I had a dream where,
among MANY other wack things, I was in Sweden at a football game and went to buy a hot dog during halftime. Price was 5 Euros. Now despite the fact that Sweden doesn’t use the Euro, I only had dollars on me, so I went to hand the guy like 7 bucks since that would cover it via the exchange rate. The guy wouldn’t take it all, saying I had the exchange rate wrong and that it would only be...

So it's almost midnight on a Saturday
and I’m sitting in bed, listening to orchestral music (granted, it’s the Suite for Ma Dukes J-Dilla album), reading. I might even make some tea.
When did I become like 40 years old?
Though in my defense, it’s like 20˚F outside. Fuck that.

Does anyone else wonder why our political process gives such importance to 121,964 people, in a state of just 3,062,309 people, in a nation of 312,884,000 people? That’s .039% of the population. I mean, I’m glad it’ll start to root out some of the crazies, but santorum is going to be everywhere for the next few weeks. No one wants that.
