inception complex

K: Inception?
***
b1: i've never seen it. i've heard it's good.
***
K: I have it. We can watch when you're in town if you like. Won't take
24 hours.
***
b1: i don't think i've ever sat next to you on a couch for that short of
a period of time. maybe i could view it as seconds, then it'd be
24SOI.
***
K: I'll act like an idiot. That will make it seem longer.
***
b1: there's type casting.

you should see our realities

solid G: I had a dream I was on another cruise. This time it was on san
francisco bay. Royal Caribbean. They had an infinity pool at the bow,
(real sea water so it was cold), a replica of a 1950s Paul Bunyan-esque
campsite from Minnesota, complete with dusty flea-ridden furniture (no
one seemed to be staying in those cabins), a kind of hippie
entertainment village with stores that sold crystals and tie dye (Laurie
Anderson was working the counter at the one store I wandered into), and
they had the first Days Inn at sea on this boat, which I guess was
supposed to be a good thing. This is what happens when you catalog check
too many cruise ship brochures.

***

K: That is impressive.

A few nights ago I dreamed I was turning around in a handicapped parking
space. A woman yelled at me.

That's the only dream I remember for several months.

***

b1: i had a dream that i'd had a super-realistic dream where i pulled
uncooked whole wheat spaghetti out of my ear. i went to show the
spaghetti to bo3b and zz, but when i did, there wasn't as much as i had
dreamed ... that confused me very much.

they were unimpressed by how little spaghetti i had and made jokes about
it.

i'm also, apparently, the most gullible person he's ever known

K: you're the least selfish non-caregiver I've ever known
*** b1: that's both funny and wrong. you need to get out more.

beyond the palin

b1:

***

K: 1. She's an idiot for using that phrase.

2. If her crosshairs map was meaningless, why did she (a) take it down
on Saturday and (b) laughably claim on Monday that they weren't
crosshairs but "surveyor's marks"?

***

b1: i don't know. i don't follow her at all and i can't understand why
anyone else does either. being obsessed with the obnoxious kid in the
lunchroom isn't what makes him go away.

***

K: Those obsessed with her don't want her to go away.

***

b1: the phrase "blood libel" didn't mean anything to me before i read
that article. just like i didn't know what "jaimie town" was before
jesse jackson used it.

she's the best possible news for the left because she's an
easy-simplistic target that could never win a presidency.

***

K: Yes. Probably.

***

b1: republican minorities (including women) are a problem for democrats
because they raise cognitive dissonance with a party they perceive to be
inherently prejudiced.

***

K: Don't overestimate Americans' intelligence.

***

b1: i've never bought into the concept that americans are collectively
dumb.

no one ever lost a battle by assuming their enemy was *smarter* than
they actually were.

oh my god, they killed special K! those bastards!

i had so much fun with clay that i decided to make us as south park characters.  i couldn't resist putting you in the state that you hate.

time for 46 hour fitness

K: I've been in a great mood for 45 hours. I'm probably about to have a heart attack.

i keep knockin', but ...

me: did you see yourself in clay?
***

1:17 PM special: I did. Is it accurate, would you say?
***

 me: as accurate as lego brick construction methods allow ...

  too much hair ...

  wrong beard ...

  etc.

1:18 PM i used that pic of you and momma K behind the iron curtain to do it as i went.
***

 special: well done.
***

 me: i think the eyes are very good.

1:19 PM you have that friendly-yet-completely-vacant look.
***

 special: that's me to a t
***

me: i dreamt of you and the clay figure last nightyou told me it didn't look like you.

  and you were super-skinny K. 

and i thought, "man, i guess i haven't actually seen him in a long time."
but you didn't look gaunt like you did when you were actual reality super-skinny K.

***

special: that sounds nice
***

 me: yeah.

  you were happy.

  but a little on the mean side.
***
special: because my drug was taken away
***

  me: you can tell i directed that film.
