i grabbed my head and we fell into it like a daydream or a fever

I hurt my back so I'm bored. Which means you get an email full of weird stuff.

ok, so you may or may not have seen michel gondry's "the science of sleep" (i haven't, but i hear it's good. i recommend the "director's series" compilation DVD though.) but he's done a bunch of music videos that are really bizarre and imaginative (bjork, beck, etc -- to give you a taste, here's a Cibo Matto vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPJ9TS_5tAo ). the man's a visual poet of very high caliber, just take my word for it. but that's not why i bring Michel Gondry up. I bring him up for cheap comedy; to wit:
