...on the subconscious

the bastard doesn't understand.

i keep having these reoccuring dreams.

they take place usually in and around the neighborhood. and i don't recall the overall storyline in the dream. it's not like the rat dream s i used to have but, i never really talked about them much (it's kind of a long story).

anyway, the only thing i can recall when i wake up is:


somehow, the black guy from night court keeps showing up. not bull or harry anderson but, the black guy.

hell i didn't even like watching the show. when it was in syndication, the mofo (rest in piece) would want to watch it and i kind of didn't want to. which was not to say that i never watched but, i never really watched it willingly. i thought the bull character was unfunny, marky post had the worst 80's hair and harry anderson was not just awful, he was god awful.

anyway, the bastard clearly doesn't understand why the black guy from night court? why not the black guy from sliders? i actually watched that show when it aired on regular tv as well as syndicated on the scifi channel. the bastard just doesn't get it. stupid brain, pick better reoccuring subconscious cast members. dammit!

...on rat kings

so the bastard hears things. mostly things thsat prompt him to but into conversations

"you see when rats live in tight quarters, their tails get tangles together and form a rat king"

"who's a rat king rob?"

"i was just telling jiffy pop, the asst photo editor about how when a bunch of rats get tangled in their own tails have to function as a single organism is called a rat king. but it's an urban legend"

"you know, i saw the nutcracker when i was a kid and when they trotted out the rat king, he had like 10 or 20 heads"

"really?"

"yeah it was kind of creepy when i was nine"

"i saw the nutcracker once, and granted it was a small company and the dancing was okay..."

"you know..."

"...but i have to say that when they killed off the rat king in the first act they left nothing for the second act but dancing candy. they should have saved some action for the second act"

"you know, i was going to tell you that it pays to go to lincoln center to see that but when you put it that way, the second act is still bullshit dancing candy"

"bullshit dancing candy?"

"yeah"

"have a ever told you the plot for cats? it goes like this. "where's mr mistoffelees? where's mr mistoffelees? oh here he is."

broadway sometimes makes me want to jump through a plate glass window sometimes. anyone want to go see edward scissorhands the musical?
