Random thoughts for random times...
At some point either waking or dreaming, I realized I was having a dream, and then the following line came to me, which I must work into a story sometime: "'I wasn't have a dream', he said, and then yakoved, 'The dream was having me.'"
Beth and I saw movie, streamed from NetFlix, called "Arctic Blast". Our main takeaway from it was, "Hey, New Zealand looks like a pretty nice place to live." According to this film, the ozone layer is like a thin sheet of a saran wrap that supports a vast layer of super-frigid air, and if you tear a hole in the ozone layer, the super-frigid air will pour down through the hole and travel the world, looking like a bank of fog. As long as you don't let the fog touch you, you won't freeze. You can, for example, stand on one side of a thin wooden door and see someone instantly frozen on the other side, without feeling any cold yourself. It's like Cloudkill, only, with cold. Aside from the ridiculousness of the physics, meteorology, etc, isn't "the ozone layer" a pretty 1970s kind of eco-disaster? We are so beyond holes in the ozone now. Then again, I understand New Zealand is a little behind the times, in general. I mean, they're just getting around to making a movie of the Hobbit there; we had one made by Rankin Bass in the 1970s.

Well, the polar ozone hole is bigger in the southern hemisphere, so it's a bit more on their minds there than here. But yeah, discussing it makes me feel so... old, because I remember hearing about it while in grammar school.
Can't think of New Zealand without also thinking of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11NtJ9JDeE8
Hey, Arctic Blast! I worked on that! (Sorry... ^_^'')
@V-Man - Hey, so, I'm replying 5 months late. What did you do on it? FX, script, acting, camera? I love bad movies, so please, don't take my comments too harshly.
