is theremin in the house?

1. Pope, Pope, go away! Come back when you are gay! Or at least gay-friendly. I love your outfits, but give me a break. I bet you are going to cause serious commuting snafus when you're in NYC. Okay, so you're giving me a good excuse to work from home that day. Let's call it even.

2. I had a dream last night that I was a postal inspector investigating mail fraud. I was very good at my job. My boss was either Eric Bogosian or Anthony Bourdain. Maybe a combo of the two? Bourbosian? Anyway, Bourbosian had a really nice, spacious loft apartment filled with very strange, Alexander Calder-kinda mobiles. Bourbosian was also a bit sweet on me. I was considering sleeping with him for the apartment alone. (Proof of a tragic, New York sensibility at work: Real estate over desire.)

3. Portishead have a new CD coming out!

4. A friend sent me this vid of a cat playing a theremin (coincidentally, an instrument used by Portishead to great effect on previous albums):

Perhaps the cat has a gig playing with Portishead now.
