If I can find a book of matches I'm gonna burn this hotel down
I had painful dental stuff happen this afternoon and ended up taking a two hour nap this evening. I had the most wonderfully strange dream I can remember having in recent times.
I went on a road trip with none other than Tom Waits. We were driving these roads through someplace beautiful in the country. So pretty and peaceful. Heading to a bar to hear some friends of Tom's play. We passed a dairy and he said we should stop in there tomorrow and get some fresh milk. I asked him if they had chocolate milk and he said "course they do, they knew you were comin'" all in his Tom Waits voice. I was charmed. And figured out that we would still be there somewhere the next day. I sat on the back seat and he kept looking over his shoulder at me and I kept telling him to keep his eyes on the road, not me. Naughty Tom!
But the place we drove through? I could feel my eyes popping out of my head even in dreamland. I wanted to yell "STOP" over and over to get out and take pictures...but I knew we were expected. Well, Tom was at least.
He is an excellent dream tour guide and I hope some day I get to go back and enjoy that dreamland glass of chocolate milk with him.
