If I only had a brain...

It's interesting, that moment when you pass from pre-migraine into an actual migraine.

Yeah. The thing is, if you don't know what's coming, the pre-migraine is actually a transcendental state. Everything has really sharp edges. Sounds are clear. Shapes are four-dimensional rather than three-dimensional: stereo on steroids, if you will.

Then comes the crushing pain, so overall not an E-ticket ride.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My dreamcast:

Manny: Luke Wilson
Wyoh: Michelle Rodriguez
Kai: CCH Pounder
Stuart: Either Cillian Murphy or Brendan Fraser, I'm undecided
Mort the Wart: John Malkovich
Prof: Sir Ian
Alvarez: Christopher Maloney

This likely proves that while I have many talents, casting is not one of them.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Either Cillian Murphy or Brendan Fraser, I'm undecided

!

I haven't read the book, so now I'm gonna be all distracted trying to imagine a character that could be played by either of these two guys.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just wish I could remember who Stuart is, since I can totally see them being interchangeable. Or, well, easily defensible but differing interpretations of the same text.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously. I mean, I've only seen Cillian Murphy play creepy, so maybe he's not like that all the time, but still!

I dont have the book in front of me, Jess, so I'm not sure how much of Tim's vision is bleeding into my memory, but Stuart was sort of a wealthy brat with some influence on Terra, who was recruited by Prof and Manny to help create a bunch of Loonie Sympathisizers on Terra.

My first look at Cillian Murphy was in 28 Days Later, which included his penis, and so that was good.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Who is Kai?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Joss's wife.

Allyson is casting CCH Pounder as Joss's wife?
