Hair bands

there is a reason they call them that.

I made this radio station on Pandora based on 'the WAND' by Flaming lips and it turns out to be a mix of new bands along the lines of Hot Chip, Apostle of Hustle, and The Webb Brothers--- with comically bad 80s rock. Not sure where the latter is coming from, but it is indeed hilarious punctuation for all the emo stuff.

in other news, I had a dream last night that I was in Paris, talking to a store/brasserie owner as they were closing, and he was letting me sample all these fancy cheeses. He had taken a liking to me and gave me a bunch of samples to take with me "I don't do this for everybody, you know" he said, I was pleased.
Later, I was working prep for an attractive english TA of mine (I think he was supposed to be my ENWR guy but def. was not him...) who I had learned that in addition to liking soccer, worked as a professional chef for a time, and other amazingly-attractive-to-me things. I was sidling up to him at the stainless sinks, watching him peel vegetables under running water... needles to say, in the parlance of Karine, I was totally about to cream my pants. (maybe I will change that later, but it sounded hilariously appropriate just now.) Anyway, in the dream, someone walked up to us, interrupting the close moment; while in real life I woke up as I 'rolled over' to see who it was.
Sigh, all good things come to an end.
