Is it really strange that I had a dream about attending my high school's 10th reunion (which I did not, 3 years ago) and come in this morning to find an email from someone who was my best friend from age 9 to 15 and next door neighbor? Asking me if I went to it?

I can blame the dream on the NPR piece on school lunches, I think. Though I'm not sure why we tore out an exterior wall on Steve Inskeep's cape cod cottage.

Maybe I didn't wash all the pesticides off the apricots I had for dinner last night. (Actually, they were apriums. Whatever the hell an aprium is. Tastes like an apricot.)

I really wish it was still the weekend.

On GA: I missed something. Why do we think that Burke is in for some hurt next season?

Whatever the hell an aprium is

I'm guessing it's the new name for a pluot.

Oh yes, that helps a lot.

sarameg - my feeling (on GA) is that Burke is more invested in the relationship than Yang is. Also that when he finds out (and you know he will) that she had the abortion without even telling him that she was pregnant -- hurt! Anger! You know what I mean. I admit that sometimes I think that Yang is more invested in the relationship than she realizes herself, but this could just be my silly romantic soul.

Aprium is just weird. But maybe not as weird as semi-prophetic dreams about high school reunions.

I have the most annoying song in my head. So annoying I won't even share it.

Pluot® and Aprium® interspecific hybrids are complex crosses of plum and apricot. Unlike plumcots, which are simple plum x apricot crosses, Pluot® and Aprium® interspecifics were developed by the Zaigers through intricate hybridizing, requiring several generations of crosses to create these new fruits.

No, I don't really know what that means.

I really don't need to eat trademarked fruits, you know?

So annoying I won't even share it.

The tween that lives in the apartment across the trees from me had a dance remix of Milkshake playing on loop Saturday night.

I'm still not recovered. And now you won't be either!

My old friend and I drifted far apart in high school. Like way far apart, but not acrimoniously at all. We just were different people. So anyway, there is a lot of intervening years stuff that is just absent from any knowlege we have of each other. And it is startling to realize this. She asks if I'm married, have kids and I'm like, do you not know me?!

And well, no. She doesn't. We were important parts of each others' childhoods, but it didn't go past that.

And dude, I'm old enough that the marriage/kids question is perfectly reasonable. Now THAT'S freaky.

No, I don't really know what that means.
