I htink you have me confused with gwinky. No. There are lots of well-hung reptiles, though, in my phantom rooms. And it smells like hickory farms, and there are felines and baby chickens. And a hamburger grill. And some dog with lots of heads.

Actually, honestly I don't remember other than thinking "but there is no room like that in my house" (or my old house, or whatever).


ETA I do remember some hot guy who is wearing a red (women's) bikini, though. I lust for him. He has an accent with really flat vowels and talks about bears (but not lions or tigers) a lot.

You four-timing bitch. You can have someone else apply aloe to your back and read you poetry from now on.

There's a Thurgreed joke in here somewhere.

the monkey has double diet coke cans and intimidates me. I wake up crying and sore, but strangely relaxed.

And there's a square-jawed, serious guy with a newspaper who does things to me I can't describe. Also wake up relaxed. That room is decorated in black and white and shades of grey. Gray. Whichever.

OK, I'm out.

Do you ever feel like you aren't making any sense? Just curious.

Curb appeal adds a lot of value to the house when you go to resell it. The brick - since it has nothing to do with structural integrity - only has to show on the front. Besides, what would the 3rd pig live in?

The concept is called "schadenfreude" in German, and it's been around almost since the beginning of psychiatry. It's not a new concept.

No, I'm not describing schadenfreude. Schadenfreude is wallowing in the ill fortune of another who either deserved it or you perceived as deserving it. What this psychiatrist was talking about was a bizarre feeling of comfort and satisfaction people feel when seeing horrible things happen to others to whom they bear no ill will. He was describing a twisted feeling of comfort people get from going to funerals (hey, thank god that ain't me) or seeing accidents (that's awful, I'm so glad I'm here, safe). Its a sort of perverted thankfulness and appreciation of the fact that you're not in the coffin or smeared across the road or facing criminal charges. I guess maybe its a backward appreciation of life/good fortune which only manifests itself when we're faced with just how bad shit could get...

Frequently.

There's a screaming bitchy chick with stupid shit pinned to her shirt in a room filled with purple foam in some of the dreams. She keeps trying to make me order more cheese sticks. It's unpleasant.

Makes it look bigger - thus, more bang for your buck.

Building a pre-fab Happy Meal with excessive palladia is like trimming your pubes*...it's done to make it look bigger. In both instances, you're not fooling anyone.

*trimming them so your SO doesn't get pubes stuck in her teeth is okay though.

Big deal. People are listening to disco again too. That doesn't prove it was ever worthy. It just establishes yet again that those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.

I got news for you. People never stopped listening to disco. Been to wedding or sporting event in the past 20 years?
