• 7/15/11, last night. I was in some big library type place. Lots of people were there, all the tables were full. Tom Brokaw was there, only it looked nothing like him - he was young, cute, had dimples and kept smiling at me. Dennis Quaid was there and I wanted to try to get a picture with him, but he was busy looking up stuff in the card catalog. I was waiting till he finished. My hair was wet and I had a towel on my head. Rachel Maddow was also there. I had some books (which I knew I had no intention of reading) I wanted to check out but couldn't find a librarian. Some girl told me it was on the honor system and that you just left money on the table, so I left a $5. Little Feat's "Fat Man in the Bathtub" was playing.
