“Make sure the water’s running before you make it yellow.”

I love new music. Especially old music and music that’s like nothing I currently listen to. Insert Neil Young. Just bought his Unplugged album. Fantastic. What inspired me to listen to him? Seeing him perform Long May You Run on Conan’s last show. That was a great acoustic version.
Up in the Air and Futernick
During the dancing scene at the Tech Convention…
Natalie: What’s your name?
Augie leans over to me and says: That guy looks like Futernick.
Guy: My name is Dave.
Augie and I start laughing hysterically while the rest of the theatre wonders what’s going on.
Dreams I Had Last Night

For some reason I’ve been having really vivid dreams and remembering more of them. Here are some that I remember, or at least the ones I can even attempt to put in words:

Cable Company Disputes →
I’m pissed about this. Just as I started getting into Home and Garden Network, they take it away (I’m shopping for a house and it gave me ideas of what I could do). Cable companies and channel providers need to stop being so greedy. It’s annoying not being able to watch the shows that I want to see. Not mentioned in this article, but equally important, NFL Network and it’s...
