know I'm not all there in my head, even if others don't. And that scares me too).

Weird Dreams - The Stargate Adventures Vol. 1!

Hello. Welcome back to the Weird Dreams collection. :D In this post, we'll be looking at SG-1 dreams. Some are funny, most are downright peculiar, and all managed to involve Jonas in at least a cameo. *sweatdrop* I'm not a fangirl when it comes to Jonas, but I am one of those people who considers SG-1 to be a five man team (Jack, Daniel, Sam, Teal'c and Jonas)... Well, 2 man, 1 woman and 2 alien team, anyway.

The first dream I'll explore is one I turned into a fanfic (Samba!) - has anyone read it? I'd been reading Stargate fanfiction the night before (I don't read or write the stuff that often, I just like something good to read before I sleep...) and during a mock exam that day, I'd designed a very strange little doodle I'd named Samba Quinn. It was basically supposed to be Jonas Quinn in a samba costume. Disturbing, but hilarious when you're doing an English Literature paper that you know nothing about. That night, I dreamt that Jack left his office to get some coffee when he bumbed into a conga line, being led by a samba-ing Jonas Quinn, complete with a woman's samba outfit (think sparkly bikini, and large feathers. I have been scarred for life, 'cause I didn't need to see that one!). Daniel was clutching onto Jonas a little too much, apparently drunk, Sam pinched the Colonel's butt, General Hammond and Dr Fraiser waltzed past and Siler was dancing around with fruit on his head. Teal'c was in the comissonary in a nun's outfit, and Ba'al, Thor and a random NID officer were all in the Gate Room. Jack lost it and ran away.
This was one of the cameo Jonas dreams, as he was in it for about 5 seconds, explaining that it was a Kelownan tradition of thanks. They'd just saved the planet in Fallout.

My next one is the fault of Toonami. I watched Parker Lewis Can't Lose, simply because it was a 'new' show and there wasn't anything else on, and that night I dreamt that Parker, Lemmer, Mikey and Jerry were SG-1... Lemmer was Sam, Parker was Teal'c (that one cracked me up, as does the next one), Jerry was Jack and Mikey was Daniel. It was based around Window of Opportunity from SG-1 (fab episode!). Towards the end of the dream, Daniel appeared through the Stargate, but he was Jonas. And Kubiak ended up being Fraiser, and ate LemmerSam. I woke up laughing.

My last one (for now, anyway, as it is a long post...) was due to seeing Michael Shanks in an episode of Highlander that day.  I'd found the episode boring, but watched the flashback scene because I wasn't sure it WAS Michael Shanks until he got shot (and then I knew... Don't ask me how). Anyway, that night I dreamt that Daniel was running around the SGC preaching peace and stealing all the socks that were lying around (no, I haven't got a clue...), while Sam and Jack were in the comissionary having a fancy meal, with Teal'c serenading them. After a bit of craziness involving sock puppets, Siler and the Gate, a gang of theives barged in demanding all the valuables. Fraiser was the ringleader, with a machete in her hand, and her lackeys were (you guessed it) Jonas, Hammond, Bra'tac, Sha're, Fifth (the Replicator dude?) and Maybourne. On the way out, Daniel, who was suddenly having a bout of further craziness and though he was a superhero, attempted to stop them. Hammond shot at him with a machine gun, which killed Danny-boy, but it also killed Jonas who was just behind him, laughing like a hyena and watching the weather channel (a cunning trap set by Walter).
On the bright side, there were mini Jacks and mini Sams running around a few days later as they'd gotten married and had kids.

Eh, my dreams are odd...

So ends Weird Dreams - The Stargate Adventures Vol. 1!

Other Weird Dreams - Superhero Time Vol. 1!

I thought I'd just start writing about all my strange dreams. It's interesting to see what other people think. As you can guess by this title, these ones involve superheroes (I'm not sure if SG-1 count as superheroes, so they get their own post... :D).

When it comes to superheroes, it usually features one of two things: Power Rangers or Static Shock. (I did once have a bizarre one about Sailor Moon, but it turned out it was actually an episode ANYWAY! Odd.)

What I probably call my worst superhero dream would be a Static one that had slashy undertones, due to my reading fanfiction by summerstarr before going to sleep. My dream started off with Virgil and his mother, who looked a hell of a lot like Maggie Foley (which is because it was her, but this happens a lot in my dreams, so I don't question it anymore). Before I carry on, yes, I know V's mother was dead. My brain did it, not me! Anyway, they were round some random woman's house (a friend of V's mother, who's name I've now forgotten... Jean?) and the two women were chatting away. Virgil was happily spooning food into the mouth of the other woman's child, a baby girl. Unfortunately (and no one realised until it was too late), the baby food had been infected by Big Bang Gas, and the child started mutating. Her mutation was the ability to amass corpses, and manipulate them. Being a baby, she didn't understand - she just did it. Another part of her power was that when the corpses touched someone, they burnt them and started the decaying process. Ick. Anyway, all these corpses started appearing in the room and both the child's and Virgil's mothers were quickly turned into corpses. Virgil, suddenly in his uniform, was out of the window, crying for Richie's loss (as my brain acknowledged that Maggie was Richie's mother and made the according changes to the story, including making her look like Virgil's mother instead... What? My brain is stupid!). He attempted to outrun the FLOOD of bodies, as they moved like a tidal wave and were swallowing up the pedestrian free streets, when one managed to touch him. Then came the corniest line in the dream (the entire thing was narrated... What?). The line was something like:

"And he didn't feel the pain, because the spot was where Richie had touched him."

Like I said, well corny. Did I mention summerstarr does slash? But I mean it, that line was in my dream...

Another of my superhero dreams involved mind controlling berries, the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, the vampire from Flint The Time Detective and Chibi Moon. And a talking road. I think I'll let you carry on with that one... 'Cause I think I've mentioned it before.

Another of my dreams that was Power Rangers is due to attempting to make a music video at about 2 in the morning using SPD footage, and noticing that in the first or second episode, there was this big explosion and the three SPD cadets (Bridge, Syd and Sky) had to peg it. And the fact that Sky was holding on to Bridge, helping him run when he didn't actually need it, and leaving Syd to fend for herself. Anyway, the dream was bascially this:
Bridge woke up in the morning and got out of bed, but SPD headquarters had turned into a pile of rubble (except for his room). He wandered around trying to find someone, ANYONE else, but he couldn't. Then Sky appeared out of nowhere and took him back to the real SPD headquarters, where they ate a bucket of sushi.
Did I mention that this dream is what inspired part of the plot in my fic The Two Mules? :D Not the potential slashy undertones, but the fact that it turned out that - wait, I'm not putting that down yet! What if it gives away plot?!

That's it for volume one of Weird Dreams - Superhero Time!

Huh?

My level is back. Odd, very odd. I'm confused now.

I keep having the weirdest dreams involving Static Shock, and the other day it also included A.T.O.M.! Well, kinda...

In college, one of Richie's teachers (working in the drama club) figures out Richie's identity and he starts tailing him. He confronts Richie at the club, so Richie leaves by running the heck out of there. Richie goes out on patrol on his latest invention, a flying scooter/ hover scooter. Richie sees the guy, who leaves a digital camera that Richie left at the club lying on the grass. Richie flies down to grab it, but gets caught off guard by Hotstreak, who looks vaguely like a hobo. Ebon joins in before Static arrives to help Gear get rid of them. Gear doesn't tell Static about the guy who knows his identity, instead waiting to see how things play out...


The odd thing was that, while he was flying on the scooter and fighting Ebon/Hotstreak, Richie was actually Shark from A.T.O.M., yellow suit and all. Now, that might not seem too bad, but when Static arrived, it was Hawk! I mean, they're completely different! He quickly resumed normal Static form, but after I woke up I burst out laughing. The rest of the A.T.O.M. crew were members of the drama club, and Richie's new stalker was Mr Lee. Very bizarre dream.
