I confess

I still think flash mobs are neat. I know they're considered passé, but I dunno, there's something kinda magical about them, right? It's the closest we're gonna get to the world breaking out in song.

I hate it when the mean, nasty voices in my head are proven right.

Honestly, we deserve our own TV show

Andy: THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS

Me: what?

Andy: I said THE LEMONHEADS ARE COMING IN FOUR WEEKS

Me: who's coming in what weeks?

Andy: sorry, it may not have been clear
Sometimes I have a hard time being direct in my communication

Me: I'm not sure I'm getting it...

Andy: THERE IS A BAND
THAT BAND IS CALLED THE LEMONHEADS
A WEEK IS A PERIOD OF TIME CONSISTING OF SEVEN DAYS, EACH OF WHICH CONSISTS OF 24 HOURS, EACH OF WHICH CONSISTS OF 60 MINUTES, EACH OF WHICH CONSISTS OF 60 SECONDS
SO ANYWAY
IN FOUR WEEKS
THE LEMONHEADS
(the band I mentioned earlier)
IS COMING TO DENVER

Me: slow down

Andy: DENVER IS A LARGE CITY AND THE CAPITAL OF COLORADO, WHICH IS A STATE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHICH IS A COUNTRY IN NORTH AMERICA, WHICH IS A CONTINENT ON EARTH, WHICH IS A PLANET

Me: so...agh...there's a--a week that's called denver..? and it's going to be a lemon in seven days?
I'm sorry, I don't--I'm just not getting it.

Andy: you'll understand when you're older.

Me: WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT TO ME

(SUPER)AGE

My dream last night featured the following:

Egyptian hieroglyphics*
Kevin Heffernan (Farva from Super Troopers)
Betrayal
Rage
The guy who played Connor in The Slammin' Salmon
Cheeto grass
Magical powers (hence the ability to turn grass into Cheetos)
Rashida Jones
Intrigue
A mystery to be solved--complete with a mystery-solving team of friends (an all-star cast!)
Vampires
Vampire Rashida Jones
Tattoos on the inside of eyelids*

*The hieroglyphics translated into what can be represented by the following:
(SUPER)AGE
which means "Super Rage." This was tattooed on the inside of Connor's eyelid. It is his very favorite hieroglyphics-based phrase. This came into play when we team members were trying to find out Connor's computer password to solve the case (he had been killed by vampire Rashida Jones, I think). We tried "SUPERAGE" but it didn't work. It was my idea to include the all-important parentheses. I woke up before I found out if it worked.

Wish you all could have been there.

Just today

I've been having a major yen for the 1990s.

Happy. Happy. Loves.

Drop, Drop Slow Tears

Drop, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet,
Which brought from Heav’n
The news and Prince of Peace.

Cease not, wet eyes,
His mercies to entreat;
To cry for vengeance:
Sin doth never cease.

In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let His eye see
Sin, but through my tears.
