As of about 4 pm yesterday, I've lived in Los Angles for 5 years. FIVE. YEARS.
It's been a mixed experience.
It's been a mixed experience.
I was on "Beat the Geeks" for a reason. If you guys didn't get to see my episode, you missed a charming spectacle of thrills (is he gonna make it past the first round?),chills (it was fucking freezing in the studio), and spills (I knew as soon as I said it out loud that "Kal-El" wasn't Superman's real dad's name). Granted that was almost 5...

So, if they were to release a two-disc, bells & whistles, director's cut version of a year of my life, it would have to be 1996. My awesome year, my golden summer, and an all around magical time to be alive.
I moved out of my parents...

Are there such things as dream suppressants?
Are there such things as dream suppressants?
Two things I've been doing way too much of lately:
1)Playing on my damn computer
and
2)Watching Futurama on DVD.
But where else would I have gotten such awesome words of wisdom such as these?-
"I used to dream about being an astronaut. I just never had the grades. Or the physical endurance. Plus I threw up a lot and nobody liked spending a week...

So why is it, dear readers, that I can get on stage in front of tons of strangers and rip off my pants and feel totally at home (not that it happens alot)... But if you put me in a social context I get totally spazzed out and scared? Food for thought. And if you weren't at the Muse Project on 5/4, you really missed...

I know exactly what you mean. I think the difference is that by getting on a stage, you're putting on a show, there's a bit of license to be crazy, and if someone calls you on it, you can hide behind the "show". That's not really you, perhaps. But in a social context, you're expected to be "yourself", there's more of an accountability for your actions because there's nothing to hide behind. That's the conclusion I've come to, at least.
WHAT THE FUCK DO I WANT FROM A RELATIONSHIP ANYWAY?!!!

Another disturbing dispatch from the dream journal.
If you've never read H.P. Lovecraft, I can't recommend him highly enough.He's like this sort of early 20th century Stephen King mixed with Edgar Allen Poe, and his shit's genuinely creepy. A couple of his stories have even been made into movies, most notably "Re-Animator," although the original is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay creepier than the movie.
Now, in his story,"Call...

I haven't been having "death of all humanity" dreams, but I have had some really disturbing, violent dreams on a smaller scale lately. Maybe it's something in the air

Haha...dude, thats brilliant!

There's a JET in Kyoto who writes an editorial about his experiences, and once he had a penpal exchange in which an American kid wrote about Easter. Here's what happened:
"Well, resurrection means when someone who's died comes back to life." I explained to the student. He nods in understanding. "Okay," he says, "now, who's this Jesus character?" Again, Christmas in Japan is all about the man in the big red suit. "Well, Jesus was a man..." I start to say. Before I can even finish my sentence, the boy looks up and me and says "Oh! So, Jesus was a zombie then?"
(You can find more gems here. Some of it's pretty damn amusing. A friend originally sent me the link when I mentioned I had problems with students groping me 
)
I had the idea for this last night as I was going to bed. After an evening of fighting collapse and being surrounded by dancing girls, I thought it best to just get some sleep...maybe I should've written it then...oh well.
As I was checking my email the other evening, I was really taken by the glowing light on the bottom of my webcam. It...
