Ann: Why are you waving your hands around like that?

That's my quote of the day, I think. I'm getting slammed in this particular quote for my storytelling mannerisms, but it's witty nonetheless. There were a lot of good witticisms today, from myself and others.

Me: Once more, [The Idyllist], I have to say: "wah?!?!".

For example. This is after The Idyllist, prefacing her statement with the usual "not to creep you out or anything", related to me a dream she'd had about the amazing Dan the night before.

Apparently she was in the Lawrence University Chapel, because I'm relating the dream now, and some Starship Troopers-style insects, accompanied by Lucky, that insidious Lucky Charms leprechaun, were menacing her.

Then, in superhero costume complete with cape, the hero of this dream rushed in. He dispatched the leprechaun quicker than you could say "look at the buckles on me boots" and, donning the head of the dispatched elf, I used Lucky's mind control powers to subdue the bugs. I have to admit that in real life I'm much less heroic.

Which all came out of someone else's head. Amazing. It still managed to include my growing dislike of Lucky Charms. What is 'magically' delicious, anyways?

Well, today, immediately before The Idyllist related her dream, Ann of Stillwater and I attended a Career Center meeting for English majors, which had excellent handouts but was otherwise useless. Looking at iffy jobs gave me another good reason to work hard at writing.

I've got to write a few dozen "What Dan Wants" lines for the radio show. I think I'm getting sick of my segment. Later.
