The new year.

So... the last two nights in a row I've had dreams about terrorists. The first night, I was devasted because my extended family couldn't make it in time to the safety compound we had created in the wake of massive bombings. The second night, a woman in my dream told me that the terrorists (whoever they may be) had figured out a subliminal way to mind-control Americans. All they had to do was use the word 'eulogy' in a television or radio broadcast, and we helpless and hapless Americans would poison ourselves. It's totally fucked up. Perhaps these noctornal delusions would make sense if I was a 9/11 survivor or something, but seriously, I'm in no mood for therapy. I can't wait to see what tonight brings. Can I preempt the recurrance by tossing back a few Tylenol PM?

Also, I'm feeling much more social these days. After essentially hibernating since the DeVotchKa show on November 30th, I'm getting out again to see Asobi Seksu and the Appleseed Cast and Portastatic and Grizzly Bear, among others.

And... if you didn't already know, I've had a lovely boyfriend for quite some time and we now share a place on Franklin and Bryant. It's lovely and so is he. In addition, I never ever thought of myself as a cat person, but we've welcomed two of them into the family. Tito, the girl, is black with some tan spots and is somewhat flighty and Artie, the boy, is orange and stripey and cuddly beyond belief. We're quite smitten with them.

I hope all is well with everyone reading.
