You ran to Virginia?? No wonder you were out of breath.

Also? 'We're sorry, a gay guy touching you is not a crime.' Classic.

virginia is my safeword

i don't make up th rules, I just follow them, unquestioningly

I read an essay in the early 90s that claimed

[minniethemoocha]

that Baby Boomers tended to identify with Road Runner, and Gen Xers with Coyote.

i've always always wanted 2B Road Runner -- th carefree, guileless one -- but I think I was always closer to th one who tried too hard and thought too much. To me, Road Runners are th ones people are always falling in love w/, against their better judgments

You were in the Happening, Mario. Watch for Mark Wahlberg's giant, flared nostrils in your next dream.

toons were better when they were set to music

i've been warned against that movie, Dennis -- are you exercising yr contrarianism again and recommending that to me?

Nice dream. Th last dream I had turned a bit dark-but-sexy, and I am writing it up as a fiction now.

th following night, I had another nightmare and woke up in th middle of th night, but th wife was asleep and I was half asleep w/ no writing utensil, so I typed th following msg into my cell phone:

House break in dogs zs bea arthur what we gone do bout all th pluts

When I got up in th a.m. and looked @ this note, I could not reconstruct whatever it was

My gramma died of colon cancer, and toward the end she had a lot of pain medication. One night, she dreamed that she died and her ghost wrote some words of much import on the post-it note pad by her bed. When she woke up (because she had not yet died), it said something like "divide cake in freezer for funeral."

night business

spooooky yet pragmatic, I like it -- th next step is crossing off items on yr to-do list in yr sleep

i admire yr vivid dreams. i have been thinking of making a dream sketch jrn, but i think about doing alot of things my hands can't keep up with.

the dukes of hazard were excruciatingly cute. the one in the blue looks like a mini mza. you should get one of yr own.

yes a few people have said he looks like me i am enjoying that

[lostcosmonaut]

dig new th new hot icon, SP. I don't think I've seen yr sketches, only th paintings -- I want to see

You've got a pretty full easel, though, haven't you

What I enjoy most about th dukes @ this stage is their speech patterns; I almost don't want them to learn so-called proper English because they seem so free w/ it now, you know?

I like this Friday night el jay crew; it's practically a slumber party

--mza.

you should be. he's got the calm, contemplative gaze all, "am i having fun?"

[flightviolation]

that is some beautiful shit. it reminds me of edith piaf who i am obsessed w of late, after seeing la vie en rose.

though their little voice are so beautifully simple, those free speech patterns will soon be replaced w free speech observations. then the real fun starts. i promise.

he s got no time for tv but always want to know what people around him are doing

some years back I was w/ a woman who had a little boy; we were together from when he was two to when he was eight, so I got to hear him say a great many things, some of which still come back to me now. Demonstrating that he knew that women have no penes: "They pee out their butt." Riding in th back seat as I drove over a steep hill: "That scared my penis." Upon meeting my brother, who looks like me: "It's the same Mario." Now we're friends on F-book and I see him w/ a beard and girls flirting w/ him and having a girlfriend and railing against capitalism, and I'm exactly like an old person wanting to say, "I knew you in a simpler time."

One time I was at my dad's house and I was going down the stairs, and as I was going down, I grabbed the wooden door frame and a splinter came off of it and went straight into my thumb, underneath the nail. It hurt like hell, and it incapacitated me for a really long time as I laid down on my bed and rolled around in agony. I also remember that I had just started playing Zen Arcade on the record player, and this music was all I had to comfort me because no one was home. So splinters can be really scary and painful, depending on where they attack you. Plus, the idea of experiencing pain, however minimal, randomly and unexpected at any moment is one of the scariest things I can imagine. That's like some interrogation torture shit right there. It's the waiting for it and fearing it that would really get to you.

Somehow, I would save this paragraph and recycle it for a movie:

I ran to Virginia and dialed 911 on my cell phone. An automated menu came up, but I panicked because it was in Spanish. One of my superpowers was that I

yes, very much yes: dreams are a FREE subscription to great images you can use in yr art. Th problem w/ transcribing them is they are v. raw and personal, and "raw and personal" equals "boring" about 80% of th time -- unless I am in th dreams, in which case they are never boring to me. I love telling people dreams of mine that they are in, because those people are th definition of a rapt audience. My favourite part of yr dream is th "Mom!" part; that's poignant. Thank U4 feeling my pain, dog
