bethje and I watched the HBO documentary Latin Kings: A Street Gang Story. It was pretty interesting. I'm somewhat surprised by how much the documentary makers were allowed to film. I get the impression that King Tone (former leader of the Kings, now incarcerated), especially, was arrogant enough to think he would actually come across well. I can't really understand the gang thing in general. Maybe it's because I'm a suburbanite.
I had a dream where I was washing the dishes and listening to They Might Be Giants. In the dream, I was half-asleep, and I kept hearing the wrong words to the songs. As usual, I can't remember what any of the alternate lyrics were. I DO remember that I was listening to the first disc of Then, and two of the songs I heard were "When It Rains It Snows" and "The Famous Polka." I really wish I could recall more of what comes up in my dreams, so I could see if it's any good under more conscious conditions. I remember I once dreamed of the phrase "5000 orchards and merry salt," which I think must have been derived from the title of the Ben Folds Five song "One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces." Just the title, though, as I don't think I'd actually heard the song itself at that point. Then there was the time I dreamed of a couplet something along the lines of:
I just jumped a total stranger
What did he do? Bathe in light/anarchy?
When I was researching Leonardo da Vinci back in my junior year of college, I came across a similar poem that Leonardo had dreamed up. I think my own dream-poem was from my senior year, so maybe I had Leonardo's on the mind. Who knows?
