Know what’s hard to focus on first thing in the *morning? Inception. I mean the movie (hence the italics) not actual inception. Now that I think about it though, I suppose college is one long attempt at inception if you define it as the planting of ideas. If only we got to learn by traveling through the dreams of the great minds of the past. Then again, the un-great minds could be just as interesting. Actually when it comes down to it I’m pretty curious about what dogs are dreaming of when they start running in their sleep. I mean it can’t always be rabbits. Nobody take that as a diss on the purveyors of higher education (mom) I would simply like to be able to see into the minds of everything, that’s all.

In other news, I think sticky notes are trying to take over my brain and destroy me. They amass in an army all over my desk and set out to confuse me until my mind is dashing around in frantic circles waving its metaphorical arms and bouncing up and down in frustration. I looked up just now and saw a sticky note on my desk that says “Time Capsule,” there’s one next to that which says “City of Ruin.” I’m assuming/hoping it's merely a book title and not some pre-apocalyptic warning to myself about what’s going to happen to this place. There’s also one that has a whole bunch of numbers written frantically on it and I have no idea what they mean anymore. Two others say “Inception” that one’s new and corresponds with real life enough for me to understand,  and “tix,” is no doubt a remnant from my recent ticket purchasing adventure (Icelandic accents are nice).  A note clinging precariously to a trail of other notes is clearly filled with the strings of a guitar. At least that makes sense. Those three are ok, the rest are at their devious work. This is why so many of the world’s leaders have palm pilots and online calendars, not to mention personal secretaries. You can’t run the world when sticky notes are running you. At least I’ve figured out why I’m not in charge, I’m sure if I had a secretary nothing could stop me.

*Morning = 11 a.m.
