"he's one of those human beings who's sort of filled with honey."

um, sweetest quote ever?  yeah, i'd say so.  it's a quote said by the writer Jonathan Ames.  and he's saying it about J.Schwartz.  aw, so nice!  in the new HBO show 'Bored to Death' Jason plays Jonathan Ames.  loosely based on the real person.  he plays a writer who pretends to be a private detective.  AND, even better than anything is that we can all watch the first episode ONLINE RIGHT NOW FOR FREE!!!!!  and it doesn't even air until sunday!!

i can't believe i forgot to watch it last night.  but, i was at work when i got the tweet.  Coconut Records tweeted it.  i can't wait to see it.  maybe i'll watch it this afternoon.  it's only 30 minutes.  so, we all should be able to watch.  

so, it's 8:22 in the morning.  tuesday morning.  i've got 4.25 hours of sleep under my belt.  that's not too bad.  

i was thinking that after work at 9 i would just stay awake until we have to leave for the doctor's appointment at 10:20.  but, now i'm thinking that i might go back to sleep.  

i just love doing nothing but lying in my bed.  it's got to be the best.  

and then we should be out of the appointment by 11am.  so, i can also come back here then and take a nap.  i doubt i'll stay awake until staff meeting at 1pm.  that's like, 2 hours!  you expect me to be awake for two hours in the morning/early afternoon?!  as if!

ha.  as if.  

let's see what else is up.  

i had a dream during a chunk of that 4.25 hours that i was in this big parking lot of a McDonald's.  and this super important guy wearing this nice, fancy suit ordered some chicken nuggets and fries.  and he sat down with them at a table inside McDonald's.  and he just waited there for a minute, not touching the food.  and then Obama came over, sat down, and started eating.  

yep.  that was my dream!  almost as great as the dream where i went to Claire's!  

but two nights ago i had this other dream.  and i didn't remember it until i got into bed this morning, which was kind of weird and unexpected.  

but, this dream was set in a place that i've dreamt about before.  it's this old, run down mansion.  kind of like the mansion at the end of Great Expectations.  the Alfonso Cuaron version.  the kind of place that's almost more beautiful in ruin than it was at it's prime.  

and, i have to live in this place for a few days.  in both dreams i kind of ended up there by accident.  and then ended up living on the second floor.  i actually might have had the same dream twice.  i can't really remember.  but, i do remember that in both dreams i was able to unlock these locked doors in the back of my room, and they led to this other part of the house that was totally falling apart.

like, in the most recent dream, i opened the locked door and it was this sitting room type thing.  or wait, was it a nursery?  hm, now i can't remember.  it might have actually been a nursery.  and, everything was covered in dust.  and i looked down at the floor and there was this huge crack in it.  and it was this really beautiful wooden floor if it hadn't been for this crack.  it was almost like the floor was split into two layers.  like, you could see down to the floor below.  

i guess maybe, "rip" is a better word than "crack."  a giant rip in the floor.  hm, i don't know.

and then in both dreams also, i find enough hidden rooms that i am able to walk in a circle.  it's like, a letter A shaped upstairs, or something.  and my bedroom is where the middle line of the A connects to the side.  and so, i walk around through the other rooms until i end up back at mine.  but, there's one point where it all opens up to this giant foyer.  like, with marble floors and a chandelier.  and it's the only non-ruined part of the house.  

and i can't remember what actually takes place in this giant ruined mansion.  but i'm definitely sure that i've had two dreams there.

this is unlike the other dreams i've had that are set in the same place.  specifically the one that is set in a mall.  and it's this weird underground mall where everything is tinted blue.  and i go into this back room and there are a bunch of people sitting around a table shredding jeans.  like, shredding them with knives.  

and so, i start too.  and we're all doing this for a while.  and then the lady next to me leans in and whispers, "don't look now, but there's a man with a gun behind you."  

and then i always wake up.  i think i've had it 3 times.  it's very weird.

anyways.  dreams are so crazy, ya know?  it's like, all the rest of the time we can pretty much control what we're thinking about.  except when we're sleeping.  that's so weird to think about.  just think about how powerless you are when you're asleep.  it's actually kind of scary.

so.  what else.  i don't know.  i just don't know.  

it's 8:47am.  13 more minutes of work.  

speaking of thirteen, i was looking up Ben Kweller covers on youtube last night.  because remember how i love supporting the raw talent of america?  yep.  and i also am going through this cover song phase which i love.  and i found a pretty good cover of Thirteen.  which, is a BK song that i totes love because i just think it's so beautiful.  

also, downloaded most of Ben Lee's CD, 'Ripe,' which i didn't have.  love it!  love it.  so far my fave tracks are:  'love me like the world is ending,' 'ripe,' and 'sex without love.'

but, i was listening to 'Sex Without Love,' which is also a pretty hott song, and i was like, "what the heck song does this remind me of??!!?"  and it was driving me crazy.  because, i could hear the other song in my head, but i couldn't tell what it was, ya know?  

and then i finally figured it out - Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer!!!'  YEP.  they totes sound like the same song.  go right now and listen to those songs.  

OH HERE:  i'll make it so much easier for you!


great!  i'll give you some time to go do that....

......
......

ok great!  on the cd, it says that he performs the song with Benji Madden.  which, i think it kind of random a lot.  but, awesome?  i didn't know he was friends with the Madden clan.  but, i actually think the song was written (or co-written) by our friend Robert Schwartzman.  or, so says wikipedia.

ANYWAYS.  9:01am now.  time for me to go.  it's been fun talking to you this morning.

have a great day!  i'll talk to you later!!!
