April Fools Day

For about half a minute on Sunday, doomsey thought that we had started bombing Iran. His reaction to this piece of information was a sigh and then, "Oh boy!" However, before he went to look it up, he realized that it was April Fools and that I was pulling a prank on him. He claims that I hadn't fooled him, but he's wrong. His reaction to me telling him gave it away.

I also would have come up with something better (and more funny) than the whole bombing Iran thing, but I couldn't think up of anything at the time. And he's on to me with the phone call stunt. One year, he called up the Brookfield Zoo asking for Mr. Lyon. The year after that, he called up the New York City Aquarium asking for Mr. Wale.

Good dreams

Lately, it seems like the only dreams I tend to remember are nightmares, but last night I had a really good dream. I dreamt that I was at a concert and sang a song with a world reknowned singer. I don't remember what we sang, but it was a really awesome song. And I don't know if anybody out there likes to sing, or if I'm the only weird one, but it felt like what I sometimes do when I'm at home alone playing with my Karaoke machine and really getting into it. It felt good. At any rate, we brought down the house. Later, I got a phone call saying I was offered a record deal on my own merits. I remember telling one of my friends at the concert that, "I have to remember that this isn't Karaoke anymore" or something like that.

Yeah...I know...keep dreaming.

But any rate, the vibes I got from that good dream motivated me to go downstairs and play with the Karaoke machine today. I managed to nail a Melissa Etheridge song I've been playing around with for months...one that I previously thought I would always suck at.

That reminds me...one of these days I need to visit Sidekicks again.
