1. It's still Aggie's birthday. We're taking her out to dinner tonight. Probably to Rafaella's. (Her choice.) Excellent restaurant on Bleecker.

2. Terry just emailed me and said he tried to register for that Psych class and that there was no possibility of overtally. He couldn't get in. This sucks. Who will I play hangman with? Aw, Terry. Aw, man.

3. I had a dream that stuck with me when I woke up today and I wish to record it here. A bunch of us were at Scott's show. We were in a balcony watching it. It was the part with the Sock Monkey and Rebecca Fleck. Rebecca went into the audience to pull someone onstage to be healed by Pookie. In the dream Scott called Pookie "The Blind Monkey" (like Mr Slivko did with his blind monkey in 8th grade Earth Science). Scott came back onstage with a sexually ambiguous teenager with long blond(e) hair. The format of the healing was different in the dream than in the show; here, Rebecca asked the teenager to tell Pookie what was wrong. The teenager said, "Every morning in front of our house, we find that someone has written Levias in the snow. Who is Levias?"

I whispered to Gina next to me, "Do they have any neighbours named Levias? Sheesh."

The audience is growing restless now and throwing snowballs at the stage. Rebecca tries to regain control by performing mock-fellatio on Pookie's sock phallus. At this point, a well-dressed blonde woman storms down the aisle and screams to the teenager, "Get back to your seat this instant!" Scott whispers something to the teenager, who sullenly descends back to her chair as the audience pelts her mother with snowballs. (Why the audience is equipped with snowballs in this dream, I don't know.)

Scott comes over to us during this ruckus and sits down next to me. "The girl's name is Levias," he whispered to me. Understanding dawns upon me and I turn to the Goil next to me and say, "I get it. She was looking for attention, recognition from her overbearing mother." Pleased with my analysis, we turn back to the stage to see Scott changing for his next number.

I woke up repeating the name Levias. Levias, Levias, Levias. What does that mean? Of course, it means nothing, but who was that teenager? Who was that mother? What a strange and interesting dream.
