Only in dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages

I had this totally weird dream last night, extremely detailed, with a story line and everything. It was a mix, I think, of Doctor Who, these Kim Harrison books I just finished reading, and my own weird imagination, but it was one of those dreams where you wake up thinking, gosh, I wish I could have recorded that.

Basically the 'plot' centered around a man that was using his children - two boys and a girl - to further some magic agenda he had. The father tricked the daughter into killing a rabbit to take her 'blood innocence' (Hai, Xena!) and it totally messed her up for some reason. The father was trying to bring someone back. I think it was the Master.

Weird.

I think, quite possibly, the people in charge of writing Ben Ten: Alien Force (shut up, it's a good show) are fans of Doctor Who. Why you ask?

Well, the team met up with this man, called "Paradox" who had disappeared in the 50s while trying to create a time machine.

He was able to manipulate the time vortex (yes, they called it that) to travel through time and space.

He'd travelled through for so many years, he was extremely intelligent.

He wore a suit and a long duster.

He was British.

He had a fob watch.

Coincidence?

The best line he had was when he was talking about being stuck in the time thing. "I went quite mad. After awhile, I got bored with that, so I went sane."

Ooh, the Rachel Morgan books! Did you like them? Without a doubt one of my favorite book series.

Yeah, I really liked them. I have to say the very last one, Outlaw Demon Wails, was my favorite to date. It flowed better than the others. Not that the others weren't good, but sometimes they tended to drag in the middle.

TOTALLY didn't see the twist about her dad coming. Really cool.

Ooh, are the Kim Harrison books still good? I was mildly worried because the first one was like the first Anita Blake book in a way. I might re-read the first one and then buy the others...

They are MUCH better than the Anita Blake books.

Sometimes they get a bit slow in the middle, but over all the stories are really fun and Rachael is great. And Jenks is the best.

\o/ ROCK. I hate seeing a series of books go down the drain.

I had a dream about two men and a woman. Two men were not nice. One was trying to help. All three were eaten by sharks. The woman who was a relative was saved from the shark. I don't know how. Wierd. I just thought the numbers kind of similar. May be not. Whatever.
