Item! Last night I dreamt that I joined the Polyphonic Spree. It was nice getting paid to tour the world and sing in a manner much more half-assed than I do in the car, even. The dream also featured a haunted school subplot, but I've forgotten it now...probably because of all the imaginary weed I was given before taking the stage with the Polyphonic Spree.

Item! Eric and I saw Monty Python's Life of Brian yesterday and I found myself laughing in anticipation of all my favorite bits, particularly the stoning scene, "alms for an ex-leper," the Latin lesson and John Cleese's laugh after the second mention of Nortius Maximus.
