How you know you're watching too much MSNBC
Ever since I found MSNBC on my bedroom TV (this model http://www.amazon.com/Hello-Kitty-13%2522-Color-KT2313/dp/B00021HBXQ), I've been watching it at night before bed. I usually put my wife to bed at 10 PM (after checking under the bed and her closet for either monsters or cats), then half-watch MSNBC while doing whatever I do at night. I'll catch Countdown, the Rachel Maddow Show, and Hardball, and by the time it cycles back to 1 AM Countdown, that's my cue to wrap it up - if I'm not in bed by the time it's over, I'm going to be sleep(ier) and grumpy(er) tomorrow.
So, I guess, I shouldn't be surprised that watching it right before bed has been having some strange effects. I had this dream that I was married to Rachel Maddow (of, amazingly enough, the Rachel Maddow Show). I never saw myself, but I do remember thinking we couldn't go to California or our marrige would be invalidated. See, California, you're scaring off the lucrative dream lesbian tourism market with that crap.
After that, it turned into one of my recurring nightmares where I have to go through college all over again. This time for some reason I had to take a bunch of math courses (it's normally computer science) - which is weird, because I don't like math, but I'm not like deathly afraid of it or anything. Rachel was there too, apparently also having to take math courses, or also just to be nice, I don't remember.
(In case you're wondering, dream rachel is very nice, but she always had the same outfit on [although come to think of it she almost always has the same outfit on during her show], and I also only ever saw her from the waist up, again like on her show most of the time. I think she's also good at algebra. )
So that's it: My brain's message to me is that I'm apparently a lesbian who hates college and math. And the lesson that I'm actually going to learn is: Don't watch MSNBC right before bed. I guess it could have been worse; I like Olbermann, but he's always so serious, and he comes off as a wet blanket. And none of us what to imagine what it's like being married to Chris Matthews. Yikes.
And, yes, I know it's said that nobody is interested in reading anyone else's dreams, but on the other hand, fuck you. *
