Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in a park with my family and we’re eating food under a tree. This song is playing. I’m standing and doing dance moves that only allow one section of my body to move at a time. It starts with my head and neck, then down to my shoulders and torso, next my hands and my hips, my knees bend in and out, finally my feet shuffle from left to right.

Song of the Day: Borderline by Madonna

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in a laundromat and this song is playing on a boom box in the corner. There is a slight static over the audio. I’m standing in front of a dryer and, while intensely staring at my reflection, I’m pumping my arms like I’m lifting half pound weights. Then with my palms against my thighs, I alternate rolling my shoulders. At a wide stance, I make outward stepping motions but don’t actually move my feet. As my dance number wraps up into an emotional finale, I strike a pose and the dryer buzzer goes off.

Blurb 1/365: Take one bad day and throw it in a bowl. Add pizza and couch and stir together. Sprinkle in TV and let sit for 6 hours.

Musical Pipe Dream:  I’m stage right slightly in front of the drummer and next to the guitarist. I’m playing bass. My posture is extremely straight and I’m tapping my foot to the beat with a wide-eyed stare.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m singing at a wedding with a drummer and a xylophonist. We each have microphones and we all sing at the time for harmony. I’m wearing a skinny suit with ruffles on the shirt and I’m dancing by moving my arms and hips in a shoveling motion.

Blurb 1/365: I fell on the stairs at BART today. It was one of those slow-motion falls forward on the stairs. A little boy asked with genuine concern, “Are you ok?” Aww … (I’m ok.)

Blurb 1/365: While enjoying my couch, I watched eight movies this weekend. I believe this deserves some sort of award.
