dreaming of bobby mcferrin

Wow! Did I remember a dream from last night? Yes I did!

I was on a mission. I don't remember what the mission was, but I remember being on a mission. And that mission took me to my childhood home.

I transported myself there, because I have the power of teleportation...in my dreams.

I went into the house and found Bobby McFerrin giving singing lessons! YES! Bobby McFerrin lives in my house! Well, not my house, but the house my parents owned when I was younger. So it's kinda my house.

But, due to the great acoustics of my childhood home, Bobby McFerrin made it into a recording studio and vocal education center!

Things get a little hazy after that. But I remember I was on a stage with Bobby McFerrin and I walked off. I was only on stage for a second. I don't remember doing anything. Just walking off.

Then I bumped into my friend Kevin. Kevin from high school, not college-Kevin. Sorry college-Kevin, you were not in this dream. But I do think of you when I'm awake, if that makes you feel any better.

Kevin, from high school, and I talked for a few minutes. Then I walked out of the auditorium and stood next to the bus with all the kids in band. I think they were in band. There were band instruments there. Tubas and the like.

And then I woke up. That was it.

I think it means something. Maybe I am supposed to get the power of teleportation! That would be cool.

I'm off to worry not and be happy.

Enjoy Everything.

computer attack

Soooooooo...this weekend, my computer was assaulted by a virus. It was awful!

All I did was click on a story on Yahoo and everything went crazy!

So, I hired a ragtag group of mercenaries who fought the virus. I think they are still fighting it today.

The mercs came highly recommended. They have Rock, the muscle; Pierre, the ladies man; Ninja, the tech guy; and Tech, the highly trained assassin.

Those are their actual birth names. Except for Pierre. I hear his name is really Jordan.

Anyway, they are fighting the virus with lasers and stuff. That should do the trick. We'll find out later today.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire my anti-virus team.

They wanted to be the A.V.-Team, but they don't know much about audio or visual.

I'm off to fix my computer.

Enjoy Everything.

wild potato

I've RAVED about Ketchup Potato Chips in the past. And for good reason. They taste like awesome.

Unfortunately, they're hard to find in the U.S. In Canada, you can't toss a hockey stick without hitting a few bags of Ketchup-Flavored potato chips.

But China has the REAL treasure! They have flavors like Blueberry, Lemon Tea, and Cucumber!

They even have flavors unknown to me! French Chicken, Hot and Sour Fish Soup, and Numb and Spicy Hot Pot!

What are those?! What's the difference between chicken and French chicken? What does "Numb and Spicy Hot Pot" even mean?!

It sounds fantastic! Why do we, in the U.S., get so little variety in our chips? I don't get it. We need some new flavors! Food is so boring here. Let's spice it up a bit!

OR! Let's numb and spice it up a bit!

Do you go numb? Would you just collapse after eating a bag? It sounds so fun! I need to try some!

I'm off to get numb and spicy.

Enjoy Everything.

camel problem

Australia has a camel problem. It's true! They are everywhere! And they seem to be causing all sorts of damage!

It is actually the world's "largest feral camel population." (feral camel is fun to say!) Yep. In Australia! And you thought they only had kangaroos!

So Australians are trying to get rid of the feral camel. Some ways are not so nice, but other ways are VERY nice! Like exporting them to other countries!

Camels could become a huge export for Australia. YES AUSTRALIA! Home of the koala!

I couldn't believe it, either!

Other countries love camels, so it's a good way to get them out of Australia.

Camels are good for lots of things. Like riding, um...and other stuff!

That should be their slogan. "Camels! Good for riding! AND OTHER STUFF!"

You better get your camel now before they sell out! We'll even give you a camel accessory kit FREE! And a koala!

Order you camel today!

Okay...I'm off to get my own camel and koala.

Enjoy Everything.

pistachio

Have you ever had a pistachio? They're pretty good. I bought a bag for the first time the other day. I don't remember ever having them before. They may have popped up in some pie or cake or ketchup I ate, but I never specifically bought solo pistachios.

Why is it so popular to buy them STILL in the shell?! I don't get it. The only other nut that seems to come shelled is the peanut. And I don't think the peanut is really a nut. It's more of a legume where the pistachio is the "seed of a thin-shelled drupe."

I put that in quotes because I had to steal the info from the online world.

Do people like wasting valuable eating time opening the pistachio? Wouldn't you rather just eat it? Why do all that work?

I don't know why people would do that. I DO know that pistachios are good.

I also now know that the horse-chestnut is an "inedible capsule."

The things you can learn in life!

I think I will buy more pistachios. Even if they come in shells. Some guy once did a study saying that the shell was good because it made you eat fewer pistachios since you had to work so hard at it.

He never watched me eat before. The bag said 20 servings. I did it in 3.

I also I like cashews a lot.

I'm off to buy more nuts.

Enjoy Everything.

right brush

I have to use my right hand to brush my teeth. Can you brush with either hand? Ambibrushtrous?

I didn't realize this until last night. I just automatically brushed with my right hand.

I tried to use my left hand and my mouth was not happy with that. The brush was just banging around all willy-nilly. I actually ended up with the brush part in my hand and the nubby end whacking my gums.

It kinda hurts. I'm sure my dentist would not want to know that I did that.

It would be great if I could brush with both hands. Then I could brush with my left hand and type things with my right hand.

Words like Polk, jump, lip, milk, etc.

Well, not "etc," that's all lefty. But you get the idea.

Polk was a great president. He liked to jump. He had lips. He enjoyed milk. All things you can type with your right hand!

I'm off to jump milk lip Polk.

Enjoy Everything.

of the month club

Have you ever been a part of an "Of The Month" club? I haven't, but I should. There is a PB&J of the Month Club! That sounds yummy! You get different peanut butter and different jelly every month.

That MIGHT sound awesome, BUT there is also a Black Socks of the Month Club! These folks will send you a new pair of black socks every month! You NEVER have to worry about going out for socks again!

You know what I need? An Underwear of the Month Club. Well, maybe not. That's a LOT of underwear. I did not know this, but underwear does NOT last forever. It starts falling apart after a while.

Unfortunately, finding new underwear is harder than it sounds. Underwear must be out of season, because I really can't find any good quality undies. I bought some Hanes because they SOUND like a good name. But they got holes already. I only had them for about two weeks.

Maybe underwear is fresher in the spring? I don't know.

I DO know that I just talked about underwear, socks and peanut butter for the last few minutes. I bet THAT makes your day a little better/weirder.

Sorry about that.

I'm off to see if my socks came in.

Enjoy Everything.
