OK, so being home w/ a sore throat for a couple of days is a great excuse to read and surf the web. I could do paperwork for my job but that just doesn't seem like a good use of a sick day. Anyways, not that I need to have an excuse but my mind is foggy.
I could entertain you w/ the silly dreams I've had. Being sick, my sleep cycle is a little bit "off" and then I remember dreams even though I usually don't. Boy, the weird dreams I've had in the past couple of nights include house shopping and the houses sometimes come w/ kids that have to be toilet trained and the houses also come with emotional baggage like ex-spouses; or a dream about being able to use hand gestures to tap into superpowers such as being able to fly and telekinesis and finding other people who have learned this by accident and then honed the skills and you can combine your powers if you work together but then we were being persecuted by "Them" because "they just don't understand" and of course, they think it's Satanic or something.... Ah, the funny ideas that go through my mind while I sleep....
Or I could post things I copy from other weblogs like:
Whom would Buffy slay? Utne.com uberintern
Brendan Mackie just pointed me to Cogitamus’ expertly assessed lineup of
Republican candidates as Buffy the Vampire Slayer villains.
John McCain is tagged as The Master, Buffy’s season one threat and a recurrent lurking danger:
The oldest vampire. Got killed early, but there’s some talk about how he might rise again.
And Ron Paul stands in as Moloch the Corruptor, an ancient demon that finds new life haunting the Internet:
He’s been around a long time, but he only recently absorbed himself into the internet, where he now has a bunch of overexcited followers who spend too much time online.
If Buffy’s not your pop-culture point of reference, you should 1) rethink your pop-culture frame of reference, and 2) enjoy the more accessible
slate of Star Wars candidate analogies posted on Craigslist.
