LOOK OUT HERE! THE SLIME'S COMING HOME!

Nothing really gets you back in that "ok, life is ummm... ok" mood than watching Red Dwarf. That series really rocks! Not as funny as some of the mainstream UK comedies, but this one is on top of my chart. Holly (the ships computer) sums the whole premise up in the intro of the series...

"...This is an S.O.S. distress call from the mining ship Red Dwarf. The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak. The only survivors are Dave Lister, who was in suspended animation during the disaster, and his pregnant cat, who was safely sealed in the hold. Revived three million years later, Lister's only companions are a life-form who evolved from his cat, and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram simulation of one of the dead crew."
Rimmer is played by the butler in Tomb Raider, Chris Barrie.

Additional: Just when I got that whole earthquake thing out of my system, what happens? I get another tingling vibe!!! Hoookay! This is about ten days or so from now and doesn't seem to point in an eq kind of situation. It's more manmade... Let's see what happens...
Oh... and here's the theme song:

It's cold outside,
There's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone,
More or less.
Let me fly
Far away from here.
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie
Shipwrecked and comatose,
Drinking fresh
Mango juice.
Goldfish shoals
Nipping at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.

I pack my bags
And heading into hyperspace,
Velocity
At timewarp speed.
Spend my days
In ultraphonic bays,
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.

We're locked on course
straight to the universe,
You and me,
And the galaxy.
We've reached the stage
Where I'll have to trash the gauge
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.
