DALLAS, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In the universe of science fiction, a few stars outshine others in the minds of devoted fans. In honor of tomorrow's theatrical release of the "Star Trek" remake, BLOCKBUSTER(R) has conducted a survey to reveal which science fiction characters are favorites among sci-fi fans. Every science fiction movie worth its starship needs a strong captain battling for the future of mankind against an evil alien villain. Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds, played by Nathan Fillion in the "Firefly" television series and the feature film "Serenity" was named in the survey as Favorite Starship Captain by sci-fi fans. On the darker side, the iconic Darth Vader was named the Favorite Sci-Fi Villain. - - c - -------------------------------------------------- "No Power in the 'verse can stop me." - -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 23:43:08 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: fegdream On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 6:10 AM, wrote: > Last night, I had a dream that Aaron Lowe & I were in a music > appreciation class at > University of Houston (where we actually met as classmates in waking > life), about 80s music.

What I was enjoying about them, of course, was the break from daily life, from a certain kind of imposed responsibility to participate in a culture I had no stake in. Talk about disenfranchised: "You know what wouldn't be so bad? If this society, nay, global society, were wrecked in fiery death so I could avoid having to turn in my Latin translations, and more importantly avoid having to grow up and take on adult responsibilities!" I think a lot of people feel like this on the cusp of adulthood, and yet the fevered excitement of those dreams still shames me.

I don't really have nightmares at all. Even my more negative, disgusting or scary dreams are fascinating to me, and I almost never wake up scared or shaken.

(and what if not remembering the pleasant dreams prevents me from building and seeing something truly horrible?) i rarely look over journals and such, but recently i was looking for a particular entry regarding something a friend and i were talking about. one journal, circa 1998, is like 50% dream. oh, and robyn has been mentioned in at least five of them so far. i've always liked writing dreams down -- i think because i like the sort of unique way in which they're difficult to describe. as ever, lauren - -- "people with opinions just go around bothering one another." -- the buddha ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 13:42:37 -0400 From: Jeremy Osner Subject: Re: fegdream On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 1:31 PM, lep wrote: > (and what if not remembering the pleasant dreams prevents me from > building and seeing something truly horrible?) > Well that would be all to the good, right?

Ok, I bite. What is it? There isn't really a story here; I just mention the female Rush fan I once knew. In the spirit of canned responses, here's a copy from the March 2007 archives: "I knew a real, honest-to-god female Rush fan back in college (as I mention every time the subject of Rush chicks comes up here). I forget her name, but she was a quite attractive petite brunette. She was in my public speaking class (we were forced to take one), and for her final speech did a close textual explication of 'The Trees.'" I'll add that she was not only an attractive, petite brunette, but she dressed fashionably (as far as I could tell), had good social skills, and never mentioned either Ayn Rand or Star Trek in my hearing. So whatever stereotype might come to one's mind as one tries to picture a "female Rush fan," it's probably wrong. - --Chris, still in moving hell ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 13:57:52 -0400 From: lep Subject: Re: fegdream Jeremy says: > My dreams, the ones I can remember and find worth remembering, are mostly > here: readin.com/blog/?k=dreams oh, this one's lovely: << Later in the night, I dreamed I was examining and modifying the source code for my dreams.
