Stephen Merritt can have his Busby Berkeley Dreams....

[beautifulduckweed]

...I have XKCD dreams.

I dreamt last night that Randall Munroe published a collection of XKCD comics. They were printed on special electronic paper, and each page was filled with Easter eggs and secret little animations that would come to life, if you just knew where to touch.

Reed College ordered a thousand copies of the book. Of COURSE they did. And on the day they arrived, katealaurel and I joined the swarming mob to check out a copy.

I woke up deeply disappointed that it was just a dream. But hey, it's better than the spate of horrible nightmares I've been having about ghosts, or the end of the world, or Ben being swallowed alive by a Hypno-Toad the size of an elephant.

But the Busby Berkeley dreams are outrageously beautiful!

[misshepeshu.livejournal.com]

Yes, true, but they're not awesomely nerdtastic.

Are you going to see The Magnetic Fields next week, by the way?

[leahseraph.livejournal.com]

Alas no. They were sold out by the time I tried to buy tickets. And craigslist hasn't proved very fruitful in that department.

Tell me how it goes though - I anticipate awesomeness!

[misshepeshu.livejournal.com]

Yes yes, I will. Maybe I'll see you, even, in this next trip up.

[leahseraph.livejournal.com]

That'd be exciting. If you give me warning, I can get people together for another firebreathing lesson. If that's of interest.

My diagnosis: too much time on the internet.

NO SUCH THING THIS IS HERESY

Oh man. I want that book to be real SO BADLY.

[misshepeshu.livejournal.com]

Me, too! *sobs*

Sleep with me.

So I too can have XKCD dreams!

So THAT's why your mom had an XKCD dream, too. Who knew dreams were transmissible?

Oh my God, yes. Funny, articulate nerd boys are my kryptonite.
