Well, dear readers, I am up at six in the morning because I ate far too much spicy Chinese food last night and I am paying the price. The price is $2.98 for those who are interested in what the price is for having eaten far too much spicky Chinese food. Has anyone noticed that I am apparently so groggy-eyed and vaguely discontented, that I typed “spicky Chinese food” instead of “spicky Chinese food”? Did anyone notice I did it again? Why is it so hard to type “spicy” at six in the morning; that is what I’d like to know?
In any case, here I am at six in the morning, paying the price ($2.98) for having eaten too much spicy Chinese food.
Last night I dreamed I was at Manderley.
In my dream I was with people I don’t care for and I didn’t want to be with, yet there I was, with them nonetheless. I was also having trouble breathing through my nose. Then I was in a DVD store and I got quite upset because two box sets were coming out and each set contained thirty-four DVDs and they were quite pricey and I was not happy about it. Then the man who does my framing said he was going to bring some New York business to Los Angeles – as he told me this he was putting gray highlights in his hair with a toothbrush. Then I was in a very small automobile, sitting with one of those people I don’t care for and I was telling them I wasn’t angry. I don’t know if that was in reference to the fact that there were going to be thirty-four DVDs in these box sets. Then I woke up.
Wasn’t that a marvelous dream? It is the kind of dream one has when one eats too much spicky/spicy Chinese food. Would it interest you to know that it has taken me exactly fourteen minutes to write the above? Certainly it doesn’t interest me, but I thought it might interest you.
I am looking out the window and dawn is breaking. Every morning dawn breaks – that is a lot of breakage, in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo). Every morning we have to bandage up poor dawn and then the next day it just breaks all over again. That is just foolhardy behavior but who am I to say nay? If dawn wants to break then I will not stand in dawn’s way. What the hell am I talking about? You would think I ate too much spicky/spicy Chinese food last nigh. Did you notice I just wrote “nigh” instead of “night”? My eyes are like two little slits and it is very hard for me to see the keyboard and to even think about what I’m typing.
Well, perhaps if we all click on the Unseemly Button below, I’ll be a little more alert in the next section. Let us try and see, shall we?
Have I mentione that I… Did you notice I just typed “mentione”? Apparently things have not gotten better in this section. And all because of the spicky spacky wicky wacky spicy Chinese food. Today I shall not be having that sort of food. Today I shall be having a different sort of food, although I have no clue or clew as to what sort of food that will be.
Today, of course, is our Unseemly Trivia Contest, and I have an unseemly trivia question all prepared. Here it is:
A huge Broadway musical flop. The music was by a legendary composer, and I do mean legendary. The artistic consultant was a legendary lyricist. The cast included a future soap star, a Tony Award-winning leading man, someone who is appearing in a hit musical on Broadway right now, and the husband of someone who is appearing in a hit Broadway musical right now.
Name the musical.
Name the legendary composer.
Name the legendary lyricist who served as “artistic consultant”.
Name the four cast members referenced above.

Perhaps I shall go jogging and while doing so I can pick up the shattered pieces of dawn. Perhaps I shall go back to bed so I can dream some more obtuse and surreal dreams. Perhaps I shall eat the leftover spicky spacky wicky wacky ticky tacky spicy Chinese food. No, that’s the one thing I won’t be doing because to do so would be lunacy of the highest order. Don’t forget to check out our brand spanking new Unseemly Interview with John Treacy Egan, who is currently wowing them on Broadway as Franz in The Producers. He tells us everything we ever wanted to know about everything, so just click on the link to new sections icon on the left on the home page and you will be whisked away to Unseemly Interviewland.
Well, dear readers, I think that is all I shall write today, since we had such low traffic this week I don’t really know whether anyone will even be reading these brilliantly spicky spacky wicky wacky dicky dacky spicy notes. What would be a nice surprise was if we had a lot of postings today, but I’m not holding my breath. Have you ever held your breath? Did your breath enjoy being held? Did it appreciate the sudden shower of affection? I am quite stuffed up, just like in my dream. Perhaps I shall go take a shower of affection, that might wake me up. Well, whatever I do I do and whatever I don’t I don’t and the devil take the hindmost. Today’s topic of discussion shall be dreams. We all have recurring dreams and my guess is that some of them would be frighteningly similar to others’ dreams. So, I want to know what your recurring dreams are and if you remember one particulary weird or vivid dream that you’ve never forgotten. I’ve already written of many of my dreams right here in these various and sundried notes, so now it is your turn. Post away, my pretties, and post often and post long and post about other topics if you can’t remember your dreams.
