The other night I had a dream that Yoshi was lying on his back on a bed, and he was holding a water bottle in his paws as if he had opposable thumbs. He tipped the bottle and drank from it. After he had some, he held the bottle over the edge of the bed so that Claire could drink from it also.
Although it was so vivid, I could immediately tell that it was a dream. Because Yoshi would never, ever do anything that nice for Claire.

So after about half a year of it sitting on my bedroom floor, I've started reading American Gods again. It took me that half-year to read about 80 pages, and in the past three or four days I've read another 85. Go me!
The raven cawed from the edge of the clearing.
"You want me to follow you?" asked Shadow. "Or has Timmy fallen down another well?" The bird cawed again, impatiently. Shadow started walking toward it. It waited until he was close, then flapped heavily into another tree, heading somewhat to the left of the way Shadow had originally been going.
"Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are."
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.
"Say 'Nevermore,'" said Shadow.
"Fuck you," said the raven. It said nothing else as they went through the woodland together.

Dave Atell is quite possibly the funniest man alive.

"What do I have to complain about, anyway?" Ed asked his Picasso. "I'm a millionaire!"
This wasn't actually true. Ed's Picasso was an obvious forgery, and this three Rothkos had recently been singled out in an article in Artforum entitled, "The Three Most Insignificant Paintings of Mark Rothko."

Oh, look. It's past my bedtime.
Um, I'm listening to Radiohead's The Bends, which I consider to be their best record. You're either with me or against me on this one.
Well, here's what I'm going to do today.
- Get some sleep.
- Go to work.
- Buy the new Weezer and Get Up Kids albums.
- Talk to Meg.
- Watch the telly.
Goodnight!

Coach McGuirk: Melissa, Brendan! Come here. That's right, on the double. Hustle it up!
Brendan: Yeah?
Melissa: Coach, are we in trouble?
Coach McGuirk: I want you to look at my gums.
Brendan: I don't want to look at your gums.
Melissa: No.
Coach McGuirk: C'mon, I can't see them from here.
Brendan: Alright.
Melissa: Gross!
Coach McGuirk: They bleeding?
Brendan: Yep. You hurt yourself?
Coach McGuirk: No, Brendan. It's called gingivitis.
Brendan: Like on TV.
Coach McGuirk: Right. And the movies.

Hi Christina,
How are you? So, your AIM name never comes up as logged on. What's up wit dat? heehee. It's manswani, right? That's what's in my buddy list. Anyways...
I was wondering if A) Amy was still gonna move to New Orleans and B) if she is, do you need a roommate? I might know someone who might need a room.
Hope you're doing well!
Jeff
PS Rumor alert: Remember Colleen from college? The lesbian? Well, word has it she's all about kissing boys now.

Jeffrey!!!
I'm so excited to hear from you. How's everything going?
Yes, Amy is still moving to New Orleans and yes, I still need a new roommate. I'm looking for someone who could move in July 1 (or sometime around there). It would be great if you had a recommendation...do I know her?
Regarding my AIM username...you're lame. Let me know what your username is and I'll put it on my list and send you a message. That's really weird that it's not working.
Talk to you soon,

One time, I knew a girl named Colleen. The story goes something like this.
Boy meets supercute girl.
Boy falls for girl.
Boy finds out girl is a lesbian.
Boy's fragile little heart is mashed.
Boy and girl graduate from university.
Girl moves to the other side of the country.
Oh, how nice it would be to say that the story ends there. But the machinery that is my silly life moves forward. Yesterday I received a news flash about our adorable little Colleen.
Upon arrival at the other side of the country, and in an abrupt change in lifestyle, girl starts making out with boys a lot.

hey jackass, (when i first typed this i messed up and it said 'hackass'. heh.)
you taped alias, right? because if you did, then i didn't really miss it, and i won't be haunted. but if you didn't, then i will have to kill you. i realized as i was sending the email that i haven't talked to dale recently and that he probably didn't even know that i was in europe. so that's sort of funny. so when are you and megan getting hitched? and how is her family taking the news? (not of the pseudo-wedding, but just of the non-mormon asian boy that she has had many a sleepover with) I forgot to ask you about that before i left. and i'm sure you'll want to discuss it at length over email. Anyway, i'm off to rome tomorrow, obscenely early. i'm excited. talk to you soon.

hi hackass,
i will keep this concise, as i'm sure you don't have much time at a computer.
i have a pleasant surprise waiting for you when you return! it's so rad that you won't want to get a job ever. you'll just want to stay home all the time. i'll see if i can keep it a secret.
yes, i recorded alias, but what will haunt you is that you have to wait a whole month to see it. mwuhahah.
meg's mom offered to let me stay at her house if i ever visit utah. at least that's what megan told me. so i guess that covers the parental issue. her kid sister already likes me (just from online chats).
NONE of her family know about the sharing-a-bed-at-night thing, though.
okay, okay, i couldn't keep the secret any longer. me and megan are getting married at the end of may and she's moving here to live with us! surprise!
just kiddin'.
haha, you have to admit that was pretty funny.
I can totally see you not laughing, or even smiling, right now.
sincerely,
the hackass's roomate.

So we got smashed on Eos
Down around some Doric arch
And the trashed blonde Scandi
Mistook me for a Swede
Her slurred Medieval accent
Was like a puddle at my feet
You could see chopped tobacco in her teeth

DALES THE ONE WHO BROUGHT IT UP, I SWEAR. THE WHOLE MARRIAGE THING, THAT IS. HE'S OBSSESSED WITH HYPHENATED NAMES.
DON'T YOU LOVE CAPITAL LETTERS, YAY?
PPS DALE DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN EUROPE.

GOOD NIGHT.

Now I stand atop a rubble pile that once was my home but I have saved a brick each time I watched a buliding fall to dust.
And I will build my own house with the bricks I've kept throughout the years, on the installment plan.

When I am King, I will create a law that forbids the question "So what're you up to tonight" to be used in a casual manner intended for conversational purposes only. I will require that the question always include an invitation to do something.

Oh yeah, by the way. If anyone's looking for some webspace, email me! My host gave me a freaking thousand MB, which I have no idea what to do with. I'm up for hosting, I think I can have 15 users or something.
