You know how when you’re falling asleep or just waking up or basically phasing in and out of sleep you can be having a fairly normal chain of thoughts and then you’ll have one bizarre one and that’s how you’ll know you were starting to fall asleep? It happened to me once while I was driving, which is a true story. I was driving back to Claremont from Santa Barbara (where I saw Lenny Kravitz and Blind Melon. Go ahead and judge me!) and suddenly I saw the Michelin Man and bunch of confetti out the left window. Soon after I felt speed bumps and my friend, who’d also fallen asleep, saying, “Are you falling asleep?” while punching me in the shoulder. “I was in the middle of an amazing dream!” I yelled at him. Then we crashed and died.

Well anyway, last night I was thinking that I really need to do something about my recycling/trash bin situation. Right now I have a lot of this going on:

That’s, from left to right: trash, paper and cardboard, bottles and whatever else goes with bottles (glasses and wonderful conversation, am I right?!?!?!?!) and another trash bag.

    I am conflicted about leaving the following comment, due to the fact that I have already posted it on your Facebook. Is it against proper internet etiquette to include a specific comment more than once in more than one medium, is it just annoying, or is it just not that funny? Perhaps I will Twitter that inquiry for your next Q&A Vlog installment. Comment as follows:


    “I have always wanted to see your junk. Nice.”

    Hey Suzy Homemaker, where's your compost pile? You ain't green unless you got a compost pile.

    If 'Balloon Time' inflated the balloons with Nitrous Oxide, you might just be on to something.
