Musical Pipe Dream: I’m singing at a wedding with a drummer and a xylophonist. We each have microphones and we all sing at the time for harmony. I’m wearing a skinny suit with ruffles on the shirt and I’m dancing by moving my arms and hips in a shoveling motion.

Blurb 1/365: I fell on the stairs at BART today. It was one of those slow-motion falls forward on the stairs. A little boy asked with genuine concern, “Are you ok?” Aww … (I’m ok.)

Song of the Day: Mellow Yellow by Donovan

Musical Pipe Dream: I feel like people are behind me so I look back only to see nobody there. I dismiss it as my imagination. I continue stepping to the beat and the man in the yellow suit and the woman with the pigtails pop out from behind another hedge and continue to follow me while dancing. The man in the yellow suit is doing sashays and pirouettes. The woman with the pigtails has her hands out in front of her with her elbows tucked into her sides and is advancing forward by doing the bunny hop. This continues as I keep feeling like there is somebody behind me, but I don’t see them no matter how quickly I turn around to look. Something must happen within myself before I can be allowed to meet these two.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m playing lead guitar and my sisters are on drums and bass. My mom’s rockin’ the tambourine. We’re all singing backup. My dad’s singing lead. We jam for 20 minutes.

Blurb 1/365: The things you think about most end up being the most important things in life. Think about the good things.

Blurb 1/365: I was on an airplane today and the pilot said, “Ok folks, we’re starting to descend now so hopefully you’re all through partying because I’m going to have to put on the seat belt light. And WHOOMP! *ding* There it is! Heh heh heh.” Nobody laughed but me. Tough crowd.
