I.
On Sunday I made a creamy cauliflower soup. It involved pureeing and that frightened me. Plus, I had the divide the recipe in half, so there was math that also frightens me. It turned out delightful and silky and it is so good I’m a little sad that I didn’t have anyone to share it [...]

Four wholly unrelated things I want to tell you

I had a sex dream about Bruce Springsteen
So yeah, a dream about Bruce Springsteen. A graphic, physically satisfying dream where he complimented me on technique and I didn’t comment on the fact that every woman he had sex with had signed his headboard with a black Sharpie. I am classy like that. I spent the entire act looking for other Jodis because [...]

The worst part was I had to live in Roseville
I dreamt last night that my family made me move into you Aunt Tete’s house in Roseville. I am not sure where my aunt had gone, but all I know is that I was forced to live in her house. It made me very sad, having to live in Roseville. So sad, in fact, that [...]

I had a bad dream about local musicians I don’t even know
In the dream I was being followed by some sort of Jetsonsesque hover stage filled with musicians including, but not limited to: Craig Finn, Martin Devaney, Marty (a boy I went to college with), and some others who were not so easily identified. Dave Pirner was on the hovercraft acting as a conductor. It was [...]

I am not sure what the spotlights had to do with Gatsby
I am always surprised when a song I really love comes on Eurydice. Apparently I forget that I filled the stupid iPod with songs that I really love.
Last night I dreamt I went to a Liz Phair book signing and she invited me out to go out to dinner when she was done. At Denny’s. [...]

I can’t even begin to get this
Last night I dreamt that Vodo made me park Ruby and swim to Grumpy’s, fully dressed, while smoking a cigarette. Apparently Grumpy’s had been relocated on the shores of Lake What the Fuck and the blacktop that is usually there in back was turned into some sort of sandy beach complete with volleyball court.
Peabo [...]

David Carr did the best he could
Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, because some of you won’t make it to the end of this piece. David Carr’s memoir The Night of the Gun is really good. It’s dramatic, spell-binding, engaging, encouraging, and all sorts of good stuff you look for in a book. In fact the [...]

I am not sure of the symbolism of a hedgehog making a milk shake
In the dream Grumpy’s was crowded. I was sitting at a table with Vodo and some other friends of mine. Peabo was at a different table across the bar with Neko Case and some other friends.
Vodo gave me a card in the shape of a bowling ball, inside he had drawn a cartoon of [...]

I did not have the time of my life
Last night I dreamt I went shoe shopping with the members of Green Day. They were not very nice to me. However, the shoes were really cool.

The Vonnegut of my dreams
There was a great flood. I think that maybe the Minnesota River had overflown its banks and flooded most of Shakopee. I had to jump from a plane with a parachute to get anywhere. When I got home, Kurt Vonnegut was sitting at the dining room table in Supergenius HQ. He was using my old [...]

On making out and Blue Oyster Cult
If we had a nickel for how many times I’ve randomly shouted (both outloud and in my head) “Time to play B sides, time ain’t on my side, time I’ll never know” we could all go out for ice cream on me.
I suppose if you’re gonna have a Blue Oyster Cult song stuck in [...]

Typing at a coffee shop
I’m sitting in the Dunn Bros in EP at a table for five, alone. The place is pretty busy and each new coffee drinker who spies me sitting at the table shoots me a dirty look. I want to prop up a sign that says I am waiting for four other people to join me, [...]

Prince and Liz Phair on the Dating Game
So I was on the Dating Game but instead of three bachelors, I had a bachelor and a bachelorette. One was Prince and the other was Liz Phair. They answered all my questions with each other’s dirtiest lyrics. As the game progressed they went from speaking the lyrics to singing the lyrics. Even in dreams [...]

Dream ingredients
Last night I had a dream that involved Peabo, The Deets, my friend Mike, the flooding Minnesota River, and Vodo being on called ‘The Vodo’ on TV.
Also, the most disturbing part of the dream? I gave birth to a baby boy who I decided to name Randl Fiction. Yeah. Not only did I spell [...]
