11:31 am - awesome dream
I dreamed I was watching a show on PBS. Mayor Bloomberg was on it. He said this:
"Everyone knows that parts one, two, and three are what's important--the rest is immaterial. I don't know if that's what the Japanese think about it, but that is the city of New York's position."
Also, he was a cyclops.

01:22 pm - dream envy
I dreamed most of my female friends were crazy about "the new electronic music group, Stray Melon!" I tried so hard not to let it show but I am very envious of Stray Melon.

12:47 am - I dropped a peanut on the floor....
...and the two halves went an equal distance.
This reminded me of flunking senior physics because (well, only partly because) I lost my calculator and was too cheap to buy another one because it would cut into my record buying money (yeah, this was the kid being groomed for the Ivy League...), of Mr. Mitchell telling Chris Bourque "You reek of the reefer," of someone apologizing for having bad breath because he had hard teeth (or maybe it was soft teeth), of the red drink in the dining hall, and finding an old old penny in a piece of cake there, of how my drummer at the time always chose the dish that required the most forking and kniving, of Mr. Mitchells unrealized promise to perform the gunshot-through-spinning-discs experiment described in our text book, those black laboratory counters, Mr Boyd describing sublimation (solid changing to liquid) as the ultimate fabric softener, of Mr McIntyre letting the school bus roll into a lake with everybody's books and clothes and homework in it, of my eventual bass player and most amazing and loyal friend chasing me down the 5th floor hall (both of us in fencing gear) and smacking me with an epee.
Then I ate the peanut.

12:45 am - more on a dear subject
Actually, "Sandy" by John Travolta (from Grease) and "Hungry Heart" would be a nice mashup that everybody could enjoy.

10:19 pm - odd, ugly words I wondered about the meaning of as a kid
Ormolu : it's fake gold.
Orgeat : basically, the same thing as "horchata".
Gutta-percha : still don't know.
Where did I hear these?

12:17 am - please don't waste your life
When I see something like this, I don't know why I even bother:

I have a tiny talent, and I do try to take care of it and use it, but I have nothing in-born. I wish so badly that I did. Or I wish I had gone to school to study drawing instead of law. To know law well is nice. I'm glad some people I like actually bother with it. But I can't think of anything more admirable than to be able to draw really really well.
