Pickles & Dimes

Can you see the subliminal message in this can of mushrooms that Jason has saved and forbids me to eat?

From Tina, who sent me the link to my next knitting project:

This is so completely awesome, you have no idea. Thanks, Tina!

Let’s talk about dreams, shall we?

Hey, where are you going?

Look, I know hearing about other people’s dreams is boring, and dumb, and lame. See also: BORING, I SAID.

But I know you’ve had really weird dreams, right? And I just want you to share them with me.

DO IT.

C’mon. Tell me about the weirdest, most vivid, scariest or Best Evah dream you’ve had (it can be more than one). I’m totally interested. Really.

I’ll go first.

My worst dream: When I was shot in the stomach and I stood in the middle of a grassy field, dying, trying to hold my slippery intestines from spooling onto the grass.

Weirdest: When I was called into the principal’s office to be informed that Cher was my mother.

Most vivid: The one I had last night, where I was being attacked by a giant black rat. It was horrifying: black, rabid, with sharp, pointy teeth and - oh, did I mention it was a stuffed rat? As in a plush toy? No? Well, screw you; it was still terrifying.

Best: The one where I figured out I could fly. I happened to be inside a movie theater.

Your turn!

(* One of my favorite movies - I love me some Michael Keaton.)

I really feel bad for Jason, because he had to endure me blathering on about creating this masthead:

Me: Look, I made the iPod from scratch.

Jason: Uh-huh.

Me: Dude, from scratch!

Jason: That’s cool.

Me: I even used the words “pickles,” “dimes” and “bacon” for the menu screen!

Jason: That’s great.

Me: And I added dimes to the musical notes and a shaded pickle behind the iPod so it still stays with the P&D theme!

Jason: Are we done here?

Me: And I created the typography myself, too - from scratch!

Jason: I’m out of here.

Me: From SCRATCH!
