7 15 am

I had a horrible dream that the smoke detector went off in my apartment. The noise was deafening and I could not shut it off. I lived on the campus of the elementary school where I worked and parents were arriving with thier kids (lots of movie stars and other wealthy people used to getting their way). My mom showed up and began criticising me. I pressed every button and turned every screw. I couldn't figure out what else to do. I woke up to the deafening noise of the alarm clock, which has only woke me a handful of times before.

11 24 pm

Watching Pitch Black tonight rounded out my recent-space-movie genre viewing, though it's really more of a horror movie set on a foreign planet than a space film. I have seen:

• Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)
• Mission to Mars (2000)
• Pitch Black (2000)
• Red Planet (2000)
• Space Cowboys (2000)
• Galaxy Quest (1999)
• Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
• Lost in Space (1998)
• Armageddon (1998)
• Dark City (1998)
• Sphere (1998)
• Starship Troopers (1997)
• Alien: Resurrection (1997)
• Contact (1997)
• Event Horizon (1997)
• The Fifth Element (1997)

I missed a few, but were any of them worth seeing?
