Musical Pipe Dream: I’m wearing a black party dress with a small hat that has accented netting. The skirt of the dress is puffy and ends at my knees. My stockings are red and my shoes are black suede. I’m wearing bright red lipstick and grooving with my elbows tucked in slightly above my waist. I’m singing backup for the hook.

Blurb 1/365: Animal Crossing is kind of like eXistenZ. I saw one of the animals walk by another animal’s house and look through the window. I was like, “Should I call the police?”

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m standing next to the bongo player in a packed band. I have a tambourine that I’m swinging from waist height up to my eye height as I keep time. I clap the tambourine when I reach the top and the bottom.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m attending a karaoke contest and there are a group of women singing this song. They all have name tags on and a woman named Susan starts rapping Spinderella’s part. She’s all smiles but comes to a halt upon the line, “and he knows that my name is not Susan”.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’ve created an animation of ghost shadows dancing together. It starts off with one shadow swaying back and forth. The number multiplies until there are several lined up in rows. The hero’s mana is full and he spins through the crowd and conquers them one by one.

Blurb 1/365: After seeing two very successful side by side video remakes (Simon and Simon, that Kayne West video) it really encourages me to go through with my plan to do a remake of the The Deele’s Two Occasions video. There’s a perfect shooting location at a place near my parent’s house. This would require several wigs and shoulder pads. Plus, I would need direction and editing skills. If anybody wants to collaborate with me on this, let me know!
