You know, if I had a gospel choir at my disposal, I too might make them repeat the words "good dope, good fun" over and over.

And I'd keep a straight face.

Because, you guessed it, I am still the coolest person I know.

I'd totally forgotten how much I love this song. Right now, I have good dope, good fun by Spiritualized on repeat. I just watched the last episode of Buffy. I am in a cloud of contentment. Smiles all around.

Yesterday my dad called. We spent a good 20 minutes on the phone in almost complete silence, broken only by near-inaudible mutters and exclamations of triumph, while he attempted to book a hotel in Las Vegas online.

Clearly, multi-tasking is not my dad's forte. In fact, you could say he sucks at it. Eventually, he put the torture to an end by hanging up on me so he could call my mother and do this to her.

Honestly, though, this is a great improvement on living in Toronto, where he could call me at least three times a day for these kinds of father-daughter bonding moments. Now, we can only have these special times when he has a phone card. I mean, it's actually kind of sweet that my dad, who is perfectly capable of booking a hotel in Las Vegas online, feels that he needs to be on the phone with me to do it.

No, no. The problem was actually that he would intermittently break the silence by asking me what was new with my life. The only response that came to mind was: Nothing I want you to know about.

When is it not a good time to take a nap?

Well... that's just crazy talk. Who would even ask such a question? Any time is a good time for a nap. Just ask cats. Or babies. Or senior citizens. Or anyone who is as attached to their bed as I am to mine.

Napping is one of my all-time favourite activities. I love weekends because they extend your napping time. Instead of just napping in those ten minute bursts like I do at work, I can nap for hours. Days, even. One wonders why I ever get out of bed.

Lately, I've received information about a bed rest study that not only pays better than my current job, but would provide room and board. All I have to do is nap.

Dear god in heaven. It's like they thought of it as a gift just for me.

"Hey Alleen, what are you doing today?"
"Can't talk. Must nap."

I don't think life gets any better than that.

Have a look at Minileta here and here. Yes, he does have a lot of hair. I have affected him through osmosis.
