• 1.25.04, 3:58pm - Dream a Little Dream For Me: I recently had a dream in which Kim and I were at our friend Dan's place. The three of us are waiting for Sean to come visit. All of a sudden we hear this noise coming our way, and we figure it must be Sean. I look out the window, and Sean arrives in...a real, life-sized, working model of a shuttlecraft from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
"I knew it!!", I exclaim. "He said he was going to get one, and he did!" So Sean flies up to the house and lands right outside the window. I'm crapping my pants. Kim can't figure out what the hell is going on. But the greatest part of it all: Dan is extremely jealous of Sean...because Dan's shuttlecraft is an earlier model.
It is at this point that I wake up laughing. I'd never had a dream with a punchline before. Best dream ever.

Kim and I saw the movie Big Fish last night. Not a bad picture. It's an interesting idea for a movie, and it's pulled off relatively well. As usual, Ewan McGregor puts in a great performance. And I never thought I'd find myself saying this at all--let alone putting it on my website--but Jessica Lange is a beautiful woman--physically and otherwise.
But my favorite part of the night was watching the trailer for the new remake of Dawn of the Dead . After watching said trailer, the guy behind us promptly informed us that the movie would be "the shit." I couldn't help but think the same thing myself, but probably not for the same reason he was thinking it.

Finally, most people probably know by now that the Iowa Caucuses were held last Monday night. I did some travelling with the candidates that day, and here are some pictures of what I saw:
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry displays his strength by holding up the ceiling of the aging Des Moines Convention Center using only his fists.
Without missing a beat, North Carolina Senator John Edwards responds by doing the same...using only his thumbs.

Undeterred, Kerry moves on to an auto body repair shop, where he explains the dangers of SUVs.
Kerry: "OK, now move just a little to the left. Take one step back. There. OK, Bill, let 'er rip!"
[Thud]
Kerry: "That, Mr. Huntington, is why SUVs are dangerous."

Meanwhile, at Ames High School, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean shows off his freakishly huge arm, which he's been bulking up to be able to spin the big wheel on The Price is Right.
---
Later, Dean tries to remember what he had for lunch that day.
Dean: "I ate three--four--no, FIVE babies today!"
---
Meanwhile, back at the Convention Center, John Edwards appears to be fighting off a sneeze....
...to no avail.
---
The next day, despite his disappointing 3rd place finish, Dean seems extremely pleased with the new creation he's made with Jimmy Carter...
...country singing sensation Deana Carter.
Sorry, this is why I don't update my website very often.
