About me:
"I really like 3.30 in the afternoon when the sky is overcast and there's thunder and there's rain and you're watching the Monday Matinée and you've got a nice big solid piece of toast in front of you. That to me is life lived to its fullest."
- Morrissey

Last night I dreamt we went to the new Star Trek. In my dream version, it's only about 60 minutes and ends abruptly. The theater was pissed.

Can your new name please be saresh? And, do you remember the fly? Doesn't the transformation of Mohinder remind of you The Fly? Oddly familiar.

for the record. I work in commercial so I have nothing to do with it. But since I sometimes answer the phones, I've been getting yelled at a lot by people who aren't stoked on their rent increases...
