Odd dream

[darcydodo]

I actually remembered part of a dream from last night, so once again, it now gets posted. I should have done this earlier, when the dream was fresher in my mind.

I dreamt that Amelia had, for some reason, downloaded my undergraduate thesis (which is, in fact, up on the web, but only 'cause I went and stored a backup copy there) and wanted to use it in her class, and I didn't see why it would be of any use. (It's on the gates of ivory and horn at the end of Aeneid Book 6, incidentally.) She said that Alex was already using it, and I somehow worked out that the copy he had was just the really short essay I'd originally written on the subject. Given that they were both finding it so useful, I decided that maybe I should think again about fixing it up for publication. I know the dream was, in fact, more complex than this, but it's mostly gone now. I really should've written it up this morning.

There was also some strange and painful sort of enema thing that I was trying to avoid, hopefully in a different dream.

On other, unrelated musings: I couldn't help but notice the similarities between X-Men's Rogue and ME's Gwen. Anybody pondered this before?

Yes. Very much discussion about that when Gwen first appeared, actually. Not too much to say, though, really. They are similar. ME maybe not so creative in that regard. Le sigh.

Glad that it's not just my mind playing tricks on me, then. :)

Amelia and I thought the same thing - although obviously I had a harder time remembering the specifics, and still don't know exactly what Rogue does - but I remember that it seemed obvious that that's who Gwen was modelled on. Not that the line of thought goes any further...

I went and looked her up. Apparently she sucks memories and powers out of people's bodies. I didn't see evidence of this, I just saw them going all veiny. Maybe more was made of it in the first movie? (If you're too scared of losing an ear, I'll ask Amelia. *grin*)
