It's something Hawaiian, right? |

This, from some chat room: 'It got me thinking about the Hawaiian tradition of Luaow (sp?) where they dig a big pit, partially fill it with hot coals, and leave a complete pig in there to cook all night (or all day?).'  |

leave a complete pig in there to cook all night I always thought revenge was a dish best taken cold... |

It's spelled luau, I think.
loo-ow?
Or as the French put it:
l'ooh waouw!

Thanks for correcting the spelling attempted in recalling the raw er, emotion that is the Slough experience(however by chance I think -aow may be correct`in the local patois)
HH, I've had a few disturbing ones of that ilk and may I offer my empathy. I think psychodynamics/ whatever are knocking around there in a healthy way. The 'frozen' kind of thing has come up in several futuristic efforts filmically (eg Bourne Identity, Cold Lazarus, surprisingly good mystical J Lopez thing I can't recall the title of )which makes me wonder if it isnt redolent of some archetype?

I thought it might have been triggered by the death of Cap'n Birdseye.  |

Yes, I think dust is organic, isn't it?
Or is dust the non-organic one??? There's a line in Angels in America about that. I might actually have to go and watch it to find the quote, although I don't think I'll manage all 6 episodes tonight. Been meaning to watch 4-6 again for a while now, though ...

Another one bizarre enough to remember. I got involved in some kind of spy activity, secret hidey-holes, hidden transmitters, dodging baddies &c. And some very interesting locations; a red-brick uni, abandoned (bombed out?) house, government office. I think it had something to do with protecting some information, or technology, but I can't remember ever knowing exactly what. |

Last night I dreamt I was appearing in a play - odd as I haven't done any acting since school plays aged 10 or 11. The first performance was imminent and I suddenly realised that I was relying on winging it ie I hadn't learnt my lines - and I didn't know them  So a friend had to phone the director and ask him to get someone to sub for me reading from a copy of the script. I've never been any good at learning things off by heart but I don't get worried about it. "Learn off by heart" is an odd phrase isn't it? I had another vivid dream earlier which woke me while it was still dark but I can't remember it now. |

"Learn off by heart" is an odd phrase isn't it? Not as funny as "penetrates straight to the heart of the music's soul", which I read in a review this morning (Keith Potter of all people!). |

...and not just actors, Ron!  It's a classic performance anxiety dream, that is. Have you got a, er, performance coming up then, Andy? |
