last night's sleep

in case you were wondering, it turned out to be: not well.

poofy-neck kept me up and tossing and turning for most of the night.

perhaps tellingly, an online dream interpretation guide tells me, under the entry for "neck", that

To see your neck in your dream, signifies the relationship between the mind/mental and the body/physical. It represents willpower, self-restriction and your need to control your feelings and keep them in check. Consider the familiar phrase, "don't stick your neck out" which serves as a warning against a situation.

To dream that your neck is injured, indicates a separation between your heart and mind.

To dream of a thick neck, signifies that you are becoming very quarrelsome and quick-tempered.

fortunately for me, i'm far too tired to quarrel with anyone. Anyway, the aforepictured neck qualifies, in my opinion, not as "thick" per se, but more as "flaboobly", which doesn't appear anywhere in my dream guide.

alas.

tyra banks is the howard dean of daytime tv

i feel really conflicted about posting this, because i hate tyra banks and i really hate to contribute to her slow but certain world takeover. on the other hand: wow.

so here it is, courtesy of bethesda (whom i callously omitted from my cast of characters but who, you should know, is doing quite well):
stick with it. it starts to get good around 1:38.
