... Like I said, weird dreams.
Nov. 1st, 2012 03:54 pmSo, long story, but I didn't end up getting much sleep on Halloween. And when I did, boy, did I have another dream doozy.
Before I slept, I discovered that H.M. Wynant's first Perry appearance was as the main guest star in The Daring Decoy. I remembered the episode, but not that it was him. So I watched it again, squealed, and renewed my interest in getting the season 1 DVDs. (Season 1 is not my favorite Perry season, mainly for characterization reasons. But there are some episodes I like. This is now one of my main ones for season 1.)
Daniel Conway is the first H.M. character I can officially bill as cute and adorable. Squeeee. He's a hapless businessman who ends up caught in a trap and accused of murder. He seems to be a loner, as unlike most Perry defendants, he has no family and no close friends to turn to, aside from Perry the company attorney. But he is quite sweet, friendly, and amiable. And he has a fedora. That is important. Yes.
So anyway, then I doze off to sleep a bit later, after a brief insomnia struggle concerning my excitement over future story ideas. I dream I'm at Home Base, which is a now-defunct superstore similar to Home Depot. Only the thing is Home Base in name only; inside it's a mixture of a book and a crafting store. That's getting pretty bizarre already.
I wander about and some strange things happen that I'm not sure I want to document here. Following that, I continue wandering the store and run across someone I quite like. In the dream I seem to be calling him "Pinto" or "the guy who played Pinto", and I seem to think the episode guest-starring him aired recently. Who knows; in this verse it seems to have. He confirms his identity and we stroll through Home Base. We seem to have some romantic attraction to each other.
... In reality, Pinto is not my favorite H.M. character, I would be utterly terrified to stroll with him anywhere, and of course, the episode aired long ago. If we're talking actor and not character, I'd love to meet H.M. sometime. He's still alive, 85, and must have married a younger woman, as I've heard he's currently raising a 12-year-old daughter. And he's still acting, too. Awesome.
I'm just puzzling over why in the world, of all of H.M.'s characters, my brain would pick Pinto. Possibly because he was the first Wild Wild West character to grab my interest before I watched The Sudden Plague for the first time in about a year?
Who knows. Good grief.
