the awesome/terrifying freedom

maryindiana wrote me a poem:

There once was a blogger named Joe
His lack of sleep filled him with woe
With bedtimes so erratic
My question isn't Socratic
Why is Morpeus your foe?

awhile back walt also wrote to tell me about 'american idols on the road,' which i started to watch but had to turn off because it was giving me a rash. after that , i did watch 'world idol,' where kelly was beatn by the 'hobbity' polish guy, who, in terms of geekiness, is the world's clay aiken. i don't think he's gay, though.

the guy from south africa was hot. cheesy hot in that casper van dien way, but hot.
