A*Team fanfic has eaten my brain.

• The Keanu Reeves award goes to: "And the team is all I've ever had. So don't try any of that 'whoa is me' crap!" Face glared at Frankie.


• I cannot tell you how much I giggle over the warnings. Warning: Utterly harmless. See what I mean?


• As soon as he heard the Colonel ask Face what was going on, Frankie's overactive mouth came back to life. "That's it, ask Face, there wouldn't be any biasness there." Hmm...biasness is not being picked up as a misspelled word by Semagic or Word. Strange. It isn't listed in my dictionary, though.

Weird dream

I dreamt that I was in a coffeeshop, and I had my keytar with me, and I was getting ready to perform.

I got all set up and then sang a couple songs. "Livin' on a Prayer," by Bon Jovi, stuff like that. My keytar was really awesome--I think I was involved in the design or something. Anyway, it was small (had only an octave and a half of keys), and it had these funky buttons on the edge that could do all sorts of stuff. The buttons were really neat--they were like minature antique typewriter keys. And there were switches and all sorts of other fun things all over it.

I finish another song, and then I realize that the woman who is front row in the audience (she looked a little like Molly Shannon from SNL) was actually a talent scout for a music label. She seems to be losing interest, and says something about my horrible music choices.

"Oh no!" I say. "Those are the songs everyone requests. I'm just so used to playing those! I didn't know you were here! What do you want to hear?"

She names a country-western song that I don't know at all, and I ask her for another suggestion. She says another country-western song, and I'm also clueless. I realize that her label skews toward country-western.

"Wait, I know! I'll play an original song. This is one of my own." I start up a beat that I've pre-programmed into the keyboard, and I begin to play and sing. The keytar is fabulous and immediately harmonizes with what I'm playing. It even does a full voice-box backup vocal. The song is pretty fun, though I can't remember it now. (There were two verses that were from two different POVs, a guy's and a girl's, about being in a relationship together.)

I wish I could remember the music now. It was a fun kind of alternative pop song, and it would have been nice to sketch out a little of it. Still, without the magic keytar, there's no guarantee that I could do it justice in the real world.

Last bit o' spam for a week

I'm off to WI. Will be back next Wednesday night.

I will miss you all!
